I suppose we're to believe that all of the bad guys who saw James' mask fall off agreed to keep his identity a secret?
During their heart to heart conversation, I kept waiting for Lena to notice not only how much Supergirl looks like her friend Kara but how much she sounds like her, acts like her, and has the same mannerisms and expressions. (At least when Christopher Reeve played Clark Kent, he didn't just wear glasses to disguise himself; he also changed his hair, mannerisms, posture and speech patterns.) It really makes Lena look stupid that she hasn't figured it out. Or has she? Maybe the real reason she's pissed at Supergirl is because Kara hasn't been honest with her or trusted her with the truth.

Meh Episode. I don't like the actress playing Worldfucker. I did like MM's Dad helping the little girl deal with trauma.

I won't even get into the James Olson story line but...
Since when did Lena know that Mon-El was back? She stared right into his face with Supergirl standing next to him and didn't put it together that she's Kara? She knows there's a Legion too?
I could have sworn Supergirl was going to heat-vision that girl's hand off.

I really hope the reason Lena is pissed is because she knows Kara = Supergirl and that Kara hasn't told her yet. Especially since the issue of divulging secret identities had come up with James/Guardian.

Since when does Mon-El have super-speed? Previously all he really did was show that he's really strong and can jump really high (needs Legion ring to fly). Now all of a sudden he's doing all sorts of shit he never did before.
Talk about lack of continuity- this show is probably the worst of all the CW superhero shows- probably because the writers know nothing about the comics. But still, the show doesn't have to be so sloppily written- it's almost as if they take us for morons or something...
