"Miss me?" Not really to be honest. I suppose I'm in for the rest of the season, but if it continues down the same road it's been about pushing real world political agendas and smear campaigns that basically ruined the first portion of this season, then I'm bailing. Either way, it's got to improve a lot between here and the finale to get me to want to return in the fall for the next season.

I enjoyed Laurie Metcalf as Winn's Mom, but I thought the villain/Toyman copycat in this episode was kind of lame. Just some delusional person who was obsessed with Toyman. And Brooke Smith wasn't exactly the best actress to cast as a big villain.
That attack inside the DEO was kind of cool even though it was heavy CGI.
Didn't realize that Martians can develop Alzheimer's/Dementia.

If it was this easy to trap Supergirl/Superman...........................
Of course it's within a year of getting to Earth vs the last few hundred years.

I didn't understand how Supergirl couldn't break out of a giant plastic (or was it something else) wrapper. Seemed very odd, especially since Mon El simply knocking it over allowed her to get out of it. Seems like the writers conveniently forget Supergirl has super powers when the need arises due to poor storytelling.

Supergirl getting trapped in that giant toy packaging was about the only thing I really liked in the episode.

From the way she was acting inside the package, I thought maybe she was suffocating, but you're right: there's no reason she shouldn't have been able to break out of it. It'd have to be filled with kryptonite to weaken her, but then that would have meant the new Toymaker was expecting her and built it just to hold her. Dumb.
When it comes to these shows and powers you really just have to go with it since everything really would be much easier than they show.
