When the president asked Kara to reveal her identity, and with the upcoming crossover, all I could think about was this:
"My name is oliver Allen and I am a refugee on this planet. For five years, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. I was sent to earth with only one goal: run. I had to protect my cousin and my father went to prison. I his who I really was, until one day when an accident made me the impossible. To most people I can't be the killer I once was, but in secret I work with a team of misfits and outcasts to fulfill my father's dying wish. To hunt down the man who killed my timeline, I must become someone else. I must become soemthing else. So don't call us aliens. We're Legends"
I'm a little sad they've made Captain Sheridan such a Presidential worm.
Manchester might be the biggest star of this season. The actor has been nothing but brilliant so far. His character adapted for this certainly political season is also one to root for, as there should be no gray areas or discussions in the matters of racism or similar forms of discrimination.
Season 4 is awesome so far! I hope the writers keep this up.
Very nice episode. The realistic and complicated reactions to the capture of Ben Lockwood is something that we can identify with in a real world situation similar to this. Messy world lol
I hate this new president. He seems like he is bigoted against aliens. And too concerned with his polling numbers, when he is supposed to be concerned with the good of the people. He is too selfish to be a good president. Lynda Carter was way better and fairer for all citizens alien and human alike.
Can't wait for the Arrowverse next week! Post credit scene looked promising

Kara is better off without those incompetents. Are you seriously trying to say that she has to publicly acknowledge who she really is? And you are the ones supposed to protect everyone? Are you kidding me? Also, since Kara has to confess her identity, does the DEO publicly release the names of every single Glenn agent working for them? Even if she now has to reveal her identity by what Lockwood said, he himself didn't reveal it by choice. She doesn't really need the DEO. She's got nothing to lose. But the same can't be said about the DEO. Supergirl is their best defender and how are they going to react or counter attack someone like Reign? Beg to Supergirl to please save them? That President is an asshat.
I'm also a bit confused by the whole "reveal your identity" stuff. Tonight's episode made it seem like no one in the DEO knows Supergirl's Kara. But I recall a couple of scenes when she walks into the DEO dressed as Kara. So, do these people know who she is, or do they just think she's just a random agent?
I loved seeing Nia, Brainy and Kara working together. Also, why isn't Brainy used to his whole potential? They remind us every ten seconds that he's a twelfth level intellect, yet he dramatically fails at showing it. These three are going to be the death of me. They're a bit like the scooby gang. Solving their little mysteries by themselves.
One of my favourite scenes was the one with Manchester Black and Ben Lockwood when the former entered the house and confronted Ben by threatening his wife. I wish these two could share more scenes. Their acting was on point.
Kara's "I'm not struggling. I'm flying" was so badass.
Now, let's get to that sweet ending. It caught me by surprise. And the references...Man, I'm gonna explode of happiness. Earth-90. 90s Flash. Get it? Jeez. This is gonna be wild. And did I see Smalville's Green Arrow suit? And Captain Cold's, Star Girl, Firestorm, Hawk mask and, Ray's, I think. And then freaking Monitor! I'm hyperventilating. I can't wait for Sunday! I'm gonna die of happiness!
