This might actually be my favorite episode of the season so far. I loved everything about it.
Mon-El's storyline provided some pretty hilarious moments, but there was also an important lesson for Kara in there. Just please, don't let anything romantic happen between these two. I'm starting to like their weird brother/sister dynamic.
James is finally getting his own storyline! It's about damn time. I'm glad that he has Winn helping him.
The villains were fine. Whatever. It's not like we're ever going to see them again.
Lena Luthor had some good scenes in this episode. She was totally flirting with Kara. Fight me on this. Showing up at CatCo? Biting her lip while talking to Kara? Coming to Kara's apartment? (How did she even get her address?) It was amazing. I also liked Lena and Winn working together to stop the bad guys. Lena being a casual badass is what I'm here for.
Of course Project Cadmus lady is Lena's mom. Because if someone out there hates aliens, it just has to be a Luthor. I know I said I'd be fine with Lena turning out to be evil, but now I really want her to be better than her shitty family and choose a different path.
We got some nice bonding between Kara and Alex! I adore these two. They're so wonderful together. And Alex had a punk rock phase! It's canon!
So Alex didn't realize she was gay. Huh. I thought she knew and she simply decided not to tell anyone, but the way the writers chose to deal with it on the show is actually a lot better. I feel like they handled her coming out storyline exceptionally well. That scene at the end was freaking spectacular: so real, raw and powerful. I'm losing my mind over it. I can't believe it's real. I would like to thank not only God but also Jesus for blessing me with this beautiful character arc. Chyler Leigh is a goddamn revelation. Her acting is so nuanced. And I'm obsessed with "Way down we go" by Kaleo. Any scene is better with this song in the background. That's just science. I don't make the rules.
Oh, and I knew Maggie's girlfriend wouldn't stick around for long, but I didn't expect them to get rid of her this fast. It has to be some kind of a record.
