The show: Kara comparing her relationship with Lena to her relationship with William who the show pushes as a potential romantic partner, spends an entire episode with a dude who can bend reality wishing to fix her relationship with Lena/ Also the show and every HetTM there is: they're just fRiEnDs!!! / I am as dead inside as Alexs and Lenas characterization
Hahahaha you mean you didn’t enjoy the William-Lex-Winn show last night? ;) To quote JJ himself: they’re just FRIENDS!
Alex was in the synopsis yet her and Brainy’s Big Story was resolved in one minute. Not to mention the ugliness of her finally quitting the DEO because Lex now runs it - not because of the horrid things the DEO has always done and she’s been a part of for the entirety of her career. So cheap and easy, it grates my last nerve. At least Brainy gets to have some integrity and make a courageous choice to help the cause? Sigh.
Now The Luthors are joined at the hip and a package deal for this Leviathan storyline? This current arc retained Lex but threw out basically everything that made the S4 Luthor-Super-Danvers story so compelling. It’s crawling along at such a snail’s pace, too. Imagine 10 more episodes of this.
For the A plot: Winn was as relevant as the lawn furniture for two seasons before he officially left, and I’m afraid the sentimentality of game nights and karaoke at the bar with the OGs isn’t quite enough to carry this story. I wish I was more moved by the Toyman stuff, but it felt like yet another detour when the post-Crisis stories should be 150% focused on the fallout for the main characters.
