I mean, this WAS, objectively speaking, a much bigger scoop than the Watergate thing, and involved the reporter breaking the story almost being killed multiple times to keep her quiet.

Honestly Lex taking over Lockwood’s role kinda makes sense on a metaphorical level, because greedy corrupt assholes manipulating xenophobia and hatred to ensconce themselves in positions of power is pretty much how it works. Sure the true believers are ALSO a problem but so much of the modern alt-right is a giant…

I don’t get what killing Gemma gets her.

Yeah. A book across the face is what really intrigued him

Yeah. There have been more than a few episodes of “Forensic Files” where searches of people’s computers turn up evidence of looking up effects of poisons or other stuff.

Kara asks Alex for advice; Alex gives exactly the worst advice possible. That’s a drink. I don’t like that Alex is so reliably full of the worst ideas, but that’s the Alex the show keeps giving us.

For tonight’s political commentary, “My Way” is Donald Trump’s chosen theme song/pump-up music, and there’s no end to fascinating speculation on how that ties in with his character. And, of course, there was the aside about putting Baker in a blonde wig.

I really love a degree of nemesis mismatch... no, that’s not a good way of putting it... maybe “unequal emotional investment by enemies”? The point is, Lex is fighting Supergirl, and Supergirl’s show, but his heart belongs to Superman. The specific thing it reminded me of was some takes on Batman, where the Joker is…

I just realized the episode title is a pun on the name HeyWorld. They already mentioned the name a couple of times in previous episodes. Dang it.

The point still stands, they all knew and she didn’t.

I thought when I heard Jon Cryer was cast as Lex it was the worst ArrowVerse casting I had ever heard of. Now I would rank the best Supergirl villains as:

all human adults who can become pregnant or have sex with people who can become pregnant* should know that birth-control pills are taken daily, regardless of whether the person intends to have sex that day. you don’t just “stop” taking them if you’re not getting laid. jesus. [/headdesk]

At least we never actually see Kara’s writing so you can pretend it’s good. Unlike, say, Karen Page on Daredevil where we get to know that it’s definitely bad.

I have never facepalmed harder in my life than I did watching Alex tell Kara not to tell Lena the truth. Great job Alex, you are now almost solely responsible for anything Lena does when and if she probably goes bad. I mean, all of them are complicit, but Alex in particular made the brilliant call to keep the guise…

Nyssa has to meet Alex, has to has to has to.

I don’t think they are going to go full villain with Lena. I think they’ll tease it but at the end of the day she and Kara will reconcile.

It’s strange to see Leviathan being picked up as the villain for Supergirl when it was primarily a Batman thing in the comics but we’ll see how that plays out.

Brainy rebooting himself was the standout moment of the episode for me. I had a hardy guffaw at them once again talking about the toll the cancer took on Lex. Gotta explain away that lack of an age difference between Brenda Strong and Jon Cryer. And in a weird way I’m sort of glad that Lockwood never had a change of…

On one hand this was better than last year (And probably the year before that) but on the other hand this had some very big problems throughout. The real world analogues didn’t always work, and in fact fell flat sometimes. This includes Lockwood who kind of fell flat in the backhalf once things got serious and they…

Man, sleeping with Hugo, Eve is really going off the deep end.
