It just reminded me of later seasons of Buffy and Angel where demons loose the 'hide in the shadow' bit and have nightclubs and stuff.

The Hank with poison blood storyline was wrapped up pretty quick. Its like the writers thought of it then decided to drop it after it was already being filmed.
I thought the same thing re: feels like Buffy. That shot if the blue dude looking out of his car, I was like "Clem!"

That has been bugging me all season, it really went from Men in Black to Alien Nation too fast.

He knew exactly where to go in unlocking the Medusa virus, the Fortress of Solitude.

The Eradicator would make perfect sense for Cyborg Superman's backstory in this show.

Wouldn't a weakness to lead make Mon-El basically as vunerable as any human to anyone with a gun?

Seems this was the HIGHEST rated episode of the season so far.
Although a lot of people were ticked off at the false ads that this was part of the crossover event.

I don't watch supergirl but I watched this episode because of the "crossover"... Should have just skipped it.

Actually, Daxamites are far more vulnerable to lead than humans. Unlike how they usually show Kryptonians like Superman quickly recovering from Kryptonite radiation once it's removed, Daxamites develop irreversible lead poisoning that is fatal. Unless you happen to have a 12th-level intellect around to cure them.

Well that would seem to make them a very shitty superhero on Earth.

I hear they find a cure for his lead poisoning in the 30th Century.

Mxyzptlk is Coming to Supergirl


http://supergirl.tv/mxyzptlk-is-coming-to-supergirl

That's correct! You read that title correctly! The jester of the multiverse, the trickster of the 5th dimension is coming to Supergirl for not one, but two episodes this season! Mr. Mxyzptlk was created by the one and only Jerry Siegel, back in 1944! His powers are undetermined but seem to rival even Superman's abilities! Before Crisis on Infinite Earths, the only way to get rid of Mr. Mxyzptlk was to make him say his name backwards or have him spell it backwards. That has lapsed in later iterations where the 5th dimensional being will simply set a condition or set of rules in which to play a game. What Mr. Mxyzptlk is doing on Earth 38 and what his intentions are for Supergirl are unknown but since we are going to see him in two episodes, this could be big! So far no actor has been cast for the role but look for Mxyzptlk to first appear in episode 13 of season 2!

Mr. Mxyzptlk is probably the most iconic Superman villain after Lex himself. Think Q from Star Trek but with a sense of humor.

So does this mean Bat-Mite is showing up on Gotham?

So finally getting to watch the crossover. All I have to say about Supergirl is "crossover?"

Congratulations to the marketing team though. Job well done there.

The episode shows it's comic roots with this "crossover." I remember several issues of company wide crossovers in the '80's that would end up with only a page or two dedicated to the main crossover title.

I think Supergirl's relatively late transition to the CW was the main factor behind the show being mostly left out of the crossover.

I think someone has been watching this show. The pic is from a costume party held this weekend. Yes, this is Kellyanne Conway.

Cat Grant may return for a short arc in the Spring


Question: Any news on if and when Cat Grant will make a return on this season of Supergirl? The show is doing great, but Calista Flockart is greatly missed! —Selene

Ausiello: As I mentioned in the latest #AskAusielloLive, Flockart is not currently confirmed to appear in any additional Season 2 episodes, but there’s talk of a short-term comeback in the spring.

She's all about girl power (except when it comes to her job).
