Ok...
For me...
This was the best episode of the season.
I know some have a problem with the Catco love stuff, but I saw no problem with it, in that I didn't see that it took time from other story lines. I have had that complaint with 1 or 2 other episodes, but not this one.
Scene by Scene...
**I have loved any and all scenes where it is "Alex and Kara" being "Alex and Kara" sisters...love those scenes, and I happen to love Cruellers myself, so I totally understand why Kara was upset that she had to settle for Powder donuts. Alex should have gone to another Donut shop. That is only a slight problem for me...
I also love that the writers are not writing Kara as this "perfect, I love everyone all the time kind of character"...she's real, and though she knows that she should forgive Hank, she can't. And YAY, Supergirl sleeps through her alarm too...
**Loving how "Cinnabon" is showing that she isn't "all that", and Kara is showing her up in some respects...because as we know she IS the better assistant. I think it will be very interesting to see the transition into the Silver Banshee. "I could throw her into space, I dream about doing that..." I would have loved to have seen that dream.
**Loved the sparing between Jonn and Alex, great scene. It was very poignant when Alex asked about him losing his relationship with Kara. I was wondering the same thing.
Moving on to the Apartment scene with Indigo...
**Laura is doing a fantastic job as Indigo....my only question from that scene was....what happens when she scans someone? not that I wanted her to do that just so I could see.
**The only thing I could have done without was the "proposal scene"...kinda weird. But, loved the Non/Indigo dialogue. "Candy Crush...." haha
**Poor Winn, he has no idea what he has gotten himself into, but I am loving how they are using his computer expertise. I hope they can find something more for James to do, other than being a "puppy dog" following Kara. I think this episode DEFINITELY headed him in the right direction. My hope is that Kara will not fall right into his arms, I think keeping him at arms length until next season is the best way to go.
**LOVED the banter in the FOS. I have no idea what any of the "easter eggs" are all about, but it was fun reading all of the fanboys and girls geeking out over them. AND, I loved that they answered the question of why had she not gone to the FOS before now.
**The Lucy/Kara scene was beautifully written, short, sweet, to the point and really made me like their friendship, I hope that they build on that before it comes crashing down with Super Woman...
**The fight scene between SG and Indigo was well done in a very small space. The only problem I had was that I would have liked to have seen more of how Supergirl gets out of Indigo's grip...it seemed far to easy.
**The flying sequence with the bomb was excellent, I loved looking down and seeing the landscape below SG and the bomb. AND COME ON KARA, HEAT VISION? SERIOUSLY?
This was actually the first time I have felt an actual HUGE THREAT that put me on the edge of my couch watching it on TV on ANY CB TV series EVER. Loved it...
**I think that the scene showing how Kara's pod came to earth was all that was needed, the scene at the beginning episode IMO was not needed, I would have much rather had Kara throwing "Cinnabon" into space as her dream. Loved the line "You are just a glorified Windows Vista"....hahahahahahahahaha WAS THAT RED KRYPTONITE?
**Ooooooh Winn....
**I really liked how Kara was still jittery from stopping a Nuclear Bomb, usually the superhero does something HUGE and walks away. Nice touch...and Lucy (Jenna) did a great job in the scene with James. I really like her character...
**I'm not sure I can put into words how I felt about the scene with Jonn/Alex/Kara... Chyler showed some acting chops that are Emmy worthy....and I don't know if anyone else has noticed. But the hugs on this show are REAL. They actually HUG, tight, with emotion....Melissa's ability to show emotion without saying anything is great to watch. I often wonder how often writer's actually see a scene played out EXACTLY the way they saw it their head when they wrote it...I think in this case, they did.
**Nice easter egg in the last scene....
Overall 10+ for me. It's a shame that more people didn't watch this excellent episode, I hope they catch it on VOD or CBS All Access, because it was excellent.
