Supergirl: That's Not How You Human.

Really, Alex?  I expected better from you.  Just because a man withholds one piece of information, it does not logically follow that EVERYTHING he says it a lie.




Alex.  Surprisingly willing to jump to conclusions.
 

Apparently not only is she now vulnerable, her immune system is like an insane swamp beast.  Seriously?  A kid sneezed on her 20 minutes ago and she's already dripping from her face?  That is not how viruses work.

WHAT IS WITH THE SUPERHEROES AND THEIR ODD NEED TO TEMPT FATE?  Kara, for future reference, never, ever say "the world can do without Supergirl for one day" EVER AGAIN.  It is the automatic cue to the stage manager of chaos to let loose the hounds of hell.

On the other hand, it got that tall, attractive man to take his shirt off, so I take it back.  Wreak all the havoc you want.




Gratuitous Man Candy.
 

Ummmm... I thought that room was keyed to Kara's biometrics, and she was the only one who could get in there.  How come it's full of agents?

So, for a couple episodes now I've been wondering if Henshaw is actually J'onn J'onzz.  It wouldn't make much sense, because it's completely outside the storyline for the Martian Manhunter, also it would be silly to take such a big name property and make him a secondary character in the Supergirl plot line.  But he's got red eyes, and I think he's a shapeshifter, which would fit with the Martian profile... 

Wow.  Way to turn into a giant crybaby the minute you're reduced to being a mere mortal.  Your sister's NEVER had powers, and she still goes toe-to-toe with some big nasties.  How about you pull up your big girl spanks and get your ass off that bench?

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!  THOSE ARE THE BIG GIRL SPANKS I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!

 Real bravery is when you know the bullets won't bounce.

Ummm... Alex, when you leave a man handcuffed to the pipes while there's a crazy on the loose, you're essentially condemning them to potential death.  That seems a little harsh until you know what actually happened to your dad.  Just saying.

Supergirl, please stop saying that reaching someone emotionally feels better than flying.  (A) you know damn well that's a lie, and (B) it's just too fucking predictable that the girl likes getting in touch with her emotions. 

The hug is a good first step.  NOW KISS.

Fuck yeah, Win.  Speak your truth and know no shame.  Although you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot there, telling her she can't ever be with a normal human.

Okay, look, from the moment Jimmy decided to climb in the elevator, the rest of the plot was predictable.  Here's what I wish, though.  I wish it had been Win.  Not because I want him to "get the girl" in the end, but because I'd like Supergirl to be able to show that she doesn't JUST care about the object of her Super Crush.  Win has been her friend for a long time.  Saving him would have been just as plausible, and it would have been less stupidly girly.

Whoa, Kara, who did your eye makeup for that scene?  Whoever it is, please tell them to lay off the excessive liner.  I like a good cat-eye as much as the next theatrical individual, but let's not go overboard here.

HOLY FUCKNUTS!!! I WAS RIGHT!!!! 

*pauses for a victory lap around the living room*

YEAH BABY!!!!!

Seriously, I can't believe they did that, though.  J'onn is INCREDIBLY powerful.  I mean, massively so.  It's kind of like giving her Superman to back her up, which they were very careful not to do.  Also, props that actor.  They finally gave him worthwhile dialogue and he's actually emoting.

Jesus, people, she just hugged him.  It's not like she banged him on the desk or anything.  When did a hug become so damn controversial?  Like, is it the new comic book version or oral?  WHAT THE HELL?  CAN WE PLEASE STOP TREATING WOMEN LIKE PREDATORY SEX DEMONS WHO CAN PERVERT A MAN WITH A SINGLE EMBRACE?  DAMN.

Oh look!  Predictably, now that she's fallen off Win's pedestal, and made Jimmy confront his feelings, now they don't want to have anything to do with her.  Because god forbid she be fallible (I mean, if we're gonna count hugging as ACTUALLY INAPPROPRIATE, WHICH I DO NOT), or that she force a man to be honest with himself.  GOD FOR-FUCKING-BID.

Okay, someone needs to give the General some acting lessons.  I've seen her on other shows, and she does normal human pretty well.  But she's actually terrible at dripping with evil.  I would think that would be easy, cause, you know... DRIPPING WITH EVIL.  You just have to let out the inner demons.  But no.  Maybe she's just too nice to pull it off well.  She's great as the mom.

Too nice.  Far too nice.
