They put him into a board room and then promptly never did it again. One cool visual does not equal an actualyl good story. This is no different than when they made him boss of CatCo in season 2 and for one whole episode he actually got to act like it and admonish Snapper for being mean to Kara. After which the writers also promptly forgot about it again. Does that mean that he was well used in season 2 just because he got to be boss-like for one episode? J'onn not being allowed to fight is just as much of an issue in season 2 as it was in season 3. The storyline about J'onn meeting M'gann, finding out she's a white Martian and eventually forgiving her has gotten way more consistent screentime than the father storyline had and it had plenty of depth with the flashbacks to his family and him having to get over his hatred. The father had one episode dedicated to this plot and after that J'onn promptly forgets that his father who he thought was dead, the one other GREEN Martian, the man who was a prisoner or war and tortured for centuries is back. He was introduced in 3 and he wasn't mentioned again in 7 where he discovered coffee, toilets and they got an apartment. After which he promptly disappeared again probably for at least another 5 episodes. This is not a reconnecting storyline. This is every few episodes when the writers are really bored maybe they have a scene of it. So much for the promises by the writers of J'onn being part of the theme about identity and alien versus human. He was the A Plot in City of Lost Children, the episode where he had like double the screentime of Kara. (the one with the telepathic alien and her kid)

He barely had any screentime since he returned? Especially not compared to last season? The only episode he had significant screentime in so far was the episode he returned in. https://supergirlstats.tumblr.com/ Compare that to Brainaic who cheerfully got more screentime than Kara in his very first episode.

1.) that's a lot of shoes 2.) Actors are so weird and dorky in real life

That's pretty much how I remember it. Left of the red line there is the peak of the line. The dots below 2 million were the three "solo episodes" (Lena episode, Alex/Maggie episode James episode and the first part of the finale). The peak ebfore that was the "small" finale of Kara saving Mon-El from the Daxamite ship. And there was a hiatus between this episode and the "solo episodes": The minor peak for the Legion of Superheroes episode is really impressive. Especially since the winter finale where Reign beats Kara to a pulp is so much lower. I'm definitely curious how the ratings will develop after this especially if people realize that the Legion doesn't seem to play much of a role in the plot. Particularly Brainiac 5 who tends to be a fan favorite appears to be pretty absent based on shooting reports.

Thanks, I was a bit confused a bit initially with the number placements. I think comparing ratings will be super strange this season with Supergirl's odd hiatus which will lead it to air during times/months where none of the other shows normally air. I'm also beyond curious how Legends will do in Supergirl's exact spot because that is just about the most direct comparison we can have of popularity.

This means that SG didn't gain from s2 to s3, it just gained between s3 premiere and s3 current episode. Personally I think Supergirl's season 2 premiere was a big aberration. For one of course it dropped enormously because of it being on a different network and it was pretty clear from the ratings that many people tuned in only to see Superman because those ratings were gone instantly after his two episodes. From what I remember most of season 2 was low to mid 2 million, and dropped below 2 million for the last batch of episodes before the finale. Season 3 has had most episodes below 2 million and only occasional dips above.

This meme really needs to die. This is just repeating the false promises of the writers that never actually materialized in s substantial way on screen. J'onn and Winn and James are used terribly. And the ratings are actually higher now than in those early episodes where James was at CatCo (that is the message here, that the ratings actually went UP from those early episodes). The writing for the old supporting characters is horrible this season. Lena constantly disappears for episodes, James/Lena was terribly written, she does nothing at CatCo except constantly be in danger. The Sam/Lena/Kara friendship is a total joke. Kara's main plot is just the same thing over and over again, moving at a snails pace. Alex is used more, but almost everybody hates that she is gonna be stuck with Ruby. The only thing that halfway works is the action plot aspect of Reign.

Yeah, I definitely noticed that in an episode that was all about going the extra mile in believing that Reign can be saved we probably had a huge death toll. To be honest, in season 1 I assumed that the prison was mostly abandoned, that almost everyody had escaped. And now there's still dozens of people living on it? And Kara shot them into space to slowly run them out of energy and probably eventually die of starvation? And now the rest of them fall into the star? Even if the prisoners hadn't died of starvation, the alternative would have been to crash on a planet and cause havoc there. I don't think the writers really thought that thruogh considering the message of the episode.

My money is still on Sam dying a hero by killing/sacrificing herself and Reign in the process. Just like Livewire died as a hero. Kind of like, nobody can defeat Reign, only Reign (Sam) can defeat herself.

Just means that Iris is a nicer person than Candice. And for the record, I think privately grumbling about the wedding but not actually letting it out on other people/in public is still handling it with grace by my definition.
