Great episode! It had a little bit of everything: the Krypton hallucination and Astra's death played the part on the emotional aspect; Cat and Hank provided some comedy; and two big fights to finish with some action. Oh and mini Clark as an easter egg.
It was fun watching the DEO, Kara's friends and even Lord working together to save Supergirl. You could tell this was a possible season/series finale, but how great we'll have more!
"You're basically yanking her out of heaven. That's going to be slightly traumatic."
FANTASTIC episode, really. "I can't promise you a life without pain and loss, because pain is a part of life. It's what makes us who we are. It's what makes you a hero."
Astra needs to comeback somehow, it was just too soon! Also, it was great to see most of the cast working as team. One of my favorite episodes so far, without a doubt.
Melissa and Chyler especially killed it this ep.
Seems a real jolt to kill off Astra though. Such an interesting character and great actress gone and we're left with a generic over acting male villain. Ho hum!
So much good, and also so much meh. Still don't know why Hank inexplicably reverts to his human form at the strangest moments. Probably won't ever know.
Benoist was good playing Hank-as-Kara, but the way "he" was written didn't sound like Hank at all, really.
Some of these actors are good, and... others aren't. Melissa Benoist is a good one. Despite this show's plasticy style/witing she's learning how to make it sort of work.
This episode was kinda ok
Another good episode albeit a very crazy one. I wasn't too sure about the whole Hank assuming Kara's identity part for I just found it to be a weird part of the episode but in the other hand I can see how the episode benefited from this factor. Now, although I know she was a bad guy, I am sad to see Astra go as I really liked her character and I feel that it's a shame the show felt like they needed to get rid of her so soon.
Without even watching the episode I am intensely reminded of the episode in supernatural " What is and never could me " which is one of the best episodes of the show if I say so myself. high expectations.... supergirl
This was a crazy one...but I really enjoyed it! Can't wait to see where the show goes from here!

Still too many scenes of Mechad Brooks trying to act and going to work in V-necks. Yet Kara who looks professional at least still gets ripped a new one by Cat in this one.
The good; is Melissa Benoist's funny and intense performance in this episode. The funny parts is when Hank shape shifts into Kara and does her job. Benoist is great in that scene. She's also great when she is looking for vengeance towards the end.
