-What did I just watch?

I think Lena just needs to figure out her own family shit and how to recognize the difference between malice and mistakes, and the give and take of adult relationships.

going off Kara’s huge impact on Lena, I really hope the speech at the end -about how Kara will be there if Lena wants to forgive her/will stop her if she decides to do villain shit- will spur Lena to go good again. maybe I should be optimistic about her moral fluidity in the 4 scenarios and believe she just needs…

I mean, it seems pretty dumb that she doesn’t. but they showed us Kate doubling up with that woman in the Batsuit and just showed us Mary explicitly figuring out Kate’s Batwoman, so it would be weird if the audience was just expected to think Sophie knows.

re: early/late 2000s, Moonlight debuted in 2007 and totally flopped for being too early on the vampire revival.

-Aww, Mary and Kate acting sisterly during the doctor appointment.

yeah, I would really like more Danvers sisters time in the back half of the season. they’re the best.

-The thing I have not loved about the Lena goes evil storyline is that it undercuts a lot of what was great about her early arcs: there were a lot of forces around her (Lillian, Lex, societal expectation) pushing her towards being evil, and she chose to do good things anyway (betray Lillian, all the important science…

I don’t understand how they made killing Nazis this boring.

ooooooooooooh that’s gonna go over real well. maybe at least we’ll get Nyssa visiting the Waverider out of it?

did anybody intentionally invite Nyssa or did somebody just forget to take her off a next-of-kin list from when they were married? :P

re: the drinking, a religious thing?

and it could not be more obvious that Ford is having a very, very good time. It’s absurd, and that’s as far as its possible to be from a complaint.

yeah, Kara working for Lex seems untenable long-term. either he goes or she does.

it sounds like a lyric they outsourced to a Wall Street trading algorithm.

“Sweet but Psycho” felt similarly half-written to me

and his fellow pop iconoclast Ed Sheeran.

As a brief aside recently saw an interview with Nicole Maines who mentioned driving with Melissa while they were singing along to Defying Gravity and thinking “well... this is gonna suck” as they headed for the tricky bits.

well, Kara herself is still with the DEO, so she at least isn’t a vigilante. and theoretically J’onn+Alex could get actual PI licenses and help solve problems legally, though I’d be surprised if the writers bothered with that justification.

Kate should ask Kara to go out on a date. It would never happen. But in the aftermath, Kate would shrug it off while Kara would dissolve in a hilarious bout of nervous twitches, hug a pillow, and reevaluate her entire life.
