I actually liked this episode, and especially its portrayal of Kara. I thought I was going to drop Supes altogether, but in the end decided to give the first episode a chance together with friends. Pleasantly surprised with the writing, which is a far cry from the grotesque last season finale with its "You truly are stronger than even Superman, Kara!" Berlanti FINALLY remembered that Kara is an alien and her human identity is very much detrimential to what she is. I massively enjoyed all the burns Kara has given to Jimmy and Alex, Melissa managed to act it out much better than all the many whiny lectures she's been giving to other characters throughout Season 2. You know why? Because she actually had a point. It's just too bad the reason for this self-discovery came from Mon-El of all people, but I digress. Seeding Reign as a friendly bystander was also a nice idea.

My only complaint would be the damn Intergang characters. Intergang was namedropped last season, but this time they used the IG characters, but didn't even remember to call them that. Bloodsport wasn't even given a red bandana, Morgan Edge oozed villainy and evil from the first time he appeared on screen, not subtle at all. Sad.
