That look on Kara's face when she woke up. Hot damn. Really wouldn't ever want to be on her bad side.
You know to them, we're Earth-3?

Dang they realized the piccolo connection
To make it more complicated, to them, it is more like Earth-2. Earth-2 would be Earth-3. Unless of course they find Earth-4 first in which case that becomes their Earth-3 and Earth-2 is actually Earth-4.

While I was hoping that she'd have a more difficult time in her dream, I still liked the episode and I didn't mind the focus on Alex. The look on Kara's face when she woke up was really something and Henkshaw covering for Alex is definitely going to blow up in their faces. I just thought that involving Maxwell into this mess was a bit unnecessary. Why wouldn't they have a top scientist in the DEO?
Anyway, the only part that made me shout "fuck you, tv show!" was at the end, when Winn was all like "yeah, we're just friends". That was as subtle as a punch in the face.

Mixed episode. I think a lot of it worked really well but the last 10 minutes were a mess.
Why kill Astra already? You've just established her as a fairly interesting character and antogonist only to to kill her in a scene that mainly just illustrated J'onn and Alex as being reactive assholes. Plus Non is such a non-entity (durrrr) that trading Astra in for him as the leading opposition isn't exactly inspiring anything.
also lol @ the happy ending after what they all went through.
Cat, Kara and J'onn still mostly remain the absolute best though.

It is to have some 'wham' element, nothing more. And we'll have to be scared of Myriad, not Non himself.

MM shoulda just morphed into a bloat faced, snot nosed, swelled Kara and texted a picture with the words "I'm fucking ill".
I was expecting him to mutate into something great when he about to die, show fails again. Beginning to wonder if he ever gonna do that.

I was sort of hoping that Astra and Non were still pawns in this battle. But his speech about how humanity is a virus that needs to be eradicated to save the planet. yawn
I still think they are pawns, for someone more powerful coming to Earth using Myriad. I assume that is why they had to take out the sattelites so DEO couldn't see it.
She should have turned good. Gotten killed by Non for that reason.
Overall an okay episode, not as good as the Justice League version (but I wasn't expecting it to be).
I thought it kinda showed the weakness of not allowing Superman to be on the show. With Supergirl being out of commission and an attack coming you would think they would of called up Superman (yeah I know there was a solar storm that was impacting communications but I imagine land line phones still worked).
I did really like the Martian Manhunter taking Kara's place at work though. That was pretty funny, I wish they had more of that in the episode.

That's certainly been an issue with the show pretty much since the pilot with Superman being around, it's hard to believe Superman doesn't show up when there's some big global crisis that for some reason he's leaving to his inexperienced cousin and J'onn. I've been giving it a pass but the more they keep pushing into some global threat the harder it's becoming to accept. It also doesn't help that they made Maxwell Lord a Lex Luthor analogue (yes, I know Lord has been a businessman too) that is so painfully obvious he's pretty much a discount version of Lex but with an actor who doesn't have the gravitas or... Swag to really carry it, he's just comes off as a smarmy dick. A hero is only as good as their villain and Supergirl currently doesn't have a good reoccurring villain.
There's 7 episodes left in the season... we're probably going to have to ride the
I'm familiar with Max Lord so I don't see the Lex thing too much, but I'm sure it what jumps to mind for most viewers.
It makes sense in her fantasy world. She wants to hold her little cousin that she needed to protect.
It also makes sense since he was never her "little cousin"
It is weird that she is technically older than he is, but kind of role-reversed due to her getting to Earth later
When you think about it too much, you realize the hallucination was actually 24 years ago in the past.

Well, yes, the hallucination lines up to her present physical age - as if Krypton never exploded. Not much to think about.
How many people realized it though?

And let's hope that next year we get the ultimate mega crossover of Supergirl, Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow in one week.
That would be amazing. I wonder how it would affect the ratings for The CW.

They would find a way.

I'm catching up on The Girl Who Has Everything, and it's hilarious that Lord created an inception helmet like no big deal.
You mainly need to bank on the Canadian team to do four instead of three episodes. You'd only need to transport Hank, Alex and Kara. If The Big Bang runs in the timeslot of Supergirl again next year, there should be a period at the start of the season where they could.

Supergirl brings the feels again.
And Melissa Benoist has the best "suppressed rage" face I've ever seen.

Malcolm or Slade melting Cat's panties would be the best.

Is that the character Vandervoort is playing? They better not waste her, she was one of the best parts of Smallville.
I wonder if this 'Myriad' thing is related to her. Considering they were fucking around with satellites and computers, and she's a living super computer.

Damn
Cool, I want to see how they handle it.
It is quite CG intensive and past movies didn't always do it great
Uh, why is Gamespot reporting about this? Are they in trouble?
They are mainly a gamingsite.
Same reason IGN does. There is an important overlap between this type of movies and games, so why have people go somewhere else?

I hate to break it to you strafer, but Gamespot's not looking good. It's terminal. The editors will try their best, but anything they do now will be simply... buying time. I'm so sorry.
That is normal; the game industry is dying as well.

Comicvine got folded into Gamespot.
Best moment was him calling out James on his crush behaviour.

It was announced months ago. This is the first in-person look at it, though.
Anyway, I've been searching for Supergirl merchandise from Toy Fair. All I've found is some Funko stuff based on the comics.
There were listings popping up last month for a Mattel DC Multiverse 6" TV Supergirl figure, but I haven't seen anything official yet.
