Well, the two other Worldkillers bit the dust. That was unexpected, especially since Pestillence has been around only for 1 episode. Also, please, PLEASE let Sam live :/

I also want Sam to get through this. Only time will tell if she makes it or not.

Kara, I say this with as much love as I can have for you in this situation: Get over yourself you goddamn, self-centered hypocrite! Lena does not work for you and her having Kryptonite is none of your damn business, especially in a world were Zod and Astra existed. Not to mention your Nazi doppleganger from another universe.

[up] Right? I really don't get why Kara and Clark don't grasp the simple facts that they are not the only people around against whom the Kryptonite can be used.

I know right? I mean, Oliver even spelled it out to her.

They need it in case they run into an evil version of her, which is a very valid scenario (remember that Ollie had just dealt with an evil version of someone he knew earlier, and a mind controlled Kara did attack him the year earlier, so he's fully aware that that can be a thing).

I kinda get why Kara and Clark get bent out of shape over it.

There are totally reasonable reasons for people to have it given how often evil Kryptonians or Mind Control appears.

But I can totally see why they get really uncomfortable with it considering its a weapon that works against them and them alone.

Considering how much of their lives they've spent thinking the're the last last (two) Kryptonians alive its got to feel instinctively like a personal attack.

Clark hating people having Kryptonite in this continuity is weird, too, because in most other continuities (including the comics) he's fine, even encouraging or actively invoking, of certain trusted people having access to it just in case.

We're never going to get rid of Mon-El. Supergirl and Lena aren't friends anymore, but Mon-El and his boring face will stay around forever.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Mon-El hasn't really been that bad this season.

But I guess the bitterness over season 2 is going to endure forever.

Eh, as long as people come up with some funny stuff when insulting him, I"m cool with it.

But I want classy shit. No groin shots or saying he should be dipped in acid. We need originality with our insults.

They should come from a place of love.cool

Edit: Right, while I get that Lena is angry, and I know we've giving her shit over bitching about Kryptonite, as mentioned in the recap page for this episode, Lena doesn't really understand how painful Kryptonite is for Kara and Clark.

I mean, being exposed to it is essentially torture. I'm not saying it's still not a necessary evil, but I don't think the things Lena compares it to really count.

Anyway, I hope Lena and Kara get through this. It'd suck for them to be permanently estranged.

I honestly forgot that Lena doesn't know Kara is Supergirl, so I was kinda confused during the elevator scene.

I'm firmly on Lena's side btw.

And seriously Mon-El, you're gonna make me hate you again?

When it comes to Kryptonite, I think Kara's perspective gets messed up.

Especially when people she trusts have it. I mean, just a tiny piece of it causes her to collapse to her feet. It's like forcing someone with an allergic reaction to wool to constantly work with Sheep.

Still, Lena's anger isn't unjustified. Considering the shit she constantly deals with, she's probably very hurt that when push comes to shove, Kara is like the rest of them. That would break anyone's faith.

Yeah. I haven’t seen the most recent episode, but Kara’s logic in the preceding one is overblown and kind of nasty. Especially the part where she’s all “we can’t trust Luthors with Kryptonite, investigate her!” as if the whole arc about Lena not being her family never happened.

Doesn't the DEO already know how to synthesize kryptonite? I distinctly recall a couple references to artificial Kryptonite in earlier seasons. I even want to say the sword that Alex killed Kara's aunt with was made with synthetic K....

One thing I'm glad of, despite the apparent souring of the Lena/Kara relationship it doesn't look like this is a Start of Darkness for Lena. She handling this in a reasonably mature manner, putting aside her feelings for the sake of the greater good while sticking to her guns.

All that being sid if they do mend the rift before the end of the season I'm calling it now: it will be by Kara revealing her secret identity to Lena.

Won't that just anger Lena that Kara kept it from her though.

Then again, that's what Lillian believed, and we all know she had a very poor understanding of her daughter.

I was thinking of it being in the spirit of demonstrating trust/ No more secrets between them.

Whatever happens between them I really don't want Lena to go bad, Supergirl keeping her Luthor walking with the angels is one of the things that keeps this show from being just Superman if he had boobs.

Yeah, those bobs are nothing but trouble.tongue

But your point stands. I also want Lena to stay good. Though even if she doesn't regain his trust in Kara, I don't think she'd turn. Lena being good or bad isn't dependent on her relationship with Supergirl, but on how she wants people to view her.

incidental gripe now; your odds going from 51% to 88% does not constitute an "exponential increase".

I like Ruby's new hair. Is that a reference to something? Some hero in the comics who has hair like that?
