Wear a mothguard and helmet for this episode, the sledge hammer they keep hitting you with in the face over and over again gets a bit much. We get it, acceptance is what you want to put across, jeez..

Get past that and it’s quite a meh episode.

Please knock off the politics .It's just cringe worthy rather than inspiring.

5 minutes in and I couldn't bear any more of this shit, it's always had this hidden politics bullshit but this season it's like watching a SJW for aliens channel on youtube, feck this, I'm not watching this crap anymore.

I suppose one thing we should remember is that it’s target audience is impressionable tweens and not, people like us who have been moulded by real life and come out the other side darker and more sinical :lol:

Pretty decent episode, could be because there wasn’t much screen time for the usual subjects. Doomsday guy is nailing this role, secretly hoping that he becomes Doomsday again and this is just the alternative earth version. Heck how good would the crossover episodes be if they had Doomsday as the villain at some point.

Anyway he is doing a great job.

Catching up, but the Agent Liberty Origin episode was fantastic. Really well done. Had him a little sympathetic, but then not quite as he went full on radical. It was really well done but a good way to show how people can easily become turned from what they originally believed as their life is affected.

Also Ben is just as menacing if not more without the mask.

Episode 3 yeah ? Best Supergirl episode because it simply didn't involve the shitty main characters much. The whole politics slizzering its way into TV shows is disturbing me.

Like the look of Manchester Black. Wonder if he's a red or blue.

Yeah, they arent very subtle with their political shots. At least its more subtle than before.

Ive been enjoying the season so far though.

Jon Cryer (the dorky brother from 2 and a half men) has been cast as Lex Luthor.

Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu made more sense.
Its So weird as a choice. Hope he does well but will always see him as the dweeb from the show you mentioned

This has kind of gotten good again, much like last season rocky start followed by a decent run. Hopefully they don’t screw it up again but it’s inevitable at this point. Best thing about the show is Lena, Manchester Black and Lockwood currently. Really don’t give a crap what anyone else is up to in the show apart from possibly Brainy. Supergirl herself is boring as hell.

@Sylar @kouroux I’m still going to back Diaz on that one but yeah this guy is very good. There is something quite haunting about cold calculated person other than just you run of the mill loud obnoxious villain.

Have to say I really don’t see the point in Jon anymore, he has become a bit of a nothing character.

Diaz isnt even the third best Arrow villain lol
How dare you sir :lol::lol: he’s easily 2nd or 3rd.
Burnt a man alive for Christ sake for burning a photo 15-20 years earlier. That’s cold.

Although now that I think about it Iris is probably the best villain in all of the CWDC

Diaz is a fecking dope, terrible villain. Slade Wilson is the best Arrow villain

Martian Hunter is on the same level or more than Superman ,yet they have made him so weak in this series. And what is the point of James Olsen.

Show should be renamed Manchester Black. They’ve struck a good balance and possibly realised less Supergirl the better.

No, there was just a teaser after the end of the episode.

@Welsh Wonder I’m sure Amell has said the crossover kicks off on Arrow this year and it’s episode 9 so my guess is that clip or reference was just that, a reference as to what is to come. So the 3rd part and final part of the story is most likely on supergirl so Kostur you might have to watch an episode :lol:

Ugh fecking hell.
I think they plan to swap the days of the shows so Arrow will be on the Sunday night. This was months ago I read this so it could have all changed but I can’t imagine they would change the story and if Amell says it’s starting on Arrow then surely finishes on supergirl or possibly the Flash.

Are y'all grown up dudes watching this show? Trying to understand the demographics here.

Yeah I recall them saying somewhere that it's a three-episode thing with Legends out of business so it will involve superpoliticalslag anyway, make it be first or the last.

The pacing of the season has been weird. Like the new girl they mentioned she had trouble with sleep, then it was revealed why in the last episode, but then also she managed to learn and control her powers by the end of that episode. Kinda rushed.

I do like the villain though and half the people backing him. Has Xmen vibes to it (although a bit too much political comparisons)

Hes been good. I like the pairing of him and MM (though MM has been under used this season).

I think Flash and Supergirl switch nights for the crossover. Flash airs on Sunday, Arrow stays on Monday and Supergirl is the finale on Tuesday.

Yeah that looks about right, Supergirl is the last one on the 11th. Due to the set-up and what we know is happening I can see why Amell has said he kicks off the crossovers bearing in mind he will be
The Flash

Bit of a mixed episode. The new aliens they introduced should have been used more given the tragic story that was provided to them. It was some back story, then it all turned into Alien vs Predator stuff.

im guessing the evil supergirl is gonna be part of a plan by
Lex?

Sometimes the little things annoy me about this show. Worse than Lena not realising her best friend is supergirl now we’ve just to accept that her sister can’t recognise her through that crack disguise :wenger:

I dont have that issue just cos its always been a thing with Superman. Glasses being the ultimate disguise.

Im guessing the 'guy in america' is Lex Luthor?

Im not sure what to make of this season. Seems really start/stop especially with another break coming. I swear this is the 4th season break theyve had.

I dont get what the new heroes power is except shes a TG superhero. Her power is she can dream?
Also lack of use of Lena is annoying. Maybe will see her more when Lex is introduced.

I think it’s that she dreams the future no? Where did she learn to fight is my big question. Or does she have an amazing memory and can recall her dream to no where and when the punches are coming.

Yeah these breaks are getting really annoying especially when the quality of the show seems to be dropping again. It’s the same for the The Flash.
