Just checked this episode out. Last week's was one of my favorites so this week was going to have a tough act to follow. It was alright, providing some backstory, some good and some I don't think was necessary (particularly how Kara met Winn and Kat). I do wish that they had replaced Harper with John Corben. I don't know much about Harper outside that he's a hero, but in this episode he was a bit dickish-I get why to some extent and I don't know if he will make that transition to hero or they just had him on here to namedrop.

I dunno, I think they should leave Superman at least a few of his own villains...
Damn. I just realized that James Harper is antagonistic in this Supergirl episode when Jim Harper/the first Guardian was heroic in Young Justice. I hope Supergirl does something better with Harper.
^The Guardian goes back a lot further than that.

What? I'm sure that somebody in this thread doesn't know that Luthor wasn't used on the Superman radio series....

And who says they'd want him as an action hero? If they do introduce a young clone of Superman, he'd likely be portrayed as a dependent of Kara's who has to be raised to hide his abilities until he's grown, as she was.
Well, that's unaware TV productions--they still think there's a subconscious revulsion / fear of snakes, so for a cheap "threat," a snake a trained man should be able to handle suddenly becomes "deadly."
Nor in the Fleischer cartoons or on the George Reeves TV series, for that matter. And he only gradually emerged as an arch-foe in the comics. I think it was a couple of decades before he even got a first name.
Luthor was, however, the first comic-book villain to make the jump to the screen, in 1950's Atom Man vs. Superman (with "Atom Man" being a nom de guerre for Luthor, even though it was the name of a different, more Metallo-like villain on radio). As far as I know, he was the only comic-book supervillain to appear in a screen adaptation prior to the 1966 Batman series.
I doubt it.
I don't.
Don't kid your self. I had the same reaction you did to the snake. I just didn't feel it was worthy enough to write a post about.
You're welcome. Glad to be of service.
I didn't know you could quit the military, become a reporter for a few weeks, then rejoin at your previous rank and position. Interesting. Oh, and then commit treason, shoot at a military transport vehicle, free a federal prisoner, and go back to work as if nothing happened.
I didn't like Eddie being an unreasonable dick, but he still had rank and legal authority. Young TV writers shouldn't try to write military stuff as if it was just a group who work together and can do anything they want as long as the boss doesn't find out.
Not really liking this turn of events.

Lucy's direct superior officer is her Daddy.
That BAM was the sound of my mind being blown. Can we have Saul Rubinek as Dubbilex...?
