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.
Meta-humans are one thing. But a giant monster? That's a whole new level of cool. I jumped out of my seat when I saw it. What a shame that it was just a hologram.
Do I care about freaking Julian now? Yes, I do. I don't know how this show does it: one episode I can't stand a character and the next I have tears in my eyes because of him? What kind of sorcery is this?
I'm still not sure what to think about H.R. It's hilarious that he's not actually a scientist, but I think I preferred grumpy overprotective dad from Earth-2.
Caitlin's mom was played by an actress who was also Tyler's mom on The Vampire Diaries and Lydia's mom on Teen Wolf. I guess she's meant to always exist in my mind as someone's mom.
The whole Caitlin storyline was weird. Caitlin told her mom that her husband had died and her mom basically said "Okay, whatever". Caitlin almost killed a guy and her mom was like "Yeah, no big deal, let's hug it out, now go". It seemed so strange and awkward, and the way the characters reacted to what was happening didn't feel right.
It's not fair that Caitlin's powers come with a catch and Barry's don't. I mean, what the hell is this? "You can run super fast and you'll be totally fine as long as you eat enough. And you can freeze things, but hey, if you do it too many times, you'll become a homicidal maniac. Why? Because fuck you, that's why."
Hello, Megan! First Martian Manhunter and now Miss Martian! This is just getting better and better.
I hope they find ways to keep bringing Jessie Quick back. Not optimistic though after they seemingly ditched Patty Spivot before using her as Hot Pursuit.
So does this mean that Mike has to go back to his job as a consultant or does this mean that he's been erased from history and would not have existed in the 21st century thus Jessica would still have her law firm in tact???
When Arrow I would have never guessed what it would grow into but here we are. We have Martian Manhunter and Superman on Supergirl, all kinds of dope stuff on Flash and the JSA on Legends. It's insane. And fucking awesome!
The Superman team up is great and this Superman shows Snyder how the character should be. A plus is that James isn't in the episode much. Except when Cat left for awhile and James is the new boss.
Which sucks since she was entertaining. James is dull. Superman left and James is the new boss. There goes next week being as good as the first two episodes of season 2.
"I love roasting Nazis"
Rory saying that just makes it better haha
What a fun episode. Last season this show was a mess - vibrant, fast-paced, thoroughly entertaining mess, but a mess nonetheless. Now it seems a lot better for some reason. Maybe it's because they got rid of Carter and Kendra, who were by far the dullest characters on the show.
The story was actually really good. We got everything in this episode, from dinosaurs to Nazis. The writing was okay, the special effects were cool, I don't really have any complaints.
Stein's excitement over meeting Einstein was adorable.
Leave it to Sara Lance to flirt with a woman while she's being sentenced to death for "corrupting" women. Oh, Sara. Never change. I'm still hoping for a happy ending for you and Nyssa someday, but your shenanigans are hilarious.
I wish Sara had killed Damien Darhk. Then we could pretend that season 4 of Arrow never happened.
"- I'm here, Captain.
- You always are."
Damn it, Legends of Tomorrow. Ever since Person of Interest ended, I've thought I'd never care about an AI again, but here I am.
And Rip's speech at the end of the episode? Excuse me while I go throw myself off a cliff. I can't handle the feels.
The golden rule of the Arrowverse: if someone is fucking with the timeline, you can bet that it's a speedster. Wonderful. As if I didn't have enough reasons to hate Eobard Thawne.
I love October. You can practically hear all of my favorite shows coming back from hiatus.
This was a really good episode. Like, really good. Thankfully, Superman didn't overshadow Supergirl at all. I'd been worried that that might happen - the media had been massively overhyping his appearance on the show before the season started, but he didn't steal Kara's spotlight, for which I'm grateful. Tyler and Melissa work so well together. It was a pleasure to watch their characters interact.
Lena Luthor seems pretty cool. I hope to see more of her soon.
Cat Grant is absolutely fantastic. I love her. What a shame that Calista is no longer a series regular. Kara and Cat's relationship is a delight to watch.
