User blog:Xandermcc/Supergirl S2 E8: Luthors doing Luthor things

Was gone for a bit on a vacation to S.T.A.R labs. (At least where they film it) Now i am starting on the four part crossover event. Everyone excited?

So we start with an exclusive Danvers family tradition of saying what they are thankful for. (That is everyone's tradition though so...) And Alex and James are completely immature on who wants to reveal their secrets. So Mon-El steps up as the nice person when everyone else is being selfish by comparison. It would work better if they wrote him like this through the whole show. (+1) Next a mysterious portal shows up and giving a slight glimpse to the Flash's later appearance. +1

Kara and Lena have a talk about the totally-not-evil-mother known as Lillian. And she has a totally-not-suspiscious phone call. (Seriously, you were better at fooling us into thinking you were evil before Lena -1)

So Mon-El walks into a bar and then battles Hank Henshaw in a brief scrap up. Causing all the aliens in the bar to die. Very intense for this show, but it still worked. +1

Now they have Mon-El and Kara act like kids with crushes on a school playground. Are the CW really aiming for that young an audience? -1

Now Kara figures out that her parents were not all good as people. So we are kinda closing off last season's big message on the fact that Kara's family isn't all good. Getting J'onn to be the one to really get her out of her funk and to realise she can be better which is a good story. (+1) Another good one is how J'onn is progressively turning into a White Martian. +2

3/10

So Cyborg Superman hates the TSA because he is made of metal, but Supergirl stops him from destroying things because of it. They also have another cool breach caused by the Flash. +1

Maggie got shot in the chest again. (I think the only reason they do this is because they want to rush the sexual tension too with more than just kisses) Also it isn't just Alex and Maggie that get more rushed romance dialogue, Mon-El and Kara do too! Well guess what? I'm taking both down a peg at once! -2

So Lena has been having a developed story with seeing if she will be evil or not. This episode, she decides she is going to be evil... or so we think. +1.

The heroes gear up and J'onn believes this is his final battle. So they stop the alien invasion. The Hanks fight with J'onn embracing his monstrous form for one final attack. +2

5/10

Mon-El tries to get himself out of the situation he put himself in with that kiss by pretending it didn't happen. He still wants to escape responsibility and Kara thinks that is hot somehow. -1

So Maggie thinks that one heat vision blast was going to mean death for her. Even though it seemed to just be a simple burn. So they feel like going into a relationship because life only lasts so long. They basically just pretend a wound was bigger than it was just to rush a plotline. Lazy i say. -1

In the end however, we see that the mysterious portals lead to the appearance of a familiar superhero from S1. THE FLASH! He asks Kara to help with a threat on his earth. Kara just accepts because she is that daring. +3

This episode gets a 6/10, however the Flash has arrived asking for some bonus rounds before having me stop his alien invasion.

Lena feeling conflicted over Supergirl's trust of her. +2

J'onn being back to his old self. +2

Cisco being a jerk to Barry even though Supergirl viewers will not get why and will just see Cisco as a jerk. -1

This alien that was just instagraming Medusa. RUN YOU IDIOT! -1

The final score is 8/10. Enjoy the next part of the Invasion crossover next time.
