Does the opening scene/save remind anyone else of the scene in the movie Hancock, where Will Smith's character does the classic superhero-esque save of Justin Bateman's character, by stopping the train, which in turn does some serious damage to the train; and everyone starts asking him, "why didn't you just move the car?"
Why didn't she just move the car? It's not like the semi was hurdling out of control and needed to be stopped; the car swerved to avoid the pedestrian, considering the wight, size and momentum of a semi, was it really that much easier to grind it to a halt, probably damaging the semi, rather than scooping up the car? They still could have milked the drama, but I guess they couldn't spring for the special effect. I hope insurance companies at this point have started offering act of Kryptonians coverage.
Is it realistic for Alex and Kelly been together for months without Alex at least knowing Kelly carries an epi pen, much less knowing why or that Kelly has a serious food allergy?
What's going on with all the couples doing special breakfasts on the same day? This isn't some of that "Sweetest Day" bullshit, is it? That was about a week or two ago....
James' post CatCo editor career options are running for the senate and a cushy job at the Smithsonian? I find myself going back and forth whether these options are outlandish for the character or actually make sense. On the one hand, James is supposed to have a fair amount of recognition for his work as a photojournalist even before he came to CatCo. But on the other he's basically a neckerchief away from being the Fred of this Scooby Doo dang; and has at least as much public notoriety as a masked vigilante....
"He said he was my brother. At first I didn't believe him, but now I know it must be true."
"How do you know?"
So did Brainiac basically reveal that we're presently "sometime in the late dark ages"?
Wait, "Hope" is incapable hurting someone, because it goes against its "prime directive"? A)Keep my Star Trek out of your DC; and B) Didn't Hope offer to help Lena kill Kara in the previous episode?
They're really doubling down on making this new CatCo boss unlikable. I mean, Christ, you're just going to reassign Kara, your Pulitzer winning journalist, to fucking fashion?? Elitist? Fuck you lady. James already walked for less, Kara sure as hell better be following suit before long, because there's only so much of someone's assholery a person can swallow; and I realize those are a poor choice of words and I don't care.
So I'm curious, if Kara didn't do the assignment and got fired, would that still trigger her no-compete clause? I suppose there'd probably some type of word to prevent an obvious loophole like that. Even still, considering how James is fairing, there has to be something better out there.
They better not try to flip it around and try to have it turn out that this new boss woman secretly has a heart of gold that we're supposed to sympathize with, because there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen. And no, I have no interest in learning her name; it's bad enough I learned Kelly's
So Terrible-Boss owns a company that has developed technology that allows them to mind meld with Martians using contact lenses?
Ugh, seriously, the kiss ass at CatCo is going to find out Kara's identity, isn't he? It's going to be really stupid if he does, because Supergirl and Superman should be better at, you know, not being easily surveilled...
Wait, wiping a person's mind is the greatest sin in Martian Culture? Wasn't that an entire plot line of J'Onn doing exactly that last year? Admittedly they were willing, or at least most of them were; I feel like he's wiped a few minds of people who didn't volunteer, but maybe I'm wrong on that.
Awe, and here I was hoping Kiss Ass Dude was going to get eaten by a white-martian.
Oh, Terrible Boss' name is Andrea.... Hurray. I'm probably not going to remember that.
Way to poke the bear, berating a Luthor. That seems wise. Here's hoping Lena tosses you into the sun.
Oh, Christ, "Idiot Jed" is back - just when they finally managed to make Brainy interesting at the end of last season. Come on Brainy, how can you be so "smart" and not comprehend the amount of food a single person can consume in a day?
Augh, they're not going to hook up Kara with the Kiss Ass, are they? Please don't. I'd rather she end up with...well, Lena, but I mean, anyone but this douche bag.
I see it now, Alex is going to figure out this isn't Kelly when J'Onn's brother doesn't know to be allergic to blueberries.
Well, that took all of three seconds.
Didn't J'Onn's brother come in through Alex's window? Why did Kara come through the front door?
It was awfully nice of J'Onn's brother not to kill Alex, but rather tuck her away safely in a closet. Was that supposed to be subtext?
Jesus tap dancing Christ, the whole "It's me, I'm the real one," "No I'm the real one"? Shoot them both, it's a win-win.
Ah, Kiss Ass' name is William.
Kelly's allergic to...cats............I'm not going there......
Alex could tell the shapeshift wasn't really Kelly the way "it" touched her hand? Get out of here with that bullshit. I thought it had something to do with the ring Not-Kelly was wearing.
It's appropriate that I was just reminded of the "Dobler/Dahmer Theory" from How I Met Your Mother - Brainy's walking a fine line between the two in this episode...
You know, this cover of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" essentially works during virtually all of the scenes they show while it's play, arguably because those scenes involve women at different places in their relationships - so the shot of J'Onn meditating, especially as the refrain is being sung, seems like a real outlier in this montage; because he's clearly not a girl and I don't think he's all that interested in fun at the moment...
Was Nia supposed to look distressed as she turned away from Brainy in bed; or just annoyed? Because it came off as more the former, which doesn't really fit with how her previous scene with Brainy ended; so I'm assuming she was just supposed to be annoyed that Brainiac was still quoting poetry to her.
So Billy volunteers at a shelter. That's nice. Still don't want him hooking up with Kara.
Augh, what the hell are they doing with Lena.....
