TV Supergirl [Spoilers]

He has a real look of menace in his eyes.

Yes, he's wondering how he can free-load off Supergirl much like Two and a half men!

Well he was Gibb's surgeon on NCIS. Doctors make a lot of money, especially specialists, so he should be able to support himself now.

Could be worse. When people found out Superman's secret identity in shows like Adventures of Superman or Lois and Clark they usually died. Or best case scenario they were also mind wiped.

That's like when some poor woman fell in love with one of the Cartwrights on Bonanza, they were dead rather quickly. Still it's a contrary plot point for the goody two shoes world view of Alex and Kara. However, Kara kills aliens or villains at times, OOPS.

On the Wonder Woman TV show she mind wiped both friend and foe with her lasso of truth as causally as I tie my shoes. And sometimes it wasn't even to protect her identity. At least with Supergirl there are ramifications and remorse.

It would be hilarious if Red Daughter ended up being a red herring.

I had a feeling Alex was going to start acting like this. I wonder how she'll react when the mind wipe is lifted (there is no way that sticks long term).

I do like the drama that it is bringing to Alex and Kara's relationship, though.

About time Nia knew the truth.

I wonder how much Nia's sister is going to regret saying that Nia wasn't a real woman. I can imagine the grief of loosing her mother coupled with the realization that she was never going to get the power's she's wanted forever made her lash out, but I wonder if that wasn't how she always felt.

Who played Nia's father? I recognized him, but I can't place him.

I was pissed at Alex going off on Kara. Sure, Bobbi was just an innocent person who lashed out, but Bobbi chose to take that drug and she chose to go after the CoL. So Bobbi needed to learn that actions have consequences.

So, does Alex know that Brainy is an alien? I guess she knows that J'onn is. You'd think that alone would temper her feelings against aliens.

I wonder what caused Red Daughter to die. Was she just not as invulnerable as Supergirl, or is this an effect of the splitting process. And if it's that, how long until our Kara is affected?

Anyone else think something was wrong when they opened the show with the exact same footage of Red Daughter taking on the missile and drone? I thought they were replaying last week's episode for a second.

He's been in a lot of things including an episode of Arrow and five of Higher Ground playing Hayden Christianson's dad

Another very good episode. One of the best this season, in fact. Once again, the strong thematic focus elevates the series far beyond the past two seasons - and makes it stand out again as something other than a female version of the Flash. The bond between Alex and Kara has always been one of the show's greatest strengths so it's fantastic to see it explored here, while also being smartly mirrored in the Nia Nell (however you spell that) plot. I also love, incidentally, that this season hasn't focused on a single Big Bad but has a bunch of antagonists linked by the common xenophobia theme (Luthor will undoubtedly play into this too) with the Red Son Supergirl being teased out throughout the season and still being quite the mystery as to how she fits into all this.

I may have some quibbles (this many supporting characters means that we still aren't getting as much Melissa Benoist as I would like) but as I grow more and more bored by the Flash, Supergirl has really come into its own this season - certainly as a CW show (season 1 is still completely different to what came next).

Actually- didn't he play Adrian Chase's dad?

[Sandy Hausler]

Is it just me who thinks that the new Nal daughter is primed to be the show's White Witch?

Good episode, allthough the death of Nia's mom was a little forced.

Also, anybody else immidiately recognized the guy who played Nia's dad? He was also Justin Claybourne on Arrow^^

No, it's not just you. The white dress is the tip-off.

You mean Nia's sister? It's definitely possible.

I'm having problems with all the aliens. First there was just Kal, then a few were around, now there are villages that existed for decades with intermarriage. I guess the writers can't keep this straight.

I really don't need social issues dominated superhero shows, I know enough about it and am concerned with real world politics concerned with such. I need the escapism and not preaching in genre shows - Meh. Fast forward is your friend.

Poor Earth, Kryptonians and Daxamites landing all the time. A planet full of super powerful Martians next door that can get in a convertible and drive over. All kinds of superpowered aliens landing and settling in.

Kara and Kal aren't so special anymore.

I have stated here before myself that the oodles of aliens on Earth are just nonsensical. I'm pretty sure there should be a much higher percentage of alien criminality than what we have seen on Earth-38, too.

I said this in the X-Men MCU Hopes thread and it applies here this show wants to use Aliens as a metaphor for immigrants and refugees but there is a massive flaw in that when you use Mutants, Inhumans, Metas, or Super Powered Aliens and that's they actually are a real threat its not just fear and prejudice there are real dangers to unchecked superpowers. It's a nice metaphor to teach kids tolerance for those who are different but falls apart if you really examine it.

I 100% agree, Jokerz79. It's so blatantly obvious, too.
