Re: DC Supergirl Show
She didn't win because she's stronger. She win because she wanted it more. She was fighting 28th the strength of her convictions, and in comics that's what counts.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
Hard for me to think Kara wanted it more than Clark wanted to stop Zod...but like I said, it's her show so it makes sense. And the fight looked awesome...like almost Lexi Alexander directed good.

Also, this season has not been really great for me, and I thought I was pretty anti-Mon-El. But when he had to leave the planet I got all misty for some reason... :/

Yeah SG fell to the bottom of the CW-verse to me...with Riverdale at the top, followed by the ridiculousness of LoT, then the much improved Arrow and then the mediocre Flash.Anna Raven wrote: ↑23 May 2017, 16:30Also, this season has not been really great for me, and I thought I was pretty anti-Mon-El.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
I only assumed Clark would be stronger because he's absorbed more yellow sun radiation than Kara has. I imagine there are plenty of reasons why she could be stronger though. If we assume a weird MoS/CW mash up maybe it's because Clark was born naturally, I think, and Kara was created through normal Kryptonian means and possibly be a "perfect" Kryptonian.
Also, the lead thing. Yes, they used an amount that wouldn't be lethal to humans. The problem is lead does not get filtered out of our system completely. Introducing more lead into the body, no matter the amount is a bad thing. The lead is also going to stay in the atmosphere which is going to severely screw some newborns over in the future.

Some social scientists argue that lead in our gasoline had a profound effect on a generation of Americans and gbe ADA frowns at just about any amount of lead in our system...so yeah, Kara screwed EVERYBODY

Re: DC Supergirl Show
Wasn't the post-52 explanation that Kara spent all those years without an atmosphere between her and the sun, so her cellular batteries built up a higher capacity? I think in the show she spent those years in the phantom zone, but it might be a similar explanation.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
The most important part of the finale is that Mon-El finally left Earth forever (until he joins the Legion of Super-Heroes in the thirtieth century)! He didn’t exit on a heroic sacrifice aside from giving Supergirl the okay to poison his species away. Mon-El didn’t even claim his responsibility to lead the Daxamite diaspora into an abolitionist age. While it’s good that he didn’t upstage Supergirl in her own show, it also doesn’t validate his flat “redemption” arc. It just reinforced that he was eating up valuable screentime that could’ve gone to better characters.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
Why was Rhea poisoned instantly while all her henchmen had time to teleport away?
Why didn't the DEO put Mon El in a sealed safe room prior to poisoning the atmospgere?
Why did the writers choose lead intead of a fictional chemical?

Re: DC Supergirl Show
Lead is the weakness of his race from the comics...it's actually a reason why Mon-el was put on stasis (lead poisoning) and released in the 31st century to join the Legion (this was of course done to replace Superboy in the post-COIE continuity...longggggg story).

Re: DC Supergirl Show
This season started and ended strong. I won't be super interested in season 3 unless the Legion of Superheroes is heavily involved. They've been teasing them for awhile but I have a feeling it will only be one episode. Looks like Doomsday is safest bet as big bad of next season.

You sure? They might skip it to avoid too many similarities to BvS

Re: DC Supergirl Show
I've seen rumors of Eradicator instead. I would prefer they do Brainiac but it wouldn't live up to the radness of Injustice 2. I hope they resist going for the low hanging fruit of Doomsday or Zod but I guess we'll see. I'm mostly interested in seeing the Legion future which I presume Mon-el was thrown into.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
An article I found on possible occupants of the pod. I've never heard of a couple of them. http://io9.gizmodo.com/what-villain-is- ... 1795452580
Also, is Cat back? She seemed to be settling back into her office, but I haven't heard anything about Calista Flockhart signing a new contract.
Edit 2: And I just got a chance to read EMP's recap and he had already found that article.

Does Lena know Kara is Supergirl or not? It seemed to change from scene to scene.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
I’d cut sulky Supergirl some slack if I cared for her romance with Mon-El & it wasn’t obvious he’d return.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
Dear sweet lord don't let Mon-El return. The same with M'Gan.
Which sucks, because I LIKED M'Gan. I just hated what they did to her.

Re: DC Supergirl Show
Dear Supergirl writers: You can’t just have characters say “I’ve never had a best friend like you, Sam,” or “Lena, literally everyone can see you & James have chemistry” & expect us to believe it. I know this show doesn’t know what to do with James after screwing him over for Mon-El, but this is a blatantly terrible pairing of spares. The timing is especially bad when it airs the same day The New York Times profiles SuperCorp as one of the most beloved ‘ships.
