THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
I'm glad there wasn't an easy "everything is forgiven" with Nia and Maeve, but...Maeve is kind of right. Why wasn't Nia reading up on things before this?
Kara quitting is probably for the best considering how much CatCo sucks at the moment, but I don't want her to be Supergirl 24/7. She needs something to keep her grounded and tied to humanity as Kara Danvers.
Finally saw last weeks, Dreamscape Giant Nuclear loving monster episode, last night.
Pros
Martian Manhunter actually has his Martian head.
More Green Brainy, glad that has been more embraced the last few episodes.
Kara quits CatCo., this was long overdue.
Maeve and Nia having a heart-to-heart
Lex showing up at the end
No pointless, totally doesn't carry herself well as a hero...Guardian.
Cons
Kara not trusting others to handle the creature and bailing, twice on her interview
The Governor, after 5.5 seasons of zany, not trusting Supergirl and Pals to be doing what is best in the public's good?! It didn't even make for good drama.
Andrea, in all manner of believability, would've likely fired Kara anyway. Yet I'm to believe a top 5, in universe, news/media organizations CEO is talking about giving her a third chance at that interview.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
Nice wedding proposal from Alex.
The episode was fine, but three more weeks? I don't think this storyline is worth being dragged out so long, even with Lex's return. But then par for the course on The CW.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

I thought the episode was OK.
Which for this show has to be considered a modest improvement. Once again we had the formula:
there is some totem everyone good and bad guys are going to fight over, we have no real idea
what these totems are about, with a continued suggestion is effort to create the totem that unites them all.
It really could have been a Valentine's Day episode: we have Alex and Kelly each of whom made a wedding
proposal, Nia and Brainy (Why does Nia never call him Querl?), J'onn's love for his children, plus Lex in love with
Nyxly.
Minor quibble: How does an unemployed person like Alex afford an elaborate wedding ring? I suppose Kara could have
made the diamond for her, but still.
Lex really did give the show a little more pep. That said it was bizarre watching Lex run around like a schoolboy in love.
It goes without saying that we had several speeches about love. Kara even got to give a speech, rather than have
people lecturing her.
