I really enjoy this show. It's casual, easy viewing. I can watch it while doing other things. I loved the Sanvers storyline, and I adore Lena Luthor. I'm heartbroken but not mad about the Sanvers storyline ending, especially as long as this doesn't erase Alex's sexuality. But here's my point: I love Katie. I love Lena. I love her portrayal of this character. But HOLY HECK is her accent spotty. Can we please, please work on this?
Oh and what’s with the James and Lena nonsense? The two have no chemistry (no one has chemistry with James) so please writers, stop forcing that romance on us!
A lesser show would've dealt with Floriana Lima's departure by killing Maggie. This storyline was tasteful, well-executed and true to the characters, the relationships and the show. Kudos to the writers
I really enjoyed the episode despite Alex and Maggie going where I expected. Time to let Alex just kick ass now. She has had crying scenes for what feels like every episode since coming out.
Great episode. Drunk Lena was amazing but so sad. She just needed a hug. I got Morgana vibes. The binding between these two is awesome. "You're bad at hiding things from me Kara", well, a guy who only saw her once knew it so it's time for you Lena. You're one of the smartest people there, you have know. The bonding between Sam and Kara is great. I love the path this is going and how events will bring up conflicted feelings.
I'm glad they ended Maggie and Alex relationship like that. Drama-less. This is the best way to go. It sucks, cause I liked their relationship, even more if the writers had known what to do with Maggie besides simply being Alex' girlfriend. But playing the devil's advocate, at least they're gonna use Alex for the actual plot.
I get how Lena was feeling but she showed poor judgment. What was she really thinking? She showed up in Edge's office with a gun to confront him? His accomplice could've simply killed her alleging that a crazy woman just threatened to kill Edge. She just likes walking into danger just to be saved by Kara.
I like this Edge guy. I mean, he's a scumbag but the actor nails it. He looks menacing but I'd like to develop him beyond being a bad guy who likes being bad. So far, he's the reincarnation of the forgotten Maxwell Lord. A rich evil guy, though he's up to something worse. He poisoned children to make Lena go to the dark side and, when everything else failed, he put her on a cargo plane. That escalated quickly.
What's up with Lena and James? Please, don't. I guess it's too juicy for the writers just to ignore it.
Sam is way to likeable. That couch scene was awesome, cheesy, but awesome. She's such a great addition to the show. I really enjoyed seeing them investigate together to clear up Lena's name. I don't want her to be evil. Since she doesn't know she has powers, maybe she'll be manipulated into being evil.
Btw, I loved Lena's National City University! I want one
Big props to the, er, props department for the smudged-to-heck wine glass Lena was drinking from when Kara came to check on her. Such details are often glossed over in more polished shows like this, and this particular one added a pleasant touch of reality to the moment. The episode overall was all right; though I feel like the show hasn't quite figured out how to get the best out of Katie McGrath, which becomes more noticeable when the episode leans this heavily on her. I wonder if it might have something to do with her appearing to struggle a bit with the consistency of her American accent. Which is a bit frustrating, given how a "UK/Ireland boarding school upbringing" handwave would have been consistent with the character's backstory, and might have solved the problem.
So... It is. Sanvers is officially over. I really hate how the writers did this, could be better, but i keep the hope that Floriana will come back to the show.
That Kara-Sam team pro Lena was amazing. Great story and brilliant performance of Katie. I enjoyed the storyline but I have one complain, that wird, inexistent, forced "attraction" between Lena and James. Dear writers, please, STOP that fake "James game" no one on the cast has chimistry with him, let it go.
Anyway, the episode was a bit sad but a great one in the end. See you around Sanvers fans.
I think the way the writers dealt with Maggie’s leave was horrible. The whole baby plot was boring and stupid. If kids are that important to Alex, why did she never mention them to Maggie before they got engaged?
I've been putting watching this episode off all day. I considered not watching it at all. But in the end, I decided to just get it over with. Like ripping off a band-aid.
Now, I knew this was coming, of course. The rumors have been circulating around Tumblr since long before the season started. I knew Sanvers were going to break up. I knew Maggie was gonna leave. And in a way, I feel like I've tried to detach myself from this relationship because if I hadn't, I would've spiraled straight into crippling depression. I've tried to push all my love for this ship into a deep corner of my mind and lock it away. Just a self-preservation mechanism. It's been semi-successful. As I'm writing this, there are no tears in my eyes. However, there is a cold, horrible emptiness spreading through my chest. I'm not even sure if that's better or worse anymore. At least when you cry, you get a sense of relief at some point. But this? I will carry this around with me and it's not going away anytime soon.
