Smallville did a few Red K episodes. Sassy!Kara needs to come back.

I actually like this personality for her better. Keep the smarm, remove the hardheadedness.

Coming right on back with all the tragedy and total feels, aren't we.

Addendum: the villain of this one is kinda stupid.

So, if I'm understanding things correctly, J'onn's dad is suffering from Martian Alzheimers.

And yeah, Toyman's successor isn't very good. I mean, I'm pretty sure both Winn and his mom said the tech was inferior compared to Toyman classic.

That was an Excuse Plot if I ever saw one, but since Winn is an example of a winning Character Development I don't mind.

Always enjoy Mon-El getting called out.

Cool episode in general, I really hope there will be some kind of cure for J'onn's daddy.

Heh. Yeah, she really let him have it.

And even he knows he deserved it.

Oh well, it looks like things aren't just gonna be ignored, so lets see how it goes.

I do think having her get back together with Mon is a mistake though.

I really like Mon-El's costume. They did a really good job of translating that to live action IMO.

This episode did a lot to make me buy into the Lena + Jimmy romance. That was rather sweet.

Cape fu was fun.

Good stuff all around.

They actually had one member of a romantic couple go, "I'm gonna need to keep some secrets from you," and the other member go, "I'm cool with that."

What the hell kind of show do you think you're on, people!?!

This was a really well written episode. And gosh, the Sam and Lena scenes? Thpse were awesome!

I also liked the low-drama aspect of the scenes with James. Tough, for intensity of shipping fodder, the scenes with Sam stomped all over it in boots made of emotion.

That was a great episode.

I'm still hoping they go for a "Kara is a worldkiller" plot-line, But I doubt it given how close they're getting to the end of the season with another to still flesh out.

Caught up. These last few episodes were on point. Even the whole thing with Toyman was good. They've in general made good use of a villain that is normally kinda ridiculous. And they did it without the implied pedophilia some versions used, so bonus points there.

Not sure why Lena insisted on keeping Sam secret. I mean, I know what she said, Reign is a wanted criminal, but you'd think she'd trust Supergirl more. Maybe Lena will finally be brought in on the secret. Freaking Lucy got told without too much trouble, surely Lena deserves to know more than she did.

.. Because Lena is not an idiot? The DEO has an entire prison full of aliens imprisoned indefinitely without trial. Not a single one of those aliens being remotely the threat Reign is. Its a civil rights nightmare, really, even if the show never dwells on that.

Supergirl may be trusted to fight in the defense of earth and the city. That does not mean she could or should be trusted on this. (Especially since she still has not told Lena she is Kara. Either Lena has seen through that ruse, and has concluded supergirl does not trust Lena all that far, or she has not, in which case Lena hardly knows Supergirl on a personal level at all. )

Supergirl is known to work with the DEO. If Lena wants to preserve Sams long term liberty, not telling Supergirl the color of the sky is entirely the correct decision. If she wants to protect the world from Reign... Uhm, honestly, the medical cell she was keeping Reign in was probably a whole lot more secure than the ones the DEO use, so still at least a reasonable call.

Yeah, the DEO and Team Flash are both kinda horrible on the human rights issues.

Or in this case alien rights.

Hell, even in season 2, where there was such a big deal about immigrant rights, you still had many aliens who were villains, Alex torturing at least one alien and the conflict with the Daxamites was resolved by rendering the Earth environment toxic to all Daxamites.

To say this show sends mixed messages is an understatement.
