Ugh James. No. Please stop.
In other news, powerful stuff from the rest of the cast and characters. Just a shame it's bookmarked by this Lames nonsense
Please, PLEASE, someone agree with me that Mon-El really WAS NOT as bad as Kara, the writers and the fandom makes him out to be. I really don't think he was a jerk at all. He was knew to the world and did not know any better, and right off the bat Kara wanted to make him something or someone he was not ready to be. And when confronted he tried to be better. There was never a malicious bone in his body. I'm tired of having to hear him agree with the awful things that's being said about him.
Other than that, this really was a good and an emotional episode. I enjoyed every part of it, might've even shed a tear or two. incredible actors, all of them. Best show in the Arrowverse right now.
this episode is one of my favourites this season, it had a great mixture of emotion and fight and also moved the story along.
What a great episode! So emotionally charged on all fronts.
Odette Annable was stellar. Her reaction when she realized that she really is Reign broke me. She was so horrified. And Katie McGrath did an awesome job too with Lena using some of that trademark Luthor darkness to provoke Reign.
J'onn and his dad made me so emotional. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to feel like your mind is betraying you and you can't control your life anymore.
I can't believe they finally acknowledged what a piece of trash Mon-El was in season 2. I'm so happy that Kara got to call him out. He's like 1000 times more tolerable now, partly because he's actually changed and partly because he doesn't take up half of every episode anymore. It's a lot easier to put up with him now.
I can't wait for Pestilence. Bring it on!
"Can we talk about it" is a phrase that I'm sick of hearing in these CW/DC shows.
Wow, my opinion is really different than everyone else’ . They tried to create this really emotional narrative around a character that has only been in like 3 episodes and I don’t care about. To top it off really bad fighting, so whatever.
I'm so glad we got to see a lot more of Lena and Sam than the previous episode. Overall this was great.
31st Century and still shitty graphics... come on
The writers have had to see bullfights to occur to them about the layers they had never made. It is difficult to recognize that time passes and you can no longer do what you did before
J'onn's dad has quickly become one of my favourites, he's so sweet and adorable... and powerful as heck - Sir gets allllll the respect.
Their storyline feels particularly personal on a few levels. It's a bittersweet feeling to be able to identify with their hardships, but it is ultimately a positive thing to see the reflection. Also, David Harewood (J'onn) made me cry again. The man can ACT!
What a really good episode it was.
Finally Kara talk about how toxic was Mon-El in S2, that was necesary bc he is apparently a diferent person now but all we know how he really was and all the time they show us like if Kara didn't figure it out.
Wonderful job of Lena with Sam and even when I still don't get that Lena-James relationship, he was useful for the situation.
So Cape fight right? Kinda ridiculous though. I wonder why people here write so much bout one Episode, analyze or even write so much at all. Im just too lazy for that.

This is undoubtedly one of my favourite episodes this season. It made me really emotional at several scenes. And I swear it takes a lot to move me.
The episode had the perfect mix of fun and emotional scenes. Everyone was great tonight. My only complaint is about James, who apparently is stuck at being someone's love interest. And what happened with CatCo? I mean, does he even work? Does CatCo still exist?
The Lena-Sam stuff was great. After last episode's cliffhanger I worried something weird was going on in Lena's head. But then again, the writers keep toying with us making us think Lena is gonna go full Luthor one day. Sam's reaction when she realized she was indeed Reign made me lose it. I was really feeling for her. And even though I don't like Ruby, her phone call was heartbreaking. The same when Sam told Lena not to tell her where Ruby is.i can only imagine how difficult that is to a mother. Odette Annable is wonderful in her role. I don't ever want to see her go.
I'm glad that other DEO agents are given screen time. When Winn said "Pam from HR" I lost it again. That got a giggle out of me. I really need a backstory of what happened between these two, lol. Also, that fight was brilliant. Really love it. I hope the rest of the episodes are as action-packed as this one.
Cape tricks were so cool. Man, I'm glad they introduced them. They're dope. Also, Mon-El should make copies for that ring for everyone and share his future knowledge, cause it'll save a lot of lives.
I enjoyed the scene when Kara let everything out. That was powerful. It's weird that it took a Martian psychic attack for her to realize all the mistakes Mon-El made in the past, but I'm glad it got addressed because as Kara said, people tend to romanticize that stuff and thinking about it as if it were love when Mom-El was being nothing but a self-righteous jackass who did what he want without respecting Kara. So I'm glad that got out of the way and that she realized it. I also loved that Mon-El himself realized the jerk he was and seeing him tear up was great. I hope they can move on now, with no drama. Also, I loved his suit.
Carl Lumbly is exceptional. The fact that he has no idea about how to be a human makes me laugh so hard. Every scene he's in is automatically better. His relationship with J'onn is lovely and I hope he never leaves. The fact that he's losing his memory hit me even harder than last episode. Can these two just have a happy ending? 'Cause they deserve it.
The day Chyler Leight doesn't make me emotional, I'm gonna assume I'm dead. That scene when Kara and Alex were comforting J'onn was outstanding. One of the highlights this episode. I love that he's a father figure to them and I love seeing that family environment they've created.
