I'd swap that to "Alex, Alex, and Alex," but yeah. Season 2's greatest issue is the dilution of Kara focus. (And also the lack of Cat, but that can't be helped).

Yes, this, exactly. Quest for Peace is shlocky fun (and a great soundtrack), Returns had its moments despite its flaws. III, minus that one scene, had pretty much nothing.

Yeah, in Medusa I'm pretty sure I was actually shouting at the TV when she ran straight at Cyborg Superman instead of just picking him off with her heat vision. True, it turned out he had a laser too, but at the time, as far as she knew, she had the range advantage and gave it up in favor of a punch-fest that she'd…

True, and I agree, but at least in season 2 I thought you was getting better. She hasn't been an outright irritating for a while now - but this whole deal with Wally, especially in this episode, was a nose dive straight into loathsome again.

Meanwhile, for those of us who don't watch Arrow, this just felt like a really pathetic excuse for a tie-in to the big crossover. At least Supergirl had something to do with aliens before the last 30 seconds… (Okay, Supergirl actually wasn't any better.)

Great point!

Yeah, and that was her second or third attempt. She finally learned her lesson. And I'm sure Barry will, the second or third time he considers changing history. :) But she screwed up the first time, too, and had to be talked down. If she hadn't had someone there, she would have done things just as badly as Barry did.

I was really afraid this crossover would feature Oliver or Sara besting her at some point due to their fan-favorite status, especially after Ollie talked about 'not holding back with me'.

So… was this episode designed to make me hate everyone but Barry, Oliver, Wally, and Kara? Because if so, mission accomplished.

"But even if she did eventually flee her job at the internment camp, this is essentially a story about a Nazi deserter seeking forgiveness."

"My colleagues gave their lives to stop climate change"? Ugh, what happened to this show? Season one was so great, but someone decided to turn this into 'political soapbox theater,' and season two has crashed even harder than Flash season two. This is so disappointing.

I'm thinking Stein has put more time into loving his wife than his work, and int he revised timeline, they decided to start a family together, and it's his daughter he's seeing.

"Sounds to me like you have performance issues."

Two small complaints… Jesse is 'almost as fast as Barry,' who is now running at tachyon-boosted speeds that season 2 seemed to imply couldn't be achieved naturally? Just a little weird when they seemingly went to pains to establish that he was now at a whole new plateau that couldn't be acheived by biology alone… bad…

Maybe the alien president just didn't do her research… :-)

Is it prekudice, though? I mean, basically every episode of the show to date has indeed proven that there ARE dangerous killer aliens hiding among humans, that do have purely hostile intent. And Kara isn't saying that all are like that, but recognizing that some do exist.

Wow. Aliens become a clumsy metaphor for homosexuality, illegal immigrants, and western perceptions of islam all at once. I think the message would've been a little stronger (and more coherent) if they'd picked a single metaphor and stuck with it, because the points they make to one metaphor fall flat when aplied to…

I'm curious, Joshua, are you a parent? Because I have to say, much as I liked the boys, there was never a scene with Joyce that was not eminently compelling to me; I was far more invested in the distraught mother's quest to find her son than any of the other (decidedly fantastic as well!) plotlines. And since I have a…

Especially because the 'dig in deeper' guy seemed to be posting a relatively mature, polite request for further clarification. Yeah, he go frustrated with the random vitriol spewed at him by the bot, but… he doesn't exactly seem like a troll getting his just deserts. More like a guy trying to maintain a standard of…

So basically, it's Kendra's fault that Snart & Rip's wife and son are dead? Because if she hadn't wimped out to save a temporary incarnation of Carter (which they then transplanted through time so he could replace the present incarnation, even though that means that in 150 years, she's going to have a lifetime without…
