OTOH, opportunities for Dean Cain awesomeness. I'm liking him with the beard.
Well, you guys got your Chocos.
And James Harper...known to comic readers as the Guardian!

"Manhunter"--
Flashback opening: Someone's been watching Predator.
Hank: "People get--disappeared for this" --nice that the show acknowledges the government will remove perceived threats. What does it say when a supporting character is the most interesting of all?
Kara/SG: Revealing she's Supergirl to Lucy. Ridiculous. More of the soap opera jealousy from Lucy.
Interesting how young Kara was having trouble balancing her abilities in public, and why she wears glasses.
James: Note his barely concealed resentment at Cat expecting him to answer her phone. So his spine is not completely AWOL.
Lucy: So she helps, but that should not erase the fact she knows Kara and James have a connection beyond anything she can provide. Still, I will not be surprised if Kara falls on her sword again, and encourages James to chase after Lucy.
Now that she's the head of the DEO (which was obvious from the photo released last week), I smell more drama.
Harper: His stasis field. His memory. You knew both were not going to last.
Daddy Danvers: So he killed original Hank while asking J to take care of his daughters. Makes sense.
Alex: So, she's an atheist ("jailhouse conversion"), and wait--in just three years, she goes from club drunk to some world class agent who fights aliens? BS.
Smythe: "Four-eyed bitch in a kilt." Well, knew where this is going.The fake email is such a "confusion" gimmick from decades of sitcoms / soap operas; this series has enough plots running as it is.
Her Banshee break out was sort of lame.
Cadmus: I always predicted this would play a role in the series, however, if the series could not scream it enough, Superman does not know about Cadmus--translated, the movie-centric character will not be making any full (read: real) appearances on this show, not matter what happens in the world.
With Jeremiah at Cadmus, will he turn out to be friend or foe?
Don't be surprised if Lord has--or will have a connection to Cadmus in a way that makes Supergirl wonder why she did not stop him months ago...or in typical soap opera formula, SG will need him to help in some way--
Solid episode. Few wasted moments.

I thought so.
Maybe he'll get a job as a beat cop...take some scruffy street urchins under his wing...wander by a costume shop at night and find a new calling....
They did establish that she had some sort of science background.
Or...cyborg?
(Or maybe Cadmus has made thousands of tiny Jeremiah clones....)
Good thing J'onn and Alex are on motorcyles...if they want to get to Cadmus, they might have to go through the Wild Area....
Or become pissed off, turning into the Berlanti-verse's version of Crossbones. That's what seems to happen when a military guy has his ass handed to him in conflict with superheroes.
A science background alone does not an alien-fighter make. If she was in DEO research, that would be plausible, but her bony ass being some super agent in only 3 years?
Possible.
Now that--a single clone--as a tool to deceive or set up JJ & Supergirl may not be far fetched.
Unless I heard wrong, he does indeed know about it. James said it was the reason for him not working with the government.
Yes, Superman knows of Cadmus but does not know its location.
That is one of the really curious things about this series. Even though the premise is build on Superman existing for many years Kara is encountering many of his villains for the first time. Livewire, Silver Banshee, Toyman. Toyman surprised me because he was a criminal years before BUT had no involvement with Superman. I am assuming they did that because otherwise Jimmy should have known everything about him. Same goes to Red Kryptonite and a Bizarro.
So here Cadmus exists and Superman and Jimmy do not know where it is. Which raises the question of what and how they know about it? Cadmus was actually introduced in the Jimmy Olsen comics.

I maintain that dropping that in the series is another way of screaming he will never show up no matter what disasters happen.
That's the problem with much of Supergirl's long history: the TV series has to borrow often from Superman villains or plots because historically, she never really had a serious, "hot" rogue's gallery, or great story lines. Looking back to the Silver and Bronze Age of comics, there just was not much there (even in her Legion appearances).
James described some of what purpose Cadmus serves, and he expressed it like it was the last thing anyone should ever face.
I wonder if TV Cadmus will lead to Lucy gaining powers as in--
I wonder if Siobhan is a metahuman, and maybe Barry will help explain the concept to the DEO gang (since I don't know if we've seen any of those in this world -- Livewire's a human with powers, but she got them through Supergirl's unintended intervention). Anyway, I just hope she's more competent as a supervillain than she was as a work enemy. Currently her evil-plan success rate rivals Wile E. Coyote's, which doesn't make for a very challenging antagonist.
I think they actually put Harewood in prosthetics for the J'onn scenes in flashback, rather than doing it digitally.
Honestly, this didn't work that well for me. Harper was too one-dimensional a baddie. And how did Lucy know Alex was lying? I guess anything would be a letdown after last week. The flashbacks were nice to see, though.

They heard about it from some "Hairies"...or maybe a group of newsboys....
When Hank and Alex find Cadmus, I hope we see Dubbilex and the Newsboy Legion.
And if Jim Harper comes back as the Guardian, that will be awesome.

I'm calling it now: Alex and Hank/J'onn find a teenage clone of Clark Kent when they infiltrate Cadmus, as well as a cyborg-ified and Kryptonian-superpowered Jeremiah.
BTW, I so totally wasn't expecting to see the scene where Jeremiah gives Kara her glasses outside of deleted scenes on the eventual DVD, since said scene was cut from the Pilot and is something we've known about since mid-November.

If they do, I can see him become a recurring character rather than a one-off. They can't have Superman but they can probably do Superboy.
We already knew that Daniel DiMaggio, the actor who played Young Kal-El in "For the Girl Who Has Everything", was going to be a recurring character, so it's "informed speculation" on my part that we see him come back as a cloned version of Clark created by Cadmus.
