So Horrible Boss is Shade? The Shadow? Misty Swirls? I'm going to go with Misty Swirls. Sure, it sounds like a stripper name, but.....
How Andrea (?) a member of this super duper secret organization, that she's the moment she's in a tight position she goes to blab to just any older insider? How are the members recruited or vetted?
"Ah, you found our decoder ring a box of Froot Loops, here's your gun and code name. We're going to need you to covertly assassinate a duke, and oh, by the by, try not to tell anyone about us."
"I don't want to kill him, I want to save him."
'You've worked for her before'? I mean, I know it's splitting hairs, but arguably Lena's worked with Supergirl, rather than for her; unless you're thinking of the summer that Lena lost her money and Kara decided to try her hand as a lawyer and decided to hire Lena to assist her in the office. Kara, however, seems to be irritated by the slightest mistake Lena makes, until Lena eventually realizes that Kara is actually getting turned on by Lena's obedience; and over the next several weeks they explore a BDSM relationship, until one day Lena wins the lotto and buys back her company and Kara decides to return to CatCo.
And I know what you're thinking, did he just suggest that Lena and Kara enacted the plot of 50 Shade of Gray? And the answer, is no. In fact, I was suggesting they were enacting the plot of the 2002 movie, Secretary, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal as the submissive, titular secretary; and James Spader as the dominant boss, who incidentally was named E. Edward Grey. So, you know, completely different.
Ah, a nostalgic flashback to a college encounter between two beautiful college girls; which was a memory apparently sparked by a bottle of booze. I think I've seen this movie before; and that one also starred someone going by the name Misty Swirls....
Honestly, in a show where people can fly and shoot lasers our of their fucking eyes, I think perhaps the least believable thing this show is trying to present to us is the idea that Lena fucking Luther was a wallflower in college or really at any point in her life. I mean, she may not have known she was a real Luther yet, and sure her mom treated her like shit; while Lex seemed to simultaneously be protective of her (I think) and belittle her (I think) - which is to say that seriously muddled whatever past Lex and Lena had together before he was finally outed as a murderer and all the other stuff. But what I'm getting at is, it seems unlikely that Lena wouldn't at least have friends in school or any of the other more outgoing traits we've seen her have in the present; and that somehow this random woman she's never mentioned before is ostensibly the person who made Lena the person she is today - but I guess that's where the booze comes in....
Oh, instead they're going to make this some sort of random fucking mystical quest; and this rich girl that's dropped out of the clear blue sky and known Lena for five minute is all in on finding this... whatever this is. And based on their apparent obsession with Titanic, I assume one of them is going to die after they find this whatchamacallit; and the other will wait 70 years then drop it into the sea.
Really, this is the episode they're going to use Jon Cryer in? Don't get me wrong, I know he's not like, Calista Flockhart or something, that they would only put in certain episodes, but seeing how sporadic they used him last season; and the lengths they went to have Lex involved, but unseen, this either means this episode is going to be wildly more important or a tremendous waste of the use of Lex Luther that will probably result in him being conspicuously absent in a future episode he should definitely be physically present for.
What could Andrea's father be "doing again" that involves his life insurance policy? Surely she doesn't mean killing himself for the insurance money, because he couldn't have done before, presumably.
Wait, are they suggesting Kryptonite crashed to earth "millions of years ago"? How would be fucking possible? Kryptonite is supposed to be remnants from when Krypton exploded, which definitely didn't occur millions of years ago; the fact that Kara's mother is still alive is, presumably, at least one clear indication of this. That or Allura looks really good for her age.
"What would Rose Dawnson do?"
Hog a floating door, leaving her the supposed love of her life to die of hypothermia in the Atlantic Ocean?
#ThereWasRoom #NeverForget
That's some impeccable timing, for Lena to read her book at just the right moment in the whole wide jungle, so that she follows the instructions to look down and find exactly what she needed to find to help them on their way....
Those were apparently load bearing flowers.
"This is very real, I assure you."
I mean, isn't that exactly what a psychedelic hallucination would tell you?
Since Lena was looking for...whatever... to stop Lex from finding....whatever, shouldn't Lena wonder if Lex had gotten there first?
So Kord Industries of Earth 38 is our Samsung?
Why would you overtly wear a medallion you don't want your friend to know you have; even if it's unlikely you'll run into her? Not to mention the odds aren't terrible she'd be there, seeing as you run in the same circles. Keep your mystical talismans in your handbag, like the rest of us.
Is this the reason for Lena's beef with Kara not telling her the truth about who she is? Because these seem like wildly different sorts of lies. I get that Lex and their mother also lied to Lena, but I get the feeling this is going to be meant as the real motivation for her grudge.
And boy, did Lena need that medallion; her life would have been so much better the last couple of years. Instead she's worked hard rehabilitating her family name and business, making more friends than she's apparently ever had before - if only she had a lucky charm....
Hey, it's Not-Ock before he became Not-Ock. Why are you so nosy about whether this woman you don't is drinking her drink or not? I know, I know, it's his way of hitting on her, but seriously, mind your own damn business. For all you know she's a recovering alcoholic at a crossroads in her 10 year sobriety after her husband Jonathan left with their four kids, on account of the fact she's far too obsessed with Top Chef. You don't know.
Okay, I figured I'd wait a bit before comment on this; and now that I'm half way through the episode - didn't last week's preview suggest this was going to be an Alex episode? They showed Alex at the DEO and everyone but her was inceptioned and she's freaking out trying to figure out to do....
This is the most boring and uneventful villain origin story since Grimace tried to kill a bunch of people....
Holly shit, apparently my Froot Loops recruitment scenario wasn't that far off. Apparently I'm on the same wavelength as the writers and I'm not okay with that.
"Take the medalion, tap it three times. You'll know what to do."
This sounds an awful lot like the message Scott Calvin found inside the Santa Suite in the Santa Clause.
Is Santa an assassin? What exactly happens to the people on the naughty list??
Are they actually showing us an unseen backstory of Lena and Kara becoming friends? Has it been some sort of mystery that viewers never quite understood this time; and now people at home are going, "Oh, that's how it happened! It all makes sense now..."
Jesus Christ, all of this shit because of a fucking magical medallion, that for all Lena ever knew was just a myth? Fuck you.
The medallion was the only thing that could stop Lex? What? I mean, he was stopped without it just fine. Sure, he probably killed a bunch more people that he may or may not have been able to if Lena had gotten the medallion and used it the way she wanted to. But are they honestly suggesting that Lena's great plan for "stopping Lex" was fucking magic?
(sigh)
They had the means of removing this guy's Borg implants this whole time and they're just fucking mentioning it now
So what, Alex is in the one place in the entire DEO shielded from psychic attack?
They really made it seem like the premise of the DEO being incepted to be the main story of this episode; and it's literally the last 10 minutes of the episode. Which means that they knew how much of a turd this episode was and had to hunt down what could pass as the most interesting part of the episode; and it seems the preview encompasses the entirety of that footage.
Man, I know Alex is supposed to be a bad ass, but damn, Brainiac 5 is a lightweight.
So Lena's plan was foiled because she forgot Kara has super hearing?
Jesus Christ, Lena has worse mommy issues than Bruce Wayne.
