Yesterday, Show actually resembled a soap opera. Extra credit points to the tear ducts of Anna and Valentine. Oh Valentine - you are no longer in hell. You have been relieved of Nina duty. You have been relieved of Nina duty.
Yeah, all things considered it was a pretty good episode. They came very close to salvaging this shit storm of an Anna/Peter/Henrik S/L.

Ugh, I can totally see Lauren getting pregnant with Griffin's baby. It gives him a story, and Ava apparently hasn't been punished enough.
Griffin so impregnated Kiki yesterday. I'm actually looking forward to that possibility, could make for one of the best S/Ls this show has seen in ages.

TR is by far in a class by himself. If TG had to do the same scene, it would have probably come across hammy and cheesey.
In all fairness though, memories of Robert and Luke working together back in GH's glory days makes my heart sing.

There's nothing wrong with Kim McCullough.
Amen- I loved Kimmy when she was a size 3 and I still do. ;-)
30 minutes ago, seasons said:That last scene with Robert! Fucking! Scorpio! punching Valentin was possibly the best tv show moment I have ever seen.
The only thing missing was the Axel F theme music from the 80s.

Wow. Saw a close up of Kim's dress today. Seriously, where on Earth did these gowns come from? Do the actresses get some kind of hazard pay for wearing them? Is it an acting challenge/exercise to wear atrocities while attempting to emote? I felt real embarrassment for some of these people.
Did you mean Kim McCullough or the Kim character played by Tamara Braun? The former will always be my cutie-pie sweetie, but damn, that gown did her no favors. None at all. Conversely, Kelly Monaco's dress definitely played to her, ah, strengths. On a shallow note, me likey. A whole lot. ;-)

But Dre ain't changing. His choice of the dream home just showed how selfish and impractical he remains.
Maybe I'm overly sensitive being fairly close to Dre's socio-economic demographic (less about $400K a year, lol), but damn, does that Brother get hammered here. Maybe he's a bit, ah, persnickety and slightly immature, but so are the fathers on Man with a Plan and Kevin Can Wait to one degree or another. Historically, most sit-com dads have always been kind of buffoonish, haven't they? I focus on Dre as a modern day success story - provider, responsible dad, solid wage earner - qualities not always ascribed to men of color, especially Black men. Plus, he made it out of the Hood. Not all of us do. Quite a few of my childhood friends from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn (every bit as rough as Compton, etc.) didn't, despite us all being in "Gifted and Talented" classes. Some got strung-out and overdosed, others wound up in the state or federal pen. Maybe around half of us wound up being college grads and urban professionals. So despite his quirks, I respect Dre as a Black male character that stands by his beliefs, right or wrong, and at the end of the day handles his business. Wish there were a lot more like Dre in real life.

I did laugh at Pops' "Uh oh" looking at Diane playing with the fireplace.
Yeah, everything about "Dark Diane" pretty much screams young pyromaniac.

They have money to burn.
It does appear that between the two of them, Bow and Dre must earn somewhere in the high six-figures given the way they spend money,

Loved the flash forward to them playing True American with their kids. Those kids will be SO weird and I love it and they will all have each other to be weird with as they grow up.
So, so true. There's nothing in the World like having fellow weirdos to be weird with.

Same here. I'll always feel like New Girl peaked early, around the time that Jake Johnson seemed on the verge of mega-stardom, and then slowly began to fade away.

Unless Supergirl deepens her voice like Starlord did in Infinity War, it's kind of a giveaway.
Starlord: "I'm not deepening my voice, that's the way I normally sound." Rocket Racoon: "There, he did it again!!!!!" Thor: "Are you mocking me???"
Man, it would be nice to get that kind of slapstick in SG every once in a while.

I can't remember who it was but someone on this board said that Kara is rather immature and this episode really showed that.
That would have been me. She's only getting worse, becoming a sanctimonious, holier-than-thou asshole supreme. Not particularly a thoughtful one either. Does ordering Lena to turn over all the artificial Kryptonite and formula to the DEO guarantee that she doesn't have back-up stashes of the stuff and the formula encrypted in her PDA? Yeesh.
Ironically enough it was the manufactured Green K that won the day, since Kara and her modern-day Squad of Washington Generals can't lick an Ice Cream cone. Seriously, they should start every single fight flat on their asses, save everybody a whole lot of time. By the way Kara, the cape tricks are interesting, but relying on the heat vision in every fight is getting a bit stale. We haven't seen an original fighting tactic from you since the Thunderclap in this year's Crossover Event.

Great script and perfect casting! Definitely one of the best - in not THE best - BBT episodes of all time. The only thing really missing was the ghost of Captain Proton.
If I were Leonard, would have still taken a picture of that formula though.

