Why everything is so confusing, there's six episodes left and we don't actually know what the big bad is trying to do, it's like there's no big bad, at the end of the last season they said "leviathan is coming", well it's not arriving yet let me tell you. And with Lena, what the hell is happening it's so ooc, it's an amazing character and they are sidelining her into a lab while her brother takes advantage of her weaknesses, it sounds like abuse to me, they should fix this instead of treating a character like that so bad. Not to mention the very own supergirl, pushing her and william so desperately it's kinda hard to see, like if you want to put someone with the main character, you HAVE TO DEVELOP THAT CHARACTER, not just introduce, make him treat her bad at first and then force the other characters to force kara to get to a date with someone she barely knows (sounds like a requirement being a jackass to kara at first btw) and that "romantic" undertones they made when supergirl and william shared scenes together, SO, it's romantic when supergirl and william share a scene together and there's romantic music behind, BUT it's just two besties who love each other so much and miss each other so much, when it comes to lena and kara, seeing pictures of each other while romantic music sounds behind huh. BTW NIA NAL IS EVERYTHING, SHE DESERVES MORE STORYLINES, HER CHARACTER IS AMAZING AND HER POWERS ARE THE BEST.

The Lex plot is still tiresome and though Lena he has been convinced she is helping mankind, it appears more like she is being held hostage by her brother and doing his bidding and doesn't even realize it. I agree that the VR world is as addictive as any drug, is unhealthy, and is becoming a villian unto itself. Is it being used to create minions for Lex, Leviathon, or both? As for Kara and William, lets give it a rest, ok? At first, I thought this was an odd couple. Why? I'm Team Mon-El like most people but let's be realistic. He's gone and Kara needs to move on with her life. And does the fandom not remember Back From the Future: Part Two? Kara had decided to go out with William in that episode. She literally walked up to his desk intending to say yes but he gave her the puzzle for her grandmother and she realized she would have to begin the relationship with a lie so she turned him down. It wasn't because she didn't like him. And he was very respectful (though confused) when she turned him down and very kind to her after. When she went out with him later, she simply changed her mind. We all have a right to do that and how many of you HAVE actually DONE that?! She wasn't forced. And also, let's consider Melissa Benoist's recent confession regarding IPV. She participated in the Women's March in Washington. She has worn "Feminist" t-shirts. I believe she would never participate in writing that would compromise her personal belief system to that degree and especially regarding that subject matter. You people who keep accusing the writers of pushing a "forced" or "sexual harassment" agenda are wrong, IMO. And I also think the accusations disrespect the show and Melissa Benoist in general.

We did not see Lena plotline avance, they stuck in the same thing its getting boring, what the hell was that William/Kara thing? Forced and unnecessary. I haven't seen what leviathan is capable off, lex is sucking Lena character development and storyline. Alex don't have arc and dansen doesn't exist anymore. Nia don't have an arc. Kara is getting weaker, she's becoming so poweress physically talking. What the hell? We have 6 episodes and Kara and Lena don't talk anymore. How are they gonna fix this without forcing? They wasting time and storyline.

I loved this episode!! What a beautiful classic #Supergirl scene when she talks that lady down! It reminded me of the 'Human for a day' in season one where a powerless Kara talked a gunman down.. it's just so amazing how they r going back to basics. I love this version of Kara coming out again. Great DanversSisters content too! Wonderful episode. Thank you.

Great episode. Loved dansen. Happy that kara is taking a chance on dating.

Reviewing this episode in the context of International Women's Day, this episode is disappointing at best, and irresponsible at worst. The writers and creators of this show have conveyed a message that despite saying no to a potential love interest, and expressing doubts to friends and family, this does not matter. This concept is quite concerning, especially being portrayed via their main character.

Over two episodes, Kara has discussed her uncertainty regarding William with her friends and family and instead of listening and offering advice, the writers have had her support network push her into saying yes, and in a highly OOC way particularly for Alex. Even worse, despite being told no, William did not accept rejection, and not only did the writers not even try to hide this, it was flat out celebrated as a good thing at the end of the episode with laughters of 'were my texts too much'.

This was very uncomfortable to watch. Too often women are put into uncomfortable situations and do not feel they can reject their male counterparts. Watching Kara being reduced to this too-kind, she-must-mean-yes character, particularly on International Women's Day is quite frankly abysmal and the show should feel less than proud.

In the context of season 5, this episode FINALLY felt like the only one that was moving the plot along. This season has been slow and all over the place. Too many times we've seen Supergirl, the 'Girl of Steel' being powerless against whatever villain the writers pluck out next and frankly it's boring. She is Supergirl for a reason.

Look i get that 13 was kind of a fan service, a thank you for the years of support but this episode of lena still being under lex's thumb and kara being forced on another relationship she instinctively dont care about is just frustratingly bad.

