Well after to have watched this 3rd episode, I think the right title would have been "Hypocrisy" or "False Pretense" than "Blurred Lines".
Between Lena, J'onn, Nia and William Dey, we are well served/completely immersed in lies, deceptions and
hypocritical attitude at the risk of tiring viewers. Besides, the best proof that something is wron since the beginning of this season is that audiences are slowly but surely falling and as the episodes until the next crossover have already been shot, there is no possibility to correct the direction already taken.
- J'onn's storyline, although intriging ends to be boring. Plus, since the last episode, it hurt the well-established reputation of his character, the one of a man incapable of coping with the hard reality of his action and who in addition, doesn't hesitate to drag in the spiral an innocent and very sensitive young woman in the person of Nia).
- Lena's storyline, which continues to completely destroy her character (even if I can understand her bitterness and hurt after the betrayal she suffered from her best friend for 3 years, her reaction is exaggerated, unsafe and worst dangerous for her and for people around) -> writers spent a long time to show how Lena was more than just being a Luthor and now, she acts as badly as her brother and mother... even if her motivations are different ;
- Nia/Brainy's relationship which was supposed to provide some cuteness and humour but instead, tends to annoy viewers. That being said, Nia cannot ask to Brainy to be himself one day and later reproaches him to act in excess , especially if he was never taught to do so) ;
- As for William Dey's storyline, it is as annoying as useless (as his character).
Anyway, keeping secrets tend to promote the problem instead of resolving it. That and the lack of communication.
Next to that:
- Some people think Kara goes against her moral for Lena..., maybe but she is not aware of it and then as James told her: For a friend, we are ready to do anything to help her/him.
- I was surprised to see that civilians could also easily enter the morgue to see a body/read the autopsy report. And all that without being supervised by a doctor!
- About James Olsen, I note that a woman who had undergone intense military training, has been able to put KO the Guardian before injecting him her poison. He who used to feel invincible in his Guardian's suit, he surely didn't see her coming with her fists and her footwork!
-> I read that the next episode will be the last with Mehcad Brooks/James Olsen. FINALLY. Seriously, I ended to pity the actor
And to end, I wanted to make a small correction: In a sequence, Lena refers to rue Serret which would give an overlooking on the Champs-Elysées. That is all wrong! Rue Serret is in XVth (15ième) arrondissement of Paris, while "the most beautiful avenue in the world", is in the VIIIth (8ième) arrondissement =>
a little more than 4 kilometers / 15 minutes between both adresses. Without forgetting that you have to cross the Seine and
knowingly, this is not the best place to buy pastries like pains au chocolat!
