Supergirl TV Series

Basically yeah. The original showrunner and lead writer got fired for me too sexual harassment halfway into the season, so Supergirl was delayed in order to write new scripts

Oh.

Oh damn.

When did that happen?

I mean, at what point in the season did it take place? I'd like to have an idea of when the plot switched tracks.

Around the time Earth-X was happening.

Dam the shift from “not even law enforcement should use guns”, to “kryptonite bullets, hell yeah!” gave me whiplash.

Also way to screw up Kara, if instead of throwing the blood to the witches for dramatic effect she’s just destroyed it in her hand they couldn’t have bought Rein back.

I'd heard about Flash's showrunner getting the boot, but Supergirl's too? -long whistle-

Wait, what happened with Flash?

The showrunner was charged with sexual misconduct and got booted. Not sure if it was around the time of the Earth X crossover.

EDIT : Andrew Kreisburg who, it turns out, was heading both Supergirl and Flash. Huh. Though it was a different person.

You know, as cute as this moment was, I can't get past the probability that Barry stole this ice cream from some poor ice cream vendor.

I'm sure he left a few bills to pay for them.

Alternate universes give those headaches. Think bills with the same serial numbers would be troublesome, or they might have a different person on them (The MMPR/JL comic crossover had Bruce with some bills with Lex Luthor on them, because of course Luthor did that), or may be way too new (try paying with money of the 21st Century on the sixties).

There's a short story I read once where a movie buff wanders into an alternate universe where the local video store has a bunch of classic movies that never got made in our universe. He's naturally dying to see them, but his money isn't any good since the alternate universe also has slightly different currency.

Eventually he scrounges up enough acceptable change to rent one movie and take it home . . . and finds out the alternate universe's video discs aren't compatible with our universe's players. Cue the sad wah-wah trumpet.

You're making more of this than you need to. All the ice cream cost what, ten bucks or so? The Supergirl and Flash universes are similar enough that they should have the same presidents on their bills, and while the serial numbers will be wrong, no one checks serial numbers on small change. If for some reason the guy realizes that Barry's money is invalid and trashes it, he's just out ten bucks, which isn't a big deal to a food vendor.

I refuse to believe that.

This is Barry Allen we're talking about. Fucking up is what he does. I'm sure he ruined multiple lives with that stunt, because that's who and what he is.

N'uff said.

I see your point and raise you another, this was Crossover Barry. He's allowed to be less of a screw up compared to his own series.

By giving that vendor some change Barry set into motion a chain of events that resulted in Reign and the rest of the Worldkillers being awakened.

Well...

For those of you who really hate Mon-El, you don't have to worry about it anymore...

And now she's punished for doing what she should have done in the first place.

Edit: Wait, Time travel. Never mind.

2nd edit: Ok...did not expect that ending.

"I want to be a single mother."

"That's nice. I'm going to dump my very important job on you so I can go fart around the planet. Good luck!"

Its a terrible plan. Alex would be an excellent breadwinner and authority figure in a childs life, but her deliberately single-parenting.. seriously, she should not be adopting, she should be going on ok-cupid and doing a filtered search for single mothers. (you cant literally do this, but rigging the algorithm to show you a lot of single mothers is trivial - just answer positively to all related questions) Or, you know, just putting the moves on Sam.

Not to mention that Alex is not a good person to give authority over a black agency.. This is not a complain about realism, she is very much the kind of person who often ends up in charge of such places, and it is entirely in character for the martian to hand her the job, but... Alex has never met a short cut she did not want to take.

Odds of the DEO becoming less of a human/alien rights catastrophe on her watch is approximately zero.

Well, that was a nice episode. And the first genuinely good season of Supergirl I'd even go so far as to say it's been the best of the Arrowverse bunch this year!

Legends wins that one. The season has been pretty good and it ended fairly well, but the seams of the mid-season course change due to the firing of the show runner showed.

So legion of superheroes spinoff when? Becuse I want more Winn.

So, thoughts on Lena keeping a sample of that Harun-el?

I feel like she's just abusing Kara's trust now. Yes, she screwed up by asking James to check her vault, but c'mon. She's been trying to smooth things out between them ever since that time, but you just keep shutting her down...and now you lie to her and keep something that her mother just said is very, very dangerous.

What the hell Lena?

It makes for easy drama next season, so I'm whatever on this whole thing.

Technically, Lena never said she didn't have any Harun-el. She returned the Harun-el that Argo gave them, and also gave them the recipe for making more. Alura assumed this was all the Harun-el Lena had, but (at least from what we were shown) didn't think to ask whether Lena was using the Harun-el recipe herself.

Sigh.

I'm going to go back to watching Arrow and Flash self-destruct. Their decomposition amuses me.
