Me and my brother have followed Supergirl since season 1, same as we have with every superhero show out there on CW. We have both complained all season how the show is too much on the nose with it's political commentary, despite myself being left-wing, I was finding it too juvenile and simplistic at times and fully admit I was ready to give up.

But to find out Lex has been behind everything the entire season was something I didn't see coming, whether that's good writing or a massive miss on my part, I don't care, today's episode is great. I'm not comparing Jon Cryer to Gene or Michael and their versions of Lex, they all were different takes on the same character and I'm really enjoying Jon Cryer's, ruthlessly unapologetic, charming and very manipulative and always one step ahead.

Although he's typically a Superman nemesis, by extension he is one of Supergirl as he is all Kryptonians.

I think the show has been clever showing us how easy it is to manipulate people who are already angry, scared and feeling betrayed and let down and Lex fed into that and sowed the seeds of discontent not because he agrees with them, but because it needed to happen for his plan and he has played Ben Lockwood like a puppet and is pulling every string, I bet he was even behind the President giving Lockwood the position as Head of Alien Affairs, he wants this conflict to happen, but the irony is lost on Lex that without his meddling and schemes, none of this would happen so he makes the wildly theoretical a reality.

It's classic Lex and I admit I loved every minute of today's show.

It's been crying out for something different, clever and captivating, I just hope it finishes strong too, especially if next season is the last one.

Definitely looking forward to next week and that's something I haven't said in a long time about this season and the show in general.

I seriously do not get why the episode has such a low right. It deserves to be in the 9's at the very least. And I read some of the 1 Star reviews, and they're just plain wrong about this episode!

I love that we finally get a Red Daughter episode! The Red Daughter is being manipulated into working for the bad guys, and I think when/if she ever fully figures this out, she'll turn on them, and help Supergirl. As we saw, she knows that Supergirl/ Kara is a good person. But also, based off of the promo for the next episode, she'll do some major damage to Supergirls reputation.

I was very skeptical about Jon Cryer play Lex Luthor, but I'm actually loving his Lex! Which is truly surprising to me.

I liked the time jumps, and how they hinted exactly where they were when they were showing them, but apparently it confused some people. Those people must not be paying much attention when watching the show.

It is never pretty to eat crow, but I will eat it and enjoy it tonight.

When Season 4 of Supergirl started there was this huge air of political propaganda in every episode, there seemed to be no clear story, no Big Bad this time around just agendas, but boy, were we wrong? There was so much more than that, we should have seen it coming from the writing on the wall and the arrival of Ottis and Mercy Graves, everything that has happened this Season is the work of one of the most despicable and horrible beings in the whole Arrowverse, Lex Luthor.

Jon Cryer reprises his role from last week, and he truly shows how deep his hatred for Kryptonians is, and how far and low he is willing to go to get rid of them. Cryer gives a solid performance, even better than last week's. This time around he is more callous, more ruthless, less emotional. Last time he had Lena fooled but this time around he doesn't need to fake anything. Superman's greatest adversary has arrived with a bang.

In this episode we learn that the clone of Kara Zor-El that was created by the Harun-El has been trained as a weapon by a communist regime who themselves have been played like marionettes by Luthor, who has trained his Red Daughter to become the weapon that proes to the world that aliens are a threat, and he is the savior the world needs, and he will spare nothing, no one to claim vengeance on the Man of Tomorrow, and his cousin, Supergirl.

I rate this episode 10 out of 10, keep em' coming.

Well it seems to me that this episode and the ones before about Kaznia and the Harun El SUpergirl, are promoting red scare. I am really dissapointed about that. Supergirl since 1st season promoted social matters, which I loved. But this last season, I don't like the way it's heading. Saving children of "liberty"? Go against the Elite?
