Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen confronting the White Martians, Kara claims that she missed "a left turn at Albuquerque", referencing a classic line by Bugs Bunny.
- GoofsDuring an argument, Maggie's father mentions the border wall being built to keep Mexicans out of the country. This is obviously a reference to the real-life presidency of Donald Trump, but within the show's continuity, his comment doesn't make sense: in "Resist", the penultimate episode of season two, it's revealed that President Olivia Marsdin is literally an alien from outer space, and earlier in the season in "Welcome to Earth", she signed an executive order offering aliens such as herself full citizenship if they so desired it. If she's that tolerant of extraterrestrials, it seems unlikely that she'd be so intolerant of legal aliens as to resort to such an extreme action in foreign policy like building a wall on the border.
- Quotes
Alex Danvers: I don't know why I thought throwing a lesbian wedding shower would curb mom's cheesy antics.
Kara Danvers: Nope. Gay, straight, whatever, Eliza will not be stopped until she digs up every bridal shower game since the beginning of time. You know what? You're gonna love Bridal Bingo.
Alex Danvers: Kill me now.

Featured review
shark worthy
I don't really care for overused cliché jump the shark (or under the bus, throw shade, etc) but the moment Supergirl drives into cave cranking Brittany in her 57 Chevy and asking directions because she took a wrong turn at Albuquerque (GPS problems) I just had to shake my head and say "is this not the most pathetic attempt to cater to every demographic on the face of this earth?" I get that certain communities are a target of their affection (wall, really, stick with the storyline and try to remember you live in a fictional place with fictional prez) but I do think people enjoy the escapism of cheering for a superhero to do good, fight injustice, etc, not have agendas and perceived current events shoved in their faces with a plot line as weak as any daytime drama. Not sure how this got such high scores but am sure the suits know their audience better than I, just wish show were a bit more worthy of Melissa and her Supergirl.
