Les-lay and her frankly astonishing cleavage were *suspiciously* good at sneaking up on people.

This episode had very Buffy ‘Fear, Itself’ Gachnar vibes with the little alien being stepped on by Mick.

I for one am thrilled, THRILLED, that this season’s Legends is keeping up with the “I’m gonna puke” physical gag gag.  We’ve had Ava and Sara so far and it never fails to work on me.

This is a nice example of how Legends has evolved since season 1. The Chronos suit looked Power Rangers-esque laughable in season 1 when they were still trying to go for a semi-serious drama. The suit isn’t any more realistic now, but it fits much better within the lighter tone of the series.

Legends is best when I put aside expectations for the type of comic book/connected universe show I want and just enjoy what’s actually delivered. When I first saw the title “Ex-Factor” awhile back I thought it was a hint at a Nyssa guest role. And as pointed out elsewhere, the whole “kidnap warriors and take them to a…

• An episode set in Zari’s time (and not just in the Tarazi household).

Continuing to love that Gary’s An Alien turn, and particularly how he keeps holding his arms up in their ‘natural’ state even when he’s got his disguise on.

I can’t tell at this point if Dark Gideon is foreshadowing another glitch in the system or her A.I. personality is now fully totemed from her time with the Legends.

Somewhere deep in hell, Damien Darhk is very happy about Johnny C, the London street magician.

-“Personal phone. Business phone. Phone for all the Persian guys my mom tries to set me up with...emergency phone.”

I was thinking that but that would mean that William is Rom and that’s an insult to Rom.

This is definitely an episode I look forward to rewatching, even if it could have used maybe 10 more minutes to breath.

I will miss this show but it has its issues. I think the lack of continuity and its approach to characterization are the biggest problems. For example, when J’onn got rid of the DEO’s lethal weapons and Alex went along with it because the writers had to make a statement about a topical issue. It wasn’t in character…

“Alex envisions a scenario where her over-confidence forces her to sacrifice herself to save her friends.”

I was completely tricked by the first vision, to the point where I was genuinely irritated at the direction things were headed. The second time around I got it, but it was really well-done. The Alien 3 homage in Lena’s story was absolutely delightful, and overall I thought it was really well-done. Hopefully it can…

The show’s had some interesting production design choices to get around the TV budget, for sure. Supergirl driving to Mars in a Chevy Convertible (ie. J’onn’s disguised spaceship) while blasting Britney Spears. Or that Argo City is a sci-fi hippie commune. 

I haven’t watched Supergirl since maybe its first episode or so, but as a result I find every still photo in this review totally bizarre. The cheapazoid Star Trek knock-off sets, costuming combinations (guy in kaftan! man wearing a suit that looks like it’s built out of styrofoam!), and off-kilter camera angles seem…

OK, wasn’t expecting a B+. This episode kind of lost me once they reset to Lena and I realized what the format would be, though I do agree I was clueless during Alex’s wildly out-of-character dream, fooled that Kelly was seeing reality, and unsure if J’onn was in a vision or the real world. So from that perspective, th…

• It seemed weird during Lena’s segment that the Tower had such different architecture throughout it. Then I realized that it was part of her nightmare.