The writing of this episode was truly appalling. And that's before the utter gobbledygook that came out of her mouth about the "Kryptonian dark magic that existed before science". Just woeful.
The writing has been so inconsistent this season. We get borderline brilliant episodes such as the young Alex/young Kara one but more often its dreck like this week's show. I'm still of the opinion that this season's off-screen drama may have more than a bit to do with the off-and-on quality issue.

I guess Morgan had a website ILOVEPENGUINS.COM or something, since this everlasting love of penguins seems to be common knowledge around town.
Well, it seems Penguin infatuation is more common than most folks might think:

Not necessarily -- she's sitting in the apartment with nothing to do for 3-4 days a week. She has a clear schedule for the nesting and there is no reason why she couldn't request part time work at the hospital during the days with an empty schedule. Yes, she makes money, but she's also working to make a difference in patients' lives and they don't argue with her all the time. She's not able to make a difference in her family life.
I don't disagree. But what I was actually referring to was Bow's reaction to Dre's "when were you going to tell me?" It was like she couldn't wait to start a fresh argument.

In Dre’s defense, Bow really should have told him she went back to work. That could really impact her schedule of spending time with the kids and that is something Dre deserved to know.
Dre gets bashed so much on the Boards, but Bow was totes out-of-line on that one. Dre was clearly trying his best to move towards a reconciliation and it took her all of 30 seconds to snap into combat mode.

Agreed. Far "too cool for school" to coin an old-school phrase.

More and more I find myself wondering why the show is called “Supergirl” because more and more she... isn’t.
In a hypothetical match-up, Wonder Woman mops the floor with Supergirl, despite the disparities in power sets. Diana, at least the movie version, just seems so much tougher than Kara.

Decent episode, but Kara's group of Super-friends can't fight worth a damn. I was stoked to see J'onn going to battle with Kara (the writers couldn't come up with a contrivance for making him stay behind this time). But all he and Mon-el managed to do was to knocked on their rear ends as much as Kara usually does, which is a lot.
2 hours ago, scarynikki12 said:3 hours ago, Trini said:So with this episode, I'm convinced that Lena KNOWS Kara is Supergirl, but she's keeping up the act as long as Kara keeps it up.
Agreed. The way she asked for her real name screamed “I know who you are but I’m seeing how long it takes you to tell me”. Kara should have caught that but she thinks she’s getting away with it.
Yeah, it was the combination of Lena's question and the look that went along with it. Lena definitely knows, and being a genius, figured it out faster than Cat Grant.
2 hours ago, thuganomics85 said:Seriously, get over yourself, Kara. Even if I can understand the basics of feeling hurt that she kept secrets from you, bringing that up in the middle of a dangerous mission? What are you, twelve?
Even though Kara's cuter than a basket of puppies, she's not always the nicest of people. She can be very judgmental, headstrong, and immature. It's been three seasons now and we haven't seen a lot of character growth, which is concerning. Smallville, while different conceptually, did a much better job of chronicling Clark's maturation.

Scotty? They both love a good cocktail, hate the Corinthii, and Scotty certainly wouldn't subject her to any lectures on morality.
Methinks Scotty isn't young and virile enough for Ava. She likes them fresh and ah, tender. Scotty and Ava work best as partners-in-crime, so to speak.

Jason: I can't let you go into danger like that. You're Robin's mother.
STFU Jason. The way he and Sonny take power away from women is awful. Anna has more ability and smarts in her little finger than you have in your whole body.
Hey St. Fucking Jasus - Anna Devane was dealing with Faison and tackling Cassadines back when you were still wearing Reindeer Sweaters. Chill dude.

Next week looks like the family and probably Dre's coworkers will know. So, two sips when Charlie makes a comment on Bow being available. Two sips when Dre's boss makes a racist comment on black marriage. One sip when Ruby makes a snide comment on the separation being Bow's fault. One sip if Pops blame Dre. Two sips if Pops appears in the episode. Three sips if a member of Bow's family appear in the episode
Four sips if Wanda Sykes' character asks Dre if he's going to get a Caucasian woman on the side now.

Pam from HR wants vengeance! What the heck did Winn do, is he dating half the DEO on the side?
Whatever Winn did, he expected her to be mighty pissed, lol. His reaction was, "she's not just gonna kick my ass, she's gonna kill me."

S03.E19: The Fanatical
in Supergirl
· Edited by Winston Wolfe
It's not just because she's been so fucking obnoxious this season. It's also because Kara literally CANNOT win a fight. She was knocked off her feet 20 seconds into yesterday's climatic fight scene - by an opponent that had just acquired her super-powers. Here's the choreography for a typical SG fight: Kara makes dramatic entrance. Lands one or two solid punches. Obligatory use of Heat Vision. Then gets tossed around for the next five minutes like a rag doll. Then, on the verge of defeat, makes a plaintive, urgent plea to the baddie of the week, speaking to his/her humanity. Then the Deus-ex-Machina of the episode comes, ending the conflict. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
