Good fallback Alex lol.

That explains it.
Yeah, further confirmed with that Hank line to Alex that was fantastic.

which one?
I'd rather see Harry try to tolerate an interview with Cat.

Harry Wells tolerating Cat Grant at all would be gold.

RIP in peace Astra.
They need to have pissed off Kara more often, Mellisa pulls that off so well. Sucks that might be all we ever see of Clark though hopefully they'll allow them to use him after BvS comes out like in the season finale or something. Also kind of hoping for a "drinking game" between Kara and Barry in the cross over. I'm pretty sure Cat would have the hots for Joe, makes me wish more cast could cross over. Hell, give Cisco some vibes on the following Flash episode.

I don't remember the exact line, but something like this:
"Alex, I've seen the way your sister looks at you. You are her hero. And I'm gonna make damn sure you stay that way."
The classic Berlanti family member death. Every season has one!
Great episode, wasn't expecting it be an Alex episode but it was a nice twist on old material and she really needed one.
Barry's visit is going to wreck Winn though. "On my Earth, we've got someone like you, except she's a cute blonde."

Not a fan of Astra's death was a cool scene but feels like a major waste.
She became a bit useless when it turned out that she was mostly listening to Non and that she doesn't really want to fight with either her husband or her niece, so she was in a bit of a limbo.
The AV Club was not a fan. They seem annoyed the episode doesn't delve deeper into Kara, while I'm happy that it was more about Alex.
They also mention, which I hadn't realized, this episode was originally written as a finale in case they didn't get the back 7 pick up.]
Oh and KELEX!

I think that criticism is completely valid. I don't know the original story it's based off of but the episode could've doubled down on it being either about one of the Danvers sisters or something. But since it's based off of an existing story I can see why they rather just go this way. And the fact it was written as a soft finale didn't help because it meant the VR trip to head-Krypton could only be so long since they wanted to squeeze in a fight sequence at the end. If it weren't the case I would've been totally fine if it just ended with Alex pulling Kara out and it was them spending more time in there, or something.
Good that it got a pick-up, I don't think it would have made a great season finale.

That was pretty weak as an adaptation. JLU still has it beat.

The music in this show makes me cringe
Yeah pretty much, I'm not a fan of this change.
The best part of this is that Clark gradually learns that something is wrong, that he's lived a full life on Krypton which makes it all the more emotional at the end when he has to say goodbye to his son.
edit: Spoke too soon.
Good episode but it felt like way too much was going on. Would have preferred this as a two parter.
That is more a casting issue probably.
You know this is easily my favorite of the series. Great development for Alex, especially. Emotions ran high and the stakes were there. Lots of threads here without feeling overwhelming or cluttered and intertwined well. It was a lot of fun to see Kara's friends (and Kryptonian enemies) all pitch in and join the fight in some way. We got great MM screen time as well. Even Hank can't handle Cat.
The climax of Kara's fantasy with Alex is a standout sequence.

Flashbacks probably.
abbrev. recap: SG dreams, wakes up on wrong side of bed; MM fetches drinks, cries.; AD deals with the devil, kicks doors, kills, wears tight pants; CG drinks milk.
I also thought Kara would fry that space plant. It would have been a great scene. Escpecially if it was so intense that everybody in room got sunburn. Oh, there goes my fanfiction brain again...

No, just that she was faking to get out of work.

Did they really nerf Martian Manhunter for this? Isn't he supposed to be as powerful as Superman, but with extra abilities?
Pretty much stronger than Superman but with a bigger achilles heel, does seem like they nerfed him.

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I didn't know if they already nerfed him for New 52. I remember, years ago, there was a time he went bad and got over his aversion to fire, and he fucked up the Justice League, no problem.

I think he has more powers, but not on the same level as a Kryptonian.
They haven't brought it up yet, but he's got a far more easily obtained weakness than Kryptonite.
And one other thing, I'm not sure what you are or where you come from. But my instincts tell me you're to be trusted. Make no mistake, I have a $70,000 sliver of a radioactive meteor to stop the one from Metropolis. All I need for you is a penny for a book of matches.

I hope the movies have that Batman. Or if Oliver does it in this show.
This was 13, cross-over is 18.
