I imagine this is what Snapper would be if they ever aged him up in the comics. The last time i read anything with him in it was 52 Aftermath, and he's got the right amount sarcasm and dickishness going for him here

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I think they've got that character in a good place. Instead of being a work foil that Kara proves wrong, he's genuinely making her a better journalist. I guess the only problem is that I can't see them ever connecting on a person level. Which is fine for his character, but I wonder where Kara is going to get her life advice from. Hopefully not the holograph of her mom...
Poor Jimmy about to get replaced with that Alien Dick w/ the alien dick.
Dumping Jimmy is the best thing they did.

We now have a proven pattern for CW shows in regards to established love interests.
Flash Season 2: Bye Iris, Hello Patty
Supergirl Season 2: Bye Jimmy, Hello Alien Fratboy
Arrow Season 2: Bye Laurel, Hello Every Straight Woman in Starling City
Jimmy does feel superfluous at this point. Actually, Kara's personal life in general seems to have been squashed. I guess there isn't time. Catco Kara gets journalism lessons from Snapper, DEO Kara has aliens to punch, Winn has DEO computer magic to do, Alex has her own subplot, and Martian Manhunter is getting dating tips.

Is Max Lord off the show too?
And every time it was for the better.
It looks like it. It is strange because he did promo for season 2, so he might do some small appearances once he has time.

Aren't daxamites critically allergic to lead or something? I'm assuming they might want to avoid this.

In the comics, they're basically Kryptonians but with a weakness to lead instead of Kryptonite.
Here, it looks like he has first appearance Superman / early Season 1 Smallville powers.
Keep him off the show long enough for people to not care about his old characterization or forget it.
Allows to character reboot better
I agree - he was really useless in S1.
Dont know how they could improve him though...he has no powers lol. Is the Kara x James thing something that happens in the comic too ?
No. Not that they have shown any inclination toward sticking to 'canon' couples that do not work.
Kara is more often than not paired with Braniac 5.
Yikes...yeah i dont think James can be redeemed - thought he had some kind of plot shield going on so they would have to make him relevant again. Dont think that will be necessary.
Looks to me like they intend to do a full scale re-tooling. This is a good idea.

Between this episode and this extended preview, I'm going to call him Bro-El from now on.
And Jimmy will obviously be brought into
Cadmus or the Science Police

Eh... if anything, that was more like Wynn and Kara's relationship if I remember correctly.

Pretty much, yeah. She ended up with Braniac 5 later on in JLU, anyway.
They will break up in a couple of episodes or so.
I'm just sort of relaxing and letting it wash over me

This show really does have too many characters sometimes. What happened to Faran Tahir's character in the pilot? He showed up that once then never again.
Non or Astra killed him offscreen.

I see that my boy Jimmy is gonna get some representation in the coming weeks
He's like the Papa flash of the Supergirl. He adds nothing of value but instead makes the show less appealing.
You must be talking about Barry's dad and not Joe cuz Joe is amazing.
StarCreator
Member
Is that actually established? I can't tell if this is a serious reply. lol
He was working for Astra, so it is that or he is a recasted Non.
You what, m8?
You talking about Joe? Because if so, you need to leave.
If you are talking about Barry's actual dad, then yes, he was pointless most of the time.
Joe is a bit too on the nose nowadays. After three seasons, Barry shouldn't need that much assistance.
have you seen Barry.
Yes. Which is proof how bad a teacher Joe is.
Nah. If Iris is any indication, Joe is just fine. Barry is the problem.
Nah Joe is just fine considering all the family Drama he had to handle the last 2 seasons.
She wasn't even worse off when she didn't talk to him for three months. And wally isn't exactly a troubled youth.
I also miss that DEO chick from season 1 who was just always there when she was needed but never had her own plot. Gotta get some of those background characters back dammit.
She has infiltrated shield.
StarCreator
Member
Yep. She's apparently an LA-based extra, since SHIELD is still filmed there and she promptly ended up in there prominently.

Kara is such a jobber. That scene where she was suspended in air when she confronted Roulette looked really bad lol
