It's weird, because when he was first introduced, he was amnesiac. Superman gave him a name thinking he was Kryptonian, hence Mon-El.

His real in-comic name is Lar Gand. But they're either ignoring that completely on Supergirl, or he's evil. I doubt they'd make him evil though. He's a solid backdoor into Legion of Super-Heroes if Legends of Tomorrow dies.

Yeah, I thought it was weird how he just came out with "My name is Mon-el." They could have had him escaping because he had amnesia and was confused. I wonder if he's lying and will be partially responsible for whatever happens to start the big crossover.

Amazing how I missed the episode despite being in the USA. Was it still good despite no Supes and no Cat?

The Daxamites were allies of the Dominators in the miniseries that the crossover is based on, so it's possible.

Who knew Kara is kinda racist.

"I flew here... on a bus' lmaoo seriously Kara?

Yes. Though Cat is still sorely missed.

I liked it more than last week. Villains are still goofy as heck but the rest of the episode was solid, good messages all around without feeling like an After School Special.

Stingers still suck.

 

[Finaika]

I can´t stand Alex. Hope she dies at some point.

Holy shit!

 

[Skux]

Cool episode. Now that Superman is gone it's time to get into the main arcs of the season.

Things got wacky with that dive bar, very Star Wars cantina. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that most aliens look like ridiculously good looking twenty-somethings.

J'onn looks freaking awesome in alien form.

 

[Dominican Power]

When did aliens become so prevalent on earth? Did this happen during S1?

 

[Volimar]

Alex was definitely watching Maggie walk away. We got a new OTP.

When did aliens become so prevalent on earth? Did this happen during S1?

Nah they've always been here more or less. Like they said, they can pass for human and blend in. What did happen in season 1 was an alien prison ship crashed and all the alien criminals escaped, roughly around the time Karas pod landed.

 

[Joni]

Damn, should have been a bad one to make it hurt less.

 

[TheOMan]

If I'm getting this right, his name is technically Lar Gand, but because of how the character was introduced in the comics (mistake for a Kryptonian, joins Superman), he was nicknamed Mon-El. So while he's not actually part of the House of El and a different race, the name stuck anyway and what he's generally known as.

This is pretty much right, but they screwed up his introduction. Superman gives him the name Mon-El when Lar Gand is an amnesiac. As soon as he said his name was Mon-El, Kara should have assumed that they may be related.

This still doesn't explain the Kryptonian pod though.

Looks fun. This season has been alot better about presenting some consistently interesting scenarios. Instead of "Yeah, Astra is off doing... something. And there's Non... who also wants to do... something."

Bring back non. Best villain ever.

I have hard time telling sarcasm on the net. Honestly besides Astra and maybe Lord, i don't remember having decent villains though i wasn't a big fan of supergirl and was only half paying attention.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Great episode imo. I really enjoyed it.

Can;t wait for more Supes though

Great since we have a Wonder Woman *fingers crossed*. All we need is Canary and Hawk girl. On second thought never mind we would have CW's not JLUs

Silver Banshee, and the electric girl.

You mean Livewire. I guess they are cool better than indigo and Non

Yeah, they even had Kara specifically ask him about it and mention that it was Kryptonian, to which he never gives an answer. I have a feeling they're saving it for later and didn't just forget.

What are the chances we are getting The Legion Of Superheroes through Mon-El

Given Geoff Johns, almost 100 percent. He loves them.

Given CW? Unsure. They may not want another series to take the Friday slot. I'd give it a wait and see on how Legends of Tomorrow continues to perform this season.

I meant mostly as an appearance in Supergirl. I doubt we are going to have a Legion show considering not only they would the powers would be strain on the budget. It would also be set in the future with aliens running around.

Yeah, I'm we'll get a taste on either Supergirl or Legends in the next season, as a counterpoint to the JSA in this season.

I meant moreso in the thread, Zero was the only one to make it, I saw lol.

So is it me or are they turning supergirl's sister, alex into a lesbian now?

No, we have been thinking that for months. It is how she managed to stay away from maxwell lord.

Holy shit!

What? She is a shitty character whom seems to be immune to anything including getting hit with fireballs. I can´t stand her.

I was going to say it but this Megan doesn't seem to be fun. 😔

If it wasn't for the main heroine being almost invincible (and straight) this might bring the show dangerously close to the "strong women can't be straight" trope, if they really go through with it.

At least with berlanti we can hope that it is done nicely.

The character isn't a teenage girl this time, she's been "aged up" with an actress in her 40s to be a likely love interest for Harewood's J'onn. =\

Cat Grant, Lucy Lane, Astra, Livewire, Silver Banshee kinda say otherwise

SHE'S IN HER 40'S?!?!?!!?!?


She sure doesn't look it.

Also, that's Killing Joke Bruce and Barbara levels of creepy.

Was she straight before?

There were sparks with Lord, but I don't remember her dating anyone.

 

[Joni]

People can still be bi so it doesn't have to be a problem.

 

[Septimus Prime]

I still think Lord is conspicuously absent. At least talk about him leaving or something.

Also conspicuously absent: Superman. Please come back!

 

[MHWilliams]

She literally mentioned in the second episode of this season that she's never really had time to date because she was busy taking care of Kara.