Kara and James didn't even last one episode, which is hilarious. Honestly, I'm glad. Let Kara focus on herself before you put her in a relationship.
We also got yet another British villain, the first glimpse of Project Cadmus and Alex Danvers kicking some bad guy ass (hell yeah!).
After a pretty shaky start and some serious improvement in season 1, Supergirl is now a well-balanced superhero show and also one of my personal favorites. And boy, am I glad that they moved it to the CW. To be honest, I didn't know what to think when I heard the news back in May, but it worked out extremely well. The pacing and the flow of the episode were significantly better than what we'd got used to in season 1. The dialogues were better. The editing was better. The atmosphere was better. Supergirl has always been charming, colorful and fun, and now all these qualities seem to have been amplified somehow. If this episode was any indication of how the rest of the season is going to look like, we're in for a treat. And I couldn't be more excited.
It's so good to have Sherlock and Watson back
Arizona is back!!! Thank God!! I missed her so much!!
Is so rare not seeing Callie... I miss her...
I adore how much Arizona care for Alex & Andrew.
She's so freaking awesome.
The Meredith, Maggie & Nathan's triangle is annoying. Is like highschool.
April is so funny.
So far is a good season.
GHOST FUCKING RIDER. ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
The transformation into that mask looked so badass. Great premier. Exciting stuff this season :D
a superb ending to the second season, looking forward to the next.
memorable dramatic moment during the jumping scene, and I always associate FEAR TWD with the water element
WHAT?
I can't really type a proper comment at the moment. Still baffled. So... WHAT?
I absolutely loved that intro... it could have been a tad shorter, but I kinda liked the fact that it was long enough to have "commercial breaks" inside of it. With Mr. Robot I never know what to expect anymore, lol. The rest of the episode was also amazing as always, fsociety teaching Angela how to hack is such a good story.
The only thing that left me a bit confused was Darlene not knowing what was happening when Angela and CD guy were looking at each other. Shouldn't Darlene know that he was responsible for the CD? The CD at Allsafe as ground zero for the hack, and it was known that the Dark Army was behind that. This is probably not important anyway, but I still couldn't help but get confused, Mr. Robot is vague sometimes and it's hard to tell who knows something or not.
Also, I love the flashback scenes we're getting this season.
Man! that speech about religion is awesome.
Currently my favourite show and I don't mind the Fight Club references at all. I can relate to Elliot as a nerd who has mental issues.
Ok, Angela did it with Ollie's ID and in his computer, then what? A SECURITY company doesn't have security cameras?
It's amazing how the handle the tension of this when we all know how it ends. All the time waiting for the moment when Christopher asks Simpson to try the gloves because we know they lost the case that day, and still, while everyone gets up to see if thei fit, the silence in the room made me sit in the edge of my seat.
A lot of TV series today rely on plot twist and surprise endings to keep us watching, and it's very nice to see that a good tv show can be made even without those things and still have tension and drama. And the cast only makes it better. By now I'm thinking this show the surprise of the season.
This episode was so hard to watch. Sarah Paulson deserves an Emmy.
Perhaps, 'til now, the best episode on this season.
Made me remember of that great movie called 'the Hedgehog Day'.
You have no ideia how exhausting is to be crazy.
I really liked the line "and when i saved someone. ..that's when it really made a change". Good episode, and i especially liked how fast writers moved pass a changed time line, not confusing us too much.
First I just want to say that I hope that this amazing show gets a second season, because apparently the timeline is not simple enough for some people.
Moving on, the biggest surprise of this episode is definitely the ending. Viewers already know that the recent missions Cole went on have not been successful in erasing the current dystopian future, yet the events of this episode ― sterilising the Precursor and/or Cassandra being kidnapped by the Army of the 12 Monkeys ― changed the 2043 we have came to know into an alternate dystopian future with West VII at its centre. And I'm sure I'm not the first one to mention this, but I'm now even more convinced that Cassandra and Jones are intricately linked, and the same goes for Cole and the Precursor, seeing as how Jennifer keeps mentioning both persons' eyes and the fact that Cole got a migraine from standing too close to the Precursor.
8.5/10
