Oh my! The uniform is almost identical.
Theory.
Win is a stand in for a posthistorically certain death of Brainiac 5.
Dose him with enough nanites to fool the casual sensor, that any rampaging AI looking to exterminate all other AI, would cross Brainiac 5 off their shopping list, after they had decapitated Winn.

They mentioned Madagascar as the site for tornadoes, a superstorm and a tsunami in the previous ep (Let it Reign). Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like a "job for Superman!" After hearing how someone in the 31st cent terraformed some place called Zune by creating a genesis event at the planet's core, Alex also seemed to suggest if you / Reign went thru the Earth's core you'd end up in/near Madagascar which I assume was why things were so bad there.
(not quite true on "my" map, but it sounds good. https://www.antipodesmap.com/ don't forget to plug in Madagascar ! )
Superman wasn't the only one mentioned this week, so was Clark. I liked how James admonished Wynn to keep quiet about the secret handshake, almost as if he expects Clark to show up in the 31st cent. I wish M'onel had reassured Wynn that he would not be losing J'onn by going to the future.
I wonder if Miss Tessmacher will be the one to spill the beans to Kara and/or SG about Lena's secret Kryptonian projects. She was so proud to be working with Lena and Supergirl a few weeks ago, she could be the conduit for said information next year.
I also wonder if we will see Sam in the future or will she give up L-corp and move away.
I don't think the DEO is a done deal, or why would we need Brainiac to hang around.
This season was a big let down, most of the reason are already mentioned, but Erica Durance looks great!
This show's about Supergirl, not Superman; having him be in it would take away her thunder and agency, and be rightfully seen as letting a male character usurp a female one (Mon-El, Guardian and Martian Manhunter being in the final battle is just their being allies of Supergirl and little else.)
The DEO's not a done deal as Alex's now the DOEO (my term for Director of Extranormal Operations, similar to the real-world term DCI [Director of Central Intelligence]), but obviously, J'onn being on sabbatical is.
I hope that Lena isn't following after her brother with this use of the Harun-El, and that she quits while she's ahead, but it seem she's headed for the Dark Side in some way.

Then we could all argue why Supergirl doesn't come help him out.
I agree that Mon-El was one of the best parts of the season. He's always been one of my favorite Legionnaires, and I think he was done justice both in the writing of the character and the acting.
Wouldn't the second Kara clone or whatever she is at the end be the result of this shows "Flashpoint" because of the time travel? Maybe she is a Kara from the timeline were they all died or something. Otherwise I found the episode to be okay but like mentioned above the action felt almost by the numbers. I'm glad Mon-El is leaving because I grew tired of that soap opera. I am curious about J'oon being able to name is replacement and also his idea of making non-lethal weapons. Just how much authority does he have? Doesn't he have a boss he answers to since the DEO is a government agency?

The DEO is a secret Government Agency which is either self funded or working off a black budget of misappropriated (stolen) money from Congress.
It doesn't exist, and might as well be a rogue group of criminals, since they answer to no-one.
I thought that Kara Too was a Time Remnant, but it's far more likely that she was split by the harun-el into opposing nationalistsn from Krypton and Earth, just like Reign was split by the harun-el into opposing nationalists from Krypton and Earth.

I was half expecting the figure to turn out to be a Bizarro version of Supergirl.
I doubt they'd be so imitative of a sister show's plotlines. More likely it has to do with the Harun-El, given that it was the substance that split Reign and Sam apart. And given that Lena is still experimenting on it, meaning it will play a story role in season 4.
It's worth noting that Smallville introduced a substance called Black Kryptonite which could split a Kryptonian into good and evil halves (perhaps inspired by the synthetic Kryptonite from Superman III). The concept was later adopted by the comics. Harun-El is a black rock from Krypton, which would make it Black Kryptonite.
The second Kara-Zor-El is a split made with the rock that Lena has, like Sam was split into two (Reign and Sam)
If the plot was appropriate, then absolutely true. This season made no sense given the Kryptonian elements of it. There was an episode where Supergirl almost died in one on one hand to hand combat. Superman not being there would have made sense in that it happened quickly. But while she was in a coma, the idea that he wouldn't even visit her is ridiculous and get involved directly with Reign is ridiculous.
The idea that Superman would steal Supergirl's thunder is an insecurity. Supergirl already has had Mon-El, J'onn, her mother, and others help her out. Yes, Superman is the top dog, but I would love the idea of a show that focuses on Supergirl, with her more famous cousin there, but in the background. You can't have him save the day every week, but to ignore his presence is just as bad.
I'm glad they had Superman dealing with Madagascar, but even then, once that was done, the more immediate threat was Reign and he should have been there.
In the first episode that Superman appeared, they handled it well. Superman was there as the top hero he is, and Kara's mentor, but Kara did NOT take a backseat. It made sense because there were multiple villains and they helped each other out.
That's sexism, and a chip on the shoulder. It's completely untrue. Maybe we should look at Supergirl as a hero, not just a "female hero."
Well... this season had them both go searching for bus metas/worldkillers, with the big baddie ultimately absorbing all their powers, with someone from the future coming back to change some things, and with a subplot about a character losing their mental faculties...
But still, I doubt they'll be doing SuperSavitar.
Maybe, instead of accusing each other of sexism, we should remember that any lack of Superman appearances on the show has very real world reasons. The producers can't just put him in as they like, they need DC Entertainment's approval for each and every appearance.
Now, while there are exceptions, DC usually does not allow for two live-action versions of their characters to co-exist in different mediums at the same time. Superman's appearances in season 2 fell between the release of BvS and JL, so a time when DCEU Superman was considered dead. Now, after JL, DCEU Superman is alive again. It stands to reason that DC simply doesn't approve any more Superman appearances on "Supergirl" (or any other DCW show, for that matter).
So, yes, sure, sometimes it would make sense to have Superman on the show, and he's not there. But that is not the fault of the show and it's producers, and certainly isn't caused by some gender-political agenda.
