I believe this is where Supergirl and Saturn Girl argue in public.

 

[Dark Raven]

There were some set pics of that somewhere.

 

[flickchick85]

Praise be, I'm getting my wish:

The abominable make-up is gone.

Is that just because he has to blend in somewhere? I don't see them keeping him looking that way permanently.

He used to be in that show "No Tomorrow" as the ex boyfriend of the main actress. He always spoke in whispers.

 

[flickchick85]

I'm sure it's just to blend in somewhere, but they'll use it as much as they can to save time/money.

 

[vantheman77]

Brainiac 5 looking Human is likely blending in. I hope that when he goes back to his true form that he resembles the Brainiac from the Krypton TV series.

In the first season, Indigo had to look Human to blend in as well so this may be a trait for all Brainiacs.

 

[flickchick85]

I hope that when he goes back to his true form that he resembles the Brainiac from the Krypton TV series.

Yeah...that ain't happening.

Extended promo:



Yesss, looks like the cat's outta the bag to Supergirl about Sam/Reign in this one.

 

[Brierrose]

A thought just occurred to me with Pestilence and the sickness she's causing now would've been a really good time to call Eliza, the expert in astro-biology. Her skill set would've been especially useful against a plague of Kryptonian origin. I think I need an explanation, not that it's going to happen, of why when Alex is dying Kara doesn't think to call her. People complained that Superman didn't show up when Reign beat Kara up but where the heck was Eliza who would've surely heard about the fight on the news. At least with Eliza DC doesn't care.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, I mean, it's a bit far-fetched that she wouldn't be called if her daughter was dangerously ill anyway, but given the fact that this is EXACTLY her area of expertise, her absence will seem especially glaring if they don't address it.

 

[Brierrose]

Ok, I feel a little better about Eliza not being called because in newly released pictures of the next episode both Alex and Winn are fine. I can see Alex telling Kara that she doesn’t want to worry her mother and telling Kara not to call Eliza, and Kara reluctantly agreeing to do as Alex wishes.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Is an image inducer already in the 21st century? How does Winn already know this besides him being super smart?

 

[flickchick85]

I tune out during Winn's pseudo-science exposition dumps, so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

 

[NotNickFury]

You'd think Irma would just tell Kara that she doesn't need her permission when she chooses to follow a lead on her own. Not like Kara runs the DEO.

But I'm gonna make another prediction: by episode's end, Irma will realize that Kara's way of doing things was right. The writing on both this and The Flash when it comes to hero conflicts is that predictable.

 

[Primal Slayer]

This is fun seeing the two of them coming face to face. I think this is pretty much how they will take down Reign. This is also what they should've been doing with Caitlin over on The Flash.

 

[flickchick85]

You'd think Irma would just tell Kara that she doesn't need her permission when she chooses to follow a lead on her own. Not like Kara runs the DEO.

Even if she did, Imra doesn't work for the DEO, either.

I don't like how easily Lena came up with the "parallel dimension" explanation. That should've been a harder sell for her, imo. As far as I know, most people on this Earth don't know about the multi-verse, so "oh, it's just a parallel dimension!" SHOULD seem like quite a leap for a scientist, I would think.

Also, the doctor was clearly Pestilience.

 

[Primal Slayer]

When I get these kinds of scenes part of me really wants them to go the mile and just kill the character off so it has an impact before we go back to the status quo at the end of the episode. It reminds me of Angel when we lost Fred but gained Illyria. I want these kinds of scenes to be game changers.

 

[Primal Slayer]

But how do you know you are the ONLY one who knows how to fix this? That was such a weird line.

 

[flickchick85]

Weird that she thinks Supergirl would support "dissecting" Reign.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Weird that she thinks Supergirl would support "dissecting" Reign.

Right. She knows that Supergirl comes from a long dead race, one that can be feared. Why would she treat someone like that?

 

[NotNickFury]

Oh, so that was the end result of that cape training...

 

[Primal Slayer]

Can they heal one another?

Purity looks badass! One of the best costumes in this entire verse. Still hate that we have another screamer. Way to many.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Reign needs to ask for a refund because her sisters have some dope ass outfits while she got some granny spandex.

 

[flickchick85]

That last scene was awkward.

On another note, young Kara is on iZombie, apparently.
