I can only say:

* Great Cast
* Fantastic script by Sterling Gates and colleague
* Great Direction
* and I laughed which is hard to get me to do.

What is there more to say, but thanks cast, crew and producers.

Some of you may have seen my comment in the news item of this episode about Mehcad's reduced role this season, so far there's been 3 episodes he hasn't even been in which seems unusual to me for a main character.

Anyway here's an article from hypable.com that looks at that.



I thought it was going to be an article about where he has actually been, as in where had Mehcad been? lol

Oh well, nice opinion piece.

best scene in a long time: that lovers quarrel in the DEO was comedic brilliance. When Mon-El waved and said "Oh Hi Dana" was genius. In no way was that scripted and him tossing that in didn't fluster Melissa at all, she just rolled with it. And then at the end with her making those faces cuz she ran out of things to say was so funny. That was 2 power houses performing their buts off for us. Loved it! Isn't this how Lois and Clark bickered in the adventures of Lois and Clark pushing each others buttons?


I wonder how many takes it took before they stopped flubbing their lines? :D They were going pretty rapid fire, there.

9.5 out of 10 and 9 of that goes to the Fortress of Solitude scenes, what an amazing sequence. We had action, brilliant VFX (great work the team @ Encore), Supergirl using her wits to defeat Mxy and doing it all on her own and some great acting especially from Melissa but also Peter Gadiot.

I also enjoyed seeing Supergirl use Super Speed to stop the bullets hitting the thieves.

All in all a good time had with this episode.


SG relies on Winn for all computer-related issues. How did she figure out how to jury-rig the Fortress computer? I don't think she talked to Winn about it because she was afraid that Mxy was eavesdropping.

Kryptonian computer lol and she's Kryptonian. Using that for her would be like me using Windows.
In the year 2166, my planet Krypton was dying. I returned with only one goal, but my pod got knocked off course, and by the time I got here, an accident made me the impossible.....

OMG Yes! I totally agree @Rschick. I don’t know how many times I’ve rewatched that scene alone and every time it has me laughing out loud. It’s easily one of my top 3 favorite scenes of the entire series and easily the most comically brilliant one the show has ever done (IMO). Melissa and Chris nailed this scene. Melissa’s facial expressions were priceless and every time Mon-El stopped Kara as she’s charging down the hall and she was all “OMG, WHAT?!?” that had me in stitches. And Mon-El’s indignation even though he was so wrong was hilarious. He was so wrong he was digging himself a trench as he chased Kara down the hall. hehe. And yep, that moment where mid-argument Mon-El glances over and says “How ya doing Dana” and then keeps rolling right on with his argument with Kara was gold. That and his “Oh, here it is. That’s right - HE’S A DAXAMITE!” LOL. And at the end when they didn’t have anything to say so were just making faces, LOL. I could honestly watch this scene on a loop for hours and never tire of it.

And yes, this was the scene where it hit me - they’re Lois & Clark!

I really liked Kara and Mon-El’s relationship prior to this episode, but all their scenes in this episode were so well done and hit all the right notes - they were funny, charmimg, heartfelt, and WOWZERs their closing scene, talk about hot romance - I’m totally sold on them. I’m all in. (To those who don’t like their pairing, pardon my gushing. I will sincerely try to keep gushing about them to a minimum. I do realize it can be grating.)

Well, Kara relies on Winn to handle all human (earth) computer technology. But Kara is perfectly adept with Kryptonian technology. Kryptonian tech is what she was raised with and it’s what she knows. Krypton was a very technologically advanced civilization, so in theory, even though Kara left Krypton when she was 12 years old, her knowledge of math & sciences would very likely be way beyond anyone here on Earth.

The way it’s explained in the comics is that it’s not that Kara is computer-dumb or scientifically inept, it’s that human tech is so primitive to her it’s somewhat akin to handing a modern day person a stone-age implement and expecting them to figure out what it’s used for and how to use it.

Personally, I have a headcanon of a young Kara in a Midvale High science class bored out of her cotton pickin mind. It's like she was being forced to watch Teletubbies everyday for several years.

Ooo, interesting. If so, could the show be setting up Legion of Superheroes for next season?

Supergirl, Mon-El, and Dawnstar were all members at some point in the comics if I recall correctly, so...

...Very interesting.

Only problemo I have with the girl Winn was "dating" in this episode were her contacts. They creeped me out and simply reminded me of the cheap contacts my students wear to school during the Halloween season. Bad costuming choice in my opinion :(

quote today from Jeremy Jordan in Entertainment Weekly

As I teased on Superhero Insider, it sounds like Winn and Lyra are in it for the long haul. After all, Winn does have a tendency to be drawn strong fierce femmes, which comes with its drawbacks. “In our world strong-willed women and women who are powerful in their own ways tend to have other things going on, so we find out that there are secrets,” Jeremy Jordan teases. “But for the first few episodes that we see Winn and Lyra, it’s more about discovering how their relationship fits into this new world that we’re discovering on Supergirl.”

Winn and Lyra was nice for this episode that had a Valentine's Day theme running through it but I now wish they had of waited till Season 3 for a look at a relationship for Winn or even not at all. This now means we will have 3 relationships (Kara/Mon-El, Alex/Maggie and Winn/Lyra) on the show which is about 2 too many IMO as I'm only interested in Kara's because she's who the show is about.

I hope in Season 3 they drop some of the romance/relationships and show us Kara out doing some reporting, I'm sure they can get some interesting story-lines from that. And of course more Supergirl :) .
