He makes a good point, Eastenders should be full of minorites, instead most families are white. Also they all speak English.
Last nights episode was so bad, the constant turning back human, even when the white martian was knocked out (what? it should default to its natural look, not use more energy shapeshifting) was cheap and boring, and the night fight to hide the awful effects and fight in general was lame.
Also, the white martain refers to itself as 'White Martian'. That's not some major complaint, but it is stupid.
Also what stops the Wite Martain giving away Hank is an alien to anyone at the DEO.

They don't really have any other name
Is it any more stupid than calling themselves Martians at all

why would it keep shifting back when it's natural form would just make it an easier target? In the DEO they're going to immediately shoot a giant white alien, not a senator.

Man, Kara getting that Surface upgrade.
That doesn't help its situation. It would still be unable to kill him.

The Mars flashbacks. 
Considering the comic geek involved with this show I would be surprised if Bizarro-Girl doesn't start talking talking the way Bizarro does as she starts breaking down.

Because Sam Lane as director would have the White Martian incinerated.

The shooting doesn't do shit anyway, and again, when it is knocked out it still does it.
Really good episode thanks to the developments in both Cat and Martian Manhunter. Glad Winn is being shown the door (or elevator lololololol), but I do miss Jimmy even though he had a hilariously small part to play this episode (that filter, really?) But all-in-all this show has been getting better and better and I can't wait to see Bizzaro Supergirl.
Also, as always, major props to David Harewood. I feel like he did a great job delivering his dialogue about Martians and such while not feeling silly watching it. Plus, loved this "comic book" line right there. Nice wink wink nudge nudge kinda line, but the way he says it just sells it.

The shifting mechanism probably doesn't take into account what can kill and what not. It was also attacked by something that cut off a finger, so it would think it was in danger.
Maybe they got the cage material from what was left of Fort Roz er w/e it's called.

Psychic emitter making them think the walls are made of fire?
I wonder if that was really a place with physical restraints as the phantom zone would stop them anyway.
Caught up late, always have trouble staying on top of Supergirl (all I do is Winn).
So is Blake Jenner a weak actor or does he just have no chemistry with his wife? I'm leaning toward the former?
All the Martian stuff was great. Any scenes involving the Manhunter or Cat are usually quality.

he's definitely nothing special acting wise. I didn't mind him here but he's definitely blah.
It is the acting.

I'd be very surprised if we don't get her. It would give Kara and especially Hank great potential storylines.
I just thought of the perfect choice to play her too; Holly Taylor from The Americans.
Can we have her without the Young Justice "Duh Megan" stuff? That was annoying as hell.
I will be very disappointed if Kara doesn't drop a few "Hello Megan"'s after they become super bff.
It is a new part of the mythology with the space elements which is heavily futured while the Earth-2 stuff is underused.

You're telling me a Glee alum isn't strong acting wise? I find that hard to believe.
Well. If you discount Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, Lea Michele, Jonathan Groff, Idina Menzel, Mike O'Malley, Jayma Mays, Jessalyn Gilsig, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch and Darren Criss, sure.
they should bring him in. make him the Music Meister if they can't get NPH
Don't forget NPH.

Flash being the worst element of his own show is easily running it into the ground.
And then they do potentially amazing stuff like Dr Light, etc and they are made into one-off villains.
even Jay(who I never really cared about) lost his powers previously and has to play set decoration to this boring Barry.

Blake Jenner got on Glee via winning a talent show that many feel he never should have won. I think that tells you all you need to know.
Also lol at anyone who thinks Darren Criss can act. Blaine was the worst.
as someone who never watched Glee and only his Team Starkid stuff, i've enjoyed him.

On Glee, when he was her love interest, it equally didn't work. She seemed to have more chemistry with the other part of the love triangle.
It's entirely possible that he just can't act.
He was limited to one episode.
There is a clear distinction between being able to act and being able to turn the Glee script in something worthwhile.

Well Kara technically like 48 even if she's only half that biologically due to the Phantom Zone stuff.
Hottest 48-year old ever in that case.

Adam was killed by Toyman (or some robot duplicate of him) in the comics. Wonder if that will tie in here. I will laugh if Winn turns evil when Adam dates Kara and then kills him. Although as I theorized a while back, I do genuinely expect Adam to die in some way that pins the blame on Supergirl.
That seems like it would make for awkward conversations at the Jenner family home.

Tom Welling on the possibility of playing Superman on Supergirl:

You know, I would totally love if he did.
But I don't see it happening though.

Tom Welling should play a Big Bad. He always seemed to enjoy his villainous turns in Smallville.
Black Kryptonite Clark was great.
BewareTheBatsie

Well, we know that Clark is active in this universe as Superman from the minimum of twenty four, since that's the time in which Kara was in the Phantom Zone and crashed to Earth to which he found her. About eleven years Kara's been on earth right? So Clark is about 35. Welling is only 38, so he could reprise the role.
How old was Clark by the time Smallville ended? I mean, I know he literally did everything by the time he became Superman so the sentiment really was sort of eh, but was he early or mid twenties?

Not to mention every episode that featured Clark hopped up on Red K.

How about this:
Toyman is sterile. He's an engineer who can create anything, but he couldn't give his wife the child she wanted. That is, until he found fragments of a Kryptonian super computer. He uses one of these fragments, as well as scans of his own mind, to build a synthetic human.
The DEO finds out, and Henshaw comes to take Winn away. Toyman instead offers to build him his own synthetic body to serve as a backup in case something happens to him. Henshaw agrees, but decides that the backup should have the appearance and powers of Superman.
Winn gets destroyed by Henshaw, but he's repaired in the year 3000 and founds the Legion of Superheroes in honor of Kara.
Winn is Braniac 5, Welling plays Superman and Cyborg Superman Hank Henshaw.
They need to cast him, but I don't think he should be Superman. Dean Cain and Brandon Routh didn't get that honor. And they'd only be able to use him for short times, having him show up as another villain or hero could get him regular guest spots. Well, unless DC gives every tv show access to who they need as characters, and don't lie they already do.
