Honestly, the CW got their hands on this show and immediately fixed all it's problems. Thank you CW. Some decisions we questionable but understandable, but way to go!
Using the slaughter of the green martians as an alegory of the holocaust is a really interesting concept that I'd like to see develop even further. Comparing J'onn to a holocaust survivor is certainly in line with the personality of the character that we got to see on season 1. If Hollywood has proven something is that stories about holocaust survivors and WWII can be really poignant. I want to see a lot more of M'Gann as [spoiler] a kind of redeemed Nazi who rebelled against the concentration camps[spoiler]. This show always had a lot of potential to dive deep into issues of race, gender, immigration and discrimination, and so far it hasn't taken advantage of it. I really hope they play their cards well, because they've been dealt a pretty good hand
"We're the fourth estate, not Reddit!" ahahaha
Great season so far, love Kara as a reporter and her writing stories is really interesting, Monel or his correct name is great also. I’m liking it more than season 1 and can’t wait for invasion
I bet the girl green marshan is actually the white marshan that refused to kill, just my prediction.
Overall the show has been doing a good job of coming out with consistently great episodes and this was no exception. There was some great characterization in this episode between Hank Henshaw and the last remaining daughter of Mars. Can't wait to see how this pans out as the season progresses.
How well they do to Dichen Lachman these papers like the one they do here
oh my god CW DONT FUCK THIS UP YOU ARE MAKING AN EXCELLENT JOB

Geez, this episode was a rollercoaster. I have so many thoughts and I’m not sure if I can express all of them properly, but I’ll try.
First of all, Mon-El is not bad, but he’s not particularly interesting either. I really hope he and Kara will stay friends and nothing more. His scenes with Winn were pretty great, though. And hungover Winn is absolutely hilarious.
Something about Lena Luthor’s accent has been bothering me since the season premiere, and I finally got around to looking up Katie McGrath. She’s Irish, as it turns out. My ears weren’t deceiving me. By the way, is Lena evil? Does she know Kara is Supergirl? Something about their conversation and the way she stared after Kara seemed shady. Frankly, I don’t care if she’s one of the good guys or a villain. I’m fine with either.
Miss Martian is a White Martian! I’m having an aneurysm! I didn’t see that one coming at all. What an awesome plot twist. I really enjoyed the relationship between her and J’onn in this episode and I can’t wait to see what will happen when J’onn finds out who she really is.
"- I offered to merge with her in the Martian way.
- But you guys just met."
I literally had to pause the episode because I was laughing too hard. Oh, Kara.
Dichen Lachman is always a win. Dichen Lachman playing a villain in a red dress with sick tattoos? Double win. I hope we’ll see Roulette again at some point.
Alex „Fight Me” Danvers, the same Alex Danvers who throws herself at aliens twice her size without hesitation, stutters and gets flustered when a pretty girl compliments her. What an awkward baby gay. I love her so much.
Why did Maggie take Alex’s hand? Don’t tell me it was for the mission because there was no need for them to hold hands. I’m pretty sure the writers only threw that in to give me (and Alex) a heart attack.
Of course Maggie has a girlfriend who conveniently showed up when Alex was trying to ask Maggie out. I hate it when they do that. We all know that the girlfriend is just a plot device created for the sole purpose of keeping Alex pining for Maggie for a little longer. They did basically the same thing with Kara, James and Lucy last season, except Lucy ended up actually getting some character development and being relevant to the plot. I’m willing to bet it won’t be the case here.
Shoutout to Chyler Leigh for her phenomenal work. She did an amazing job of showing Alex’s inner turmoil, sadness and disappointment with just her facial expressions as she watched Maggie leave. It was stunning to watch.
