Sorry if this has been discussed, but I was wondering something during the episode last night. Where did all of the new aliens come from? I don't mean what planets. I mean where have they been and why are we only now hearing about them?
Before, the only aliens who anyone seemed aware of were Superman, Supergirl, and Martian Manhunter. There was the White Martian last year and obviously the Fort Rozz escapees, too. If the only other aliens were known criminals condemned to one of Krypton's harshest sentences, then why wouldn't there be more resistance to the law? Why the sudden influx of aliens (good ones, ordinary ones)?
It seems abrupt, but then no one treats it that way. They have a whole underground system set up, or at least a bar and a hang out, which has been around long enough for Maggie Sawyer to be aware of it and to date one of the aliens there. Introducing legislation, which would be controversial, would usually take awhile to pass and be signed off on. Yet, it doesn't seem suspicious that the matter is all of a sudden a public priority and signed into law? Why would these aliens all come to Earth? Why didn't they do anything during the mind control crisis in last year's finale?
Did anyone else feel it was odd or jarring?
