That image is kind of strange to me considering her very awkward role on Homeland.

Mr. Mxyzptlk is the first step to getting Bat-Mite onscreen.
Bite a pillow and think of England, it'll be over quick.
Hmmm.
Johnny Thunder too.
That could be cool.

^ I was about to mention her. She's Kevin Smith's daughter. He directed this episode and it's based on his unmade 'Superman Lives' script.
So, did Alex comment on Kara's choice of clothing? I stepped out for a second and didn't catch what she said. What was up with that outfit anyway? It's not her usual attire. Nice to see her back at the paper though. Seemed like she forgot about work the last few weeks.

Wow how did I miss that tidbit
The title "Supergirl Lives" is a nod to that, but I there's no similarity in the script. That was a loose adaptation of the Death of Superman arc in the '90s comics.
"Supergirl Lives"
SG/Kara: Sooo, she shoots a van, causing it to flip over...with mere humans in it? She had to know that action had the potential to kill all inside, but....oh well, its Supergirl!
She's all about pushing Mon-El into being a hero, yet she--hypocritically--whines on and on about the Guardian....I guess her "tolerance" for new heroes is reserved for beings from her own "neighborhood" in the universe, or perhaps she only accepts heroes if she has some sort of control over them.
James/Guardian: I'm enjoying the idea of Guardian Oeasily the most interesting part of the show), but all elements seem to be hard-telegraphing his fall--lethal to himself or another (not Winn) in the near future.
I can almost see a Guardian v. Mon-El conflict story for one reason or another, with SG helping to hurt the masked man spiking her jealousy / hatred...then "ohhhnooo!!"
Winn: Almost punching his ticket. A reckless move that has to come back to haunt him, considering his newfound backbone.
"I am not a red shirt" Not in this episode, but some rumors suggest someone among the cast might be....
Mon-El: Forced, predictable "cutesy bickering" pairing all to place Mon-El in a position to bring the "hero" out of him, and the equally forced CW-style romance.
How long will it take for his secret to be exposed?
Alex: She's all about her personal life, then she decides she's concerned about her missing sister at the expense of everything else?
Why would Alex take an untrained guy to another planet? Aside from plot convenience (Winn's B story), there's no sense in taking him there.
Roulette: One wonders what the end game with her is--being a glorified super-being / alien fight promoter / slaver should go somewhere in the series. She still comes off as a one-off villain despite a couple of appearances.
NOTES:
The series borrowed a touch of the JL "War World" plot (the kidnapping part), but it would have been entertaining to see the episode go all the way in that direction.
Ah, the character building / past reference / wink to the audience--
Supergirl: "Oh man, I hate these guys!"
Indiana Jones: "Nazis...I hate these guys!"
Considering the level of alien weaponry used, there's no realistic way Alex and other humans should be able to deal with / prepare for a conflict. They should be completely overwhelmed...but...
The only way the Mon-El business will not be so "I know where that's going" is the man to be trained by SG, gain her trust, only to turn on her for some season-ending shocker. Possibly his S3 exit from the series.
Grade: C+

Mon-El...not strong enough?
James is the stronger male personality.
Won't argue with that.
Did I miss something in this episode? Where is Jonn?
There he is.
There he is.

The air on that moon is poisonous to Martians.
But he could have worn a bullet proof Hazmat suit, and didn't.

Jimmy's need to be a superhero makes him look like a child.
He seemed like a much stronger person in season one.
She's referring to Streaky the Supercat, right?
You win!
It was an ok episode. Again where this show really shines is the character moments and chemistry. The plot here left a lot to be desired and could have had bigger stakes to it. I also think I'm ready for them to drop the Gaurdian storyline. heck if they got rid of James to bring back Cat I would love that.
I hope the on again off again thing won't be a common occurrence. After binge watching Arrow and the whole Olicity thing, I am almost fearful I will see the same thing with Sanvers. Maggie is good at her job. Let's see more of that. I do appreciate that she knows Kara is Supergirl though. That's a step in the right direction.
