I'm still in a blissful fugue because Kara laughed so hard, that it turned into a snort, in the pilot.
Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

How easy was it for Kara and Mon El to hack into the servers
They didn't really hack anything, Kara just guessed the password.
Tips to increase security:
1. don't use a common word for the password on your top secret files
2. don't do a speech indicating that word is important to you while talking in the presence of a reporter
Uhm, but how's it different from Clark Kent?
Superhearing plus x-ray/microscopic vision... kara can report on any story in the world without getting out of bed.
I think its time to remove the guardian arc from the show, Its not bad, but this is a Supergirl show, i'm not interested in seeing what adventures he gets up to if it takes time and momentum away from the main hero of the show and its disruption of the plotline. The Guardian arc would be better suited and explored if it got its own show.
Because the promotional/advertising division of L-Corp is three doors down.
Fav lines this week.
Lena: What's your kryptonite?
As for why she should know that term or why civilian Kara should know it... I would simply point to Metallo's fluorescent green heart, the one Lena supposedly smuggled to him in prison.
CFO Lady: Did I tell you I was a Black Belt?
Lena: Did I tell you I'm a Luthor?
Also loved that last flying elbow t took the CFO out for good.
I'm confident the Lena hasn't a clue who Kara is and that makes me wonder if Rhea will try to break up the girls by spilling those particular beans to the CEO.
I can imagine the conversation between Kara and Lena re: Rhea. "She's Mike's mom and she makes YOUR mother look like the mom in "Leave it to Beaver" or "Ozzie and Harriet".

I never said it was different. The same applies to Clark when he uses his advantage over others in his profession.
No he doesn't.
Kal is constantly taking a dive to create the appearance of fairness.
(Or at least that's what that Superdork Chris Reeve, seemed to be doing, which was excellent. Very few of the other Supermen have ever even tried a little bit to differentiate the characters... Even though Clark scooped Lois to get his job at the Daily Planet in '78.)
"Sigh"
I'm glad Win didn't misplace another girlfriend.
I was beginning to think that he was collecting them in a basement somewhere up north.

I disagree with this. While Kara might have been correct, Carr's point is that journalists have to operate under certain ethical guidelines. It is actually quite relevant considering the state of journalism today. You can't just publish uncorroborated articles and still maintain journalistic integrity. You also have to consider all viewpoints. It is not a journalists job to be an ethical crusader but it is a journalists job to uncover the truth and to print the corroborated truth that has been fact checked and vetted. We'd all like our journalists to be vigilante like heroes, but that leads to Breitbart news rather than the New York Times. The path to the dark side is easy but becoming a true Jedi is much more difficult.
Yes. Kara even admitted that Snapper was right about her earlier mistake. As a superhero, as someone trying to save lives, she felt she had no choice but to publish what she knew without going through proper journalistic channels, and that was the right call in terms of lifesaving -- in that particular instance. But it was a case of doing the wrong thing for the right reason. As a general rule, when it comes to her responsibilities as a reporter, it was wrong, because sometimes that kind of haste will lead to falsehoods being published and harm being done -- to the news outlet's credibility if not to innocent people.
It seems strange to me that the DEO had no options to release the information Kara put on her blog. They have direct access to the president, after all. Kara could have even asked a couple DEO agents to corroborate her story as anonymous witnesses. Alternatively, Supergirl could have gone on a tv cable news show to make the announcement (leaving "Kara" and Catco's reputation out of it).
As I said at the time, the dilemma made no sense on the face of it. The DEO is secret, yeah, but the President's Alien Amnesty Act was quite public. I'm sure there are plenty of non-secret government departments or branches involved in carrying it out, like the INS or the State Department. So there was absolutely no reason the government couldn't have issued an announcement about the threat from Cadmus.
She "said it" because hackneyed writing required her to, not because it made sense or was supported by what we saw.
Honestly, Carr is a "hostile workplace" lawsuit waiting to happen. Tell me that he's an old friend of Grant's that she decided to give a hand up because she buys that he took rehab seriously this last time and I'll believe the character.
I'm going to disagree again. Yes, he's over the top. But he is much more Perry White than Laurance Fishburn's version in the cinematic universe.
Hmm, it's hard for me to see Snapper as a Perry White analog, because he isn't over the top. Perry is the epitome of over the top, your archetypal grouchy, yelling boss with a heart of gold. Snapper's generally a lot less animated, more grumbly than shouty. But then, I saw Cat Grant as a Perry surrogate despite her very different delivery, because she was a mean boss with a heart of gold, using her meanness to push her subordinates to be their best (which I think is a terrible, abusive way to manage in reality, but I can accept it as a fictional trope). So I guess Snapper's the same way, basically. But I still think he's more Lou Grant than Perry White.
I guess for me, the archetypal Perry Whites are Julian Noa, who originated the role on radio, and John Hamilton, who played him in the '50s TV series. Also Lane Smith, whose Perry in Lois & Clark was quite revisionist in some ways (a Southerner and obsessive Elvis fan) but otherwise true to the character. Stanley Ralph Ross (the same guy who wrote some of the best Batman '66 episodes and developed the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman) played a pretty good Perry on the '88 Ruby-Spears Superman, though I was never too impressed by George Dzundza's Perry in S:TAS. Moviewise, Jackie Cooper didn't do much to me, and Frank Langella, like every other actor in Superman Returns, underplayed the role too much. Fishburne could easily be a great Perry, if he had better material.

I winder if the costume are basically his royal robes as prince? Maybe he don them JUST before he has to be sent to the Phantom Zone ???
Possibly - just curious that, I think Wood said he'd seen the costume ages ago, and he asked Winn to make it back at the mid-season break, but we've yet to see a proto version of it at the very least. I wonder if the decision to keep him on for next season pushed the costume debut back further.
I have no opinion there, other than that Fishburne behaved like an adult who might supervise other adults in some sort of professional setting, while Carr is a caricature of a rageaholic fast-food shift manager.
