Supergirl TV Series

That would be an amazing twist.

I also considered a body jack when Kara talked to J'onn and he just flew off.

We'll see if that's the case.

The set they used for the Kent farm during the last crossover was literally the same set from Smallville.

No, no, I knew about the farm appearing during the mini-Crisis. But when and where was Chloe referenced?

Actually, I'm wondering about that myself.

Season 3, episode 6, Midvale.

She helps hack a laptop off camera.

Wow. Eve was not joking when she said she'd been with Luthor from the beginning.

I even realized it when she first showed up at the start of the episode.

Edit: He gave himself Cancer?! Damn! Cryer's Lex might be the craziest one ever...and the ballsiest.

I feel kind of bad how utterly pointless that Agent Liberty turns out to have been

Just a distraction.

Haha, poor Ben. He was nothing but a pawn in Lex's big game.

Good.

Edit: It also dawns on me that in addition to being Red Sun Supergirl, Kara's clone is rather similar to Matrix, what with the closeness to Lex.

Then there's her choice of Linda Lee for an alias, and her disguise being dark brown hair, likely to evoke both Comic Pre-Crisis Supergirl and Helen Slater's film.

Dear god, this episode was amazing. It's probably up there among the best Supergirl has ever done.

The great parts:

• Jon Cryer continues to impress as Lex. And this isn't the "business man" Luthor from the DCAU, no, this is full blown mad scientist "I wear a green battle armor" Lex Luthor from the Silver Age.
• Eve's introduction was interesting and I like the fact that a small joke bloomed into something bigger.
• Otis actually did something! Something good! He was funny and he saved a kid's life! Against orders, too!
• Melissa Benoist as Red Daughter/Linda Lee was just so goddamn good. And she plays her much differently than Kara, too, as we can tell when Linda is pretending to be Kara. I wonder if we'll get a scene where Kara pretends to be Linda?
• Also, I love the Linda Lee shout-out and also the fact that the name she chose had two L's, just like Lex.
• I also love the fact that while Lex did lie to her, most of what he told her was the truth.

Goddamn, this was a great episode.

Those are the best lies after all.

Oh and I also love the moment when Lex walks past a row of cells, rattles off different chess moves, and manages to checkmate all of them. Ridiculous? Yes. Entertaining? Hell yes.

During Lex's trial when everyone started coughing and My Way started playing:

Lex: And now, the end is near...

(Bailiff handcuffs him and slams his head on table)

Lex: OH GODDAMMIT SHIEEET!

The reference, in case you don't get it.

I really enjoyed that episode. Jon Cryer's Lex has definitely got to be one of my favorite version of Lex Luthor.

As everyone else has said, loved the episode.

Had a really good time watching it, CW Superhero shows don't always keep my attention nowadays, but I was glued to the screen the whole time.

I was skimming the reddit episode thread, and someone mentioned that whole Mon-El thing from season 2.

Now I don't know if they planned out Eve's betrayal that far in advance. But Eve manipulating him would make for a fantastic AU point.

Its not something the show would explore I think though. Since he's not a regular anymore.

Wow, I think this might be my new favorite episode of the show. An absolute blast, from start to finish.

This and "Man of Steel" from earlier in the season might be the best episodes Supergirl has ever done.

Though I suppose it says something that my favorite episodes are the ones that focus on the villains for a solid hour, rather than our main cast of heroes.

Midvale is also another great one.

Oh I absolutely loved Midvale.

So...Kara and Lena patched things up, but it required Kara to be the one to apologize.

Fair? I don't know.

I'm glad there's no more melodrama between them. I'm also glad that Alex and even General Haley immediately recognized that Supergirl would never attack the White House. They aren't stupid and they've known Supergirl long enough (even with Alex's mindwipe) to know she would never do that. (Although I have a feeling Haley knows through different means — perhaps she knows about Lex's plans?)

Other things:

• I really enjoyed James's PTSD storyline. Finally, a storyline that is interesting and fits him. I hope his sister becomes a bit more interesting, though.
• Ben Lockwood now owes James for saving his son and getting him out of there before the massacre.
• I wonder what Lillian told Lena.
• So Otis did die, but Lex and Eve brought him back via Metallo-izing him. I wonder if he also has the Kryptonite chest cannon thing. I wonder if they tried and failed with Mercy?

In any case, the best line of the episode was when Kara called Eve a crazy Lex girlfriend.

And now it's a 3 weeks break. Meh.

Anyways, good episode. Although I really wanted Red Daughter to finish the job on Lockwood.

That is the writers not being willing to follow through - Lex really should have told her to make sure of Lockwoods demise, because anything else muddles the narrative and leaves a loose end, neither of which is very Lex. "Supergirls" rampage is supposed to be about the repeal, right? Well, that is Lockwoods baby. If she is going to murder anyone over it, it should be him, not a dozen bystanders and then leaving him alive. But he is a named character, so..

Maybe not. Lockwood is supposed to be a fall guy and patsy right?

We see that next week he's pushing to lead the charge against Supergirl, even attacking the DEO (or just trying to get them to tell him where Supergirl is).

He was kept alive to continue Lex's dirty work.