So, what is the main plot of this season again? Are we gonna fight Leviathan or are we just have to watch Lex bully Lena a little bit, Lena being frustration a little bit, and then SUPERGIRL wonder if she want to like the guy (not feeling, just plenty of think about like/dislike), and her BADASS AGENT SISTER just want to have chat with her sister and meet her girlfriend like 2 sec and then gone. Ahhhh is there any other hero in this show? I don't know, who's dreamer? What's her day job again? You mean she working with Kara and William? I'm sorry if a several reporters doesn't do report then what kind of reporter are they? Also, is Brainy function well? I thought he's a genius, can predict almost anything, what is he doing in this season again? Last and foremost, WHEN WILL LEX LUTHOR BE GONE? THIS IS NOT SUPERMAN SHOW!



wait, I forgot, what's green martian doing now again? I thought he has a brother? Is the plot have been threw away already? I forgot, my bad. WHAT THE HELL IS THE PLOT IN THIS SEASON SERIOUSLY????

Nothing says happy international women's day like treating all your female characters like crap, right?

This episode had potential. It really had! We could have gotten Supergirl actually guarding Andrea Rojas. We could have gotten Lena finally realizing that what she's doing is wrong and start her road to redemption. We could have gotten Dansen having actual screentime that is more than 2 minutes. And we could have gotten Nia being the amazing reporter that we all know she is. But what did we get? Supergirl being weak and fawning over a guy she refused to go go out with. Dansen having screentime comparable to a camera flash. And Lena being so far gone that she believes in words coming from her brother who repeatedly manipulated her, used her and tried to kill her.

Watching this show it's so clear to see that men are the majority that makes decisions regarding storylines. And if a woman came up with the William/Kara storyline, I feel so sorry for her deep-rooted misoginy. What kind of message the show wants to send to it's viewers going with the same kind of storyline for the THIRD time? Especially, knowing how the other two times were badly received. Who thought it was a good idea to write this? Despite getting rejected, the guy still bombards the girl with presents and texts until the girl caves and agrees to go out with him. Don't you see how wrong that is? NO SHOULD ALWAYS MEAN NO! And on top of that, having the sister of that girl push her towards the guy, despite not even knowing him that well? A mess!

Kara has lived through so much trauma this season alone but she never talks about it. She lost her mom for the second time. She never talks about it. She lost her home planet for the second time. She never talks about it. She lost EVERYONE during Crisis. She never talks about it. She practically lost her best friend and is on a war path with her. But she NEVER talks about it! You know what she talks about? A guy! A guy that had been a jerk to her (I don't care it was a cover-up and different earth). A guy she doesn't really know because they shared almost no screentime. A guy who she rejected but felt guilty and pressured enough to finally say yes. Supergirl is supposed to be this great strong kickass woman but I don't see it.

Also, if they wanted to put William and Kara together they should have done chemistry reading between Staz and Melissa before hiring him because they have no chemistry. Zero. I feel second-hand embarrassment watching their interactions. Staz seems like a great guy, the cast loves him and I feel so sorry for him because they did him SO dirty with this role.

Lena... My heart breaks for the character because this is not the Lena we all know and it's so clear that her storyline is written purely for drama purposes and is so ooc that it's sad to watch. I feel so bad for Katie who was practicality isolated from the main cast and thrown into this mess of a storyline. The whole non nocere arc could have been easily solved in 5a; we would have gotten Lena being crazy angry at everyone for a few episodes, her going through with the project, Superfriends stopping her and then in 5b she could have gotten her redemption arc. Instead we have this dragged out plot that feels very repetitive and just not thought through. Lena needs someone to wake her up and help her but she has NO ONE because everyone abandoned her as soon as things started to go bad and I am so disappointed with Superfriends for doing that. She is so far gone that she trusts and believes in words coming from her brother. The same brother who tried to kill her. The same brother who put her down her whole life. The same brother who used and manipulated her multiple times. But she is in such bad place emotionally that she'll take any type of reassurance and praise, even if it's coming practically from the devil himself.

I am so over the Lex storyline. Why did he even come back after Crisis? What for? He does nothing except from stealing screentime from others? He's supposed to be this amazing guy who everyone likes on this new Earth but we don't see it. It would be fun to see more of his dynamic with Supergirl, him being the boss and her having have to work for him but we don't see it. It's like they dropped him to Supergirl after Crisis just to hold him over until S&L starts filming and it feels so unnatural and forced.

I wanted to see more of Dansen. They are such a cute couple but we see so little of them! The dumpling scene was so cute and Alex rescuing Kelly was amazing but I want more! You can't boast about having LGBT rep and then give us crumbs.

Andrea Rojas... It's good to know she's still Acrata. I thought the writers forgot about that. I'd love to see more of the character because she has a lot of potential and Julie Gonzalo is simply just gorgeous to look at!

I have no expectations for this show anymore. Even the next episode doesn't seem so exciting. We will get a dash of Dreamer storyline but I can bet that the majority of the episode will be focussing on Kara going out with William.

What's the saddest is the fact that this show proved they CAN write good episodes. The 100th episode was amazing and I just don't get why can't we get content like this every week? It's like they want to make us angry and frustrated on purpose.

I feel so sorry for the cast because they really do deserve better. They are one of the most talented and well-knit cast on the cw yet they are treated like that. So sad...

All in all, I'm disappointed but not surprised. This show really is on its downward spiral and it almost feels intentional because to be that bad you have to put some work in it. I guess, with the new Superman show coming, the showrunners just stopped caring about Supergirl if they can have their golden boy.

I feel so stupid because every Sunday I tune in expecting the show to do better and every single time I get disappointed.