I've shipped a lot of ships. There have been dozens upon dozens of couples in all forms of media whom I wanted to get together and be happy forever. But no matter how many there are, each and every one of them is unique. Each and every one holds a special place in my heart. Each and every one has made me laugh and cry, and daydream, and squeal while reading fanfiction at ungodly hours. Sanvers did more. Sanvers gave me hope. Sanvers helped me come out to people in my life. Sanvers made me believe that one day, I might have an epic love story of my own. Sanvers got me through some very dark times. And for that, I am forever grateful.
You know what the saddest thing is? I truly believed they would make it. I mean, I hope all my couples are endgame, but with Sanvers, I was so sure. I don't even care how this happened anymore. Whether it was Floriana's decision or the writers', that's irrelevant. What matters is that Maggie's gone. And with her, a piece of my soul that I will never get back.
Goodbye, baby girl. You deserve all the love and happiness in the world. I hope you'll find it.
P.S. I really loved the rest of the episode, by the way. I thought Lena's storyline was great and Katie McGrath was brilliant. But I'm not in the right mindset to talk about it in-depth right now. I need a 70-hour nap. Or a drink. Possibly both.
Never expected I'd feel this way about Supergirl, but every other scene in this episode made my eyes well up, both happy and sad tears. The acting from the women is next level, they're so talented. Really love the friendship and team up between Kara, Lena, and Samantha.
I have said it before, I'll say it again. WHY do people get engaged so quickly omg? Without even talking about the most important topics, like kids, desired job, dream future, etc.?! And then they are sad/confused when it doesn’t work out… man.
I liked Alex & Maggie, but this was plain stupid imo. Yet it was still a better choice from the writers than killing Maggie off. Glad they did not go there. We really don’t need more dead ladies on TV, especially not gay & of color… I know they needed a storyline to write her out of the show, but that whole kids dilemma happens in real life, too. And I really don’t get it. If you are about to get serious, talk about these topics! And don’t get engaged before you do! And even more important: don’t get married if you don’t agree on these topics. Sure, some people change their minds, but basing a marriage on that hopeful thinking is more than stupid.
On another note, stop with that whole Lena & James thing. It is not a thing. It’s so forced and I agree with all the other comments… James doesn’t have chemistry with anyone, as mean as it sounds. So leave him single. Please.
I get that this new girls probably gonna turn evil, I think I’m ok with it as long as Lana stays Kara’s friend for now, I like her though
well, here we are. i'm broken.
istg i'm punching the next man that makes lena sad
It was obvious that it would happen but I thought it was kind of a fake-out that the lead poisonings were not the result of the device - that would have been an actually interesting/deep issue, doing something designed to save people and then it has bad consequences. I also thought it was weird that no one actually ever made the point that Lena saved the world by dispersing that lead - it was all either "she's evil because kids are sick" or "it wasn't actually her fault." I mean, even if it had been due to the device, sure it sucks that children are sick now but otherwise everyone would have died right then and there?!
It’s been a while since I didn’t like an episode of Supergirl like this one! Looking forward for Sam getting to know her skills!
It does seem as though every time I see Adrian Pasdar, he's playing a bigger eviller jerk than last time, and increasingly convincingly so. Nathan Petrelli (Heroes), Glenn Talbot (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Nolan Burgess (Colony), Morgan Edge (Supergirl). Almost like he's refining... something...
Machiavelli would be proud, the relationship between the 3 girls I like
So...are we supposed to cry for poor ol' Alex!? You know, usually when a woman wants children she goes get herself a friggin man. It's that simple!!!! Its not like Africa children die of hunger or thirst...lol.
Lena drama... who cares!!??
Can the writer maybe like, stop using the old "She's a Luthor" plotline? It's getting boring and not creative. Also, Kara should just call Lillian and team up with her again to kill Edge

I know some people think the reason for Sanvers breaking up is unrealistic but honestly it does happen. I was the Maggie in that situation. He wanted kids one day and I didn't. It happens to a lot of adults. I only wish my breakup was as cathartic and mutual. It's been 6 years and I still have resentment towards him for other aspects. Some wounds just don't heal. It's just refreshing to have a different storyline for wlw on TV. Fed up of the same old!
Really enjoyed the Lena plot this episode and her struggles. The friendship between her, Kara and Sam is great too. Super hyped for the Reign stuff though!
Also stop trying to make Lena x James happen. It's not a thing! That guy has no screen chemistry or ability. Just stop.
