Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

Finally watched this week's ep.

I was shocked that Kara just took Guardian's helmet right off while he was knocked out. Dammit, woman, there's a superhero code, ya know! :Klingon: And yet the evil scientist did NOT take Jimmy's helmet off when he captured him! :cardie:

I like the writing during the relationship dialog - they do write that well. In other situations, I still keep thinking "these actors are doing a better job than this writing deserves" :lol:

Winn failing to tell his government law-enforcement employers that he knew the location of a violent suspect in an active case, for his own personal glory, is probably a firing offense. In fact, it's probably a prosecutable offense. This is the kind of thing I don't think the writers do well - like, anyone who's ever had a damn JOB knows not to do things like that, and anyone who's actually had a government job with a classified clearance knows it's actually a crime.

So, the white Martian chick is considered so dangerous that she's kept in a super-powered-alien jail cell, but when she faints, they put her in the open-cubicle, glass-walled, unsecured clinic. :cardie: And Alex is also the medical doctor/scientist who runs all the tests on alien patients? They don't have a medical staff?? Yeah, yeah, conservation of characters. Bit of an eye-roller, though.

On a lesser note, my wife thinks they're doing Melissa's makeup more heavily this season. I didn't notice, but she thinks they're doing her a bit more glamorous than before.
 
Is there much of any background information on those two races in the comics? Did they ever co-exist in relative peace?
Their similar power set suggests they either have a shared heritage. But their apparently innate aggression and seemingly uniform appearance suggest to me something along the lines of a genetically engineered race that turned on their creators.

The White and Green Martians are offshoots of the same species and have been traditional enemies for ages. Depending on the origin story, either the White Martians altered themselves into a more aggressive form reflecting their warrior ethos, or the Guardians of Oa engineered the Martian race into more peaceful and belligerent subspecies. Or so I read on Wikipedia last night.

She already tried to x-ray him. Y'know she was like "oops, his helmet came off, my bad".

The internet almost made me doubt reality.

You know, conform to it's revised history of bad facts that didn't happen.

Grant Morrison did not invent White Martians in 2000 AD.

He just changed their name from Pale Martians to White Martians, who it seems have been around since the 1950s, telling early parallel racial stories to what ever has been happening out in the real world during the US civil rights movements.

Also (precrisis) there are Yellow Martians.

They didn't put her in the cell because she was dangerous, J'Onn put her in there because of his issues with White Martians.
The announcement of Sorbo was a big surprise for me. I'm a fan of Hercules and Andromeda, so I'm gonna get a big kick out of seeing him on SG.
 
DC had a version of Hercules who was at odds with Superman from time to time. It would be a real laugh if Sorbo played Hercules.

Same thing. J'onn put her there because his mistrust of WMs made him believe she could be dangerous. He hadn't yet changed his mind about her at the time she was taken to the infirmary. So one wonders why there wasn't more security on hand, at least.
