Going all-in on the universe, love it.

They had better make Megan watch her favorite tv show like in another show that we all love! That would make her a better fit with our current crew.
Hello Megan!

I was thinking that her talk about the White Martian that broke rank was a bit on the nose, but I wasn't sure if they were going to go there. Interesting that they just went ahead and put it out there instead of letting it drag a bit longer.
I really think people need to temper their expectations with how much the DC TV shows are going to take cues from Young Justice. I don't think any of the producers have seen the show (well Geoff Johns, but he isn't around), they were all actively working from the 2000s on. That's why they tend to be nostalgic and referential toward The Flash (1990) than recent stuff like Smallville.
Thank Christ

You know Reverse Flash, you really are the worst ;_;
I know. Chances of it happening are slim to none.

I certainly didn't really expect them to come right out with it.

This show is going full Angel in its world building. It started last episode but this one really solidifies it. I really dig it. I'm also surprised they did the miss Martian reveal already. Figured they'd space it out some. Fun episode. Good casting of Roulette

Interesting bit of trivia:
In this series, Maggie works for the Science Police. Other notable members? Mon-El and Guardian.

Did they air Supergirl S1 episodes in the wrong order
I see Lucy Lane and James being fine in one ep and they're long broken up in the next

Finished episode 3 yesterday. I think I'm liking this season better than 1. Now with the bar and all, this show is reminding me of MIB. I didn't expect them to make Miss Martian black too. It adds an even deeper layer. A white martian that wants be green, but is also taking the appearance of another oppressed group, black women.

Acouple episodes had their order switched due to a bombing that weekend, and a bombing being a prominent point in one of the episodes.

Oh that would explain it
Also I already hate the entire Lane family based on this one episode of Sam and Lucy being shitlords

As someone unfamiliar with the comics, I had no idea what that twist was supposed to mean. I didn't
makes sense, though. I actually didn't think the story about the
was hinting at anything, but in hindsight, I totally should have seen that coming. Especially with
It all comes together now.
recognize the alien species. White Martian
White Martian who broke rank
Megan repeatedly saying that she becomes whatever she needs to to survive.
There was a White Martian in season 1.

Oh really? I guess I forgot that. I also missed a few episodes of the first season, and after looking up the plot that involved the White Martian, that could have been one of the episodes I missed.

I'm honestly having the same problem.

Like I said once the alien bar made it's debut, the show has gone full buffyverse.

Is this a problem or just a sneak peek into kirbyfan407's life?
Kidding. But I don't really have this problem wth the show either. As much as I'd love for a Mon-El and Winn romance, it seems clear to me that a Mon-El/Kara kiss will happen sooner rather than later. And Lena/Kara just seems poised for some kind of evil relationship where Lena misleads Kara and uses her or forces Kara to make a tough decision.
I really only see romance blossoming between Alex/Maggie (the most blatant) and Kara/Mon-El (not quite as blatant, but I think he looks the part and the scenes certainly aren't moving away from that).

Mon-El is 100 percent the Jimmy replacement in the romance department for Kara.
Show is gay as hell and needs to accept it asap
At least it's not like Arrow where a troubling amount of the sexual tension is between family members
This was a strong episode for the characters. Really liking that Mon-El and Supergirl, and Winn and Mon-El, and J'onn and M'gann get to just hang out and chat.
CG is looking really strong too.
I hope the Lena Luthor arc comes to a head in a big way later down the track.
Line of the episode goes to "It's gonna take more than a steel cage death match to get rid of me."

I still don't understand why they're calling him Mon El or why Kara has not commented on the name

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Maybe El is like, the Smith of Krypton.
But I imagine it's leading somewhere.

Mon El is what they want to brand the character is, and they don't want to confuse audiences with Lar Gand. Yeah it doesn't make sense, but whatever.
Wonder what his superhero name will be? Valor? He's close to (weak) Superboy's power set.
Extended Promo shows some interesting stuff.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
This episode was all over the place for me. I liked the main villain (Roulette) and the concept of an Alien Fight Club. But I don't think they sold it very well with Kara flying in and interrupting every fight we see. Diminished the stakes quite a bit. Cue "I need HIGH STEAKS!"
The subplot with Marian Manhunter and Miss Martian was classic CW love interest plotline in all the worst ways. Replace the psychic bond with CW SECRETS or any other multitude of generic mysterious pasts and we've seen this before. It's really disappointing that she's being played as an angsty reluctant love interest.
Mon-El is...okay, I guess. He's kinda generic too. He's an Alien Frat Boy, which they comment on in the episode. But for someone who literally should have no concept of Earth culture, I'm just not buying the portrayal. They're trying but it's a little half-baked (like Kara's stories hehe).
There were some awesome fight scenes. The effects they use for the Martians blows me away everytime. Looks wonderful for a tv budget. And their fight was genuinely badass. Even Kara got a chance to mix it up, using her X-ray vision to see that alien's weak knee and then slide kick into it. Perfection!

Has it been spelled on the show yet? Maybe they intend to use the M'Onel spelling?
Yes. It said Mon El on the monitoring screen when he was benchpressing at the DEO.
