!st off, Ive watched this series from its beginning...Melissa is a powerhouse actress who can summon Immense amounts of feeling and emotion when needed...The current story looked interesting..Ive always thought Brainiac in this series was ridiculous..A cartoonish caricature that Could and should have been so much more..They have had an episode before that Hinted a a dark and powerful side to this character but it wasnt followed up ...Until now....The removal of the inhibitors have made this character immediately become more interesting, he dropped the buffoon act and now has the potential to be Dark if the writers want that....we will have to see! the other thing I wanted to mention was that this seasons changed the look of supergirl, not only in uniform but also with crazy amounts of makeup and flaming red lipstick that Really looks out of place, especially on a super hero..This is something that they are doing to Almost All the female cast..crazy lipstick and TONS of makeup, I mean so bad it looks like they are applying it with a spatula used for sheet rock spackling..enough already.. they are gorgeous looking female cast that really doesnt need to look like they are being made up like drag queens...the fight scenes ,as usual, are truly awful...only the beautiful DEA director girl does well..everyone else look very badly trained..
it would help this show immensely to get a proper fight choreography teacher to improve what they are doing.. anyway, the new brainiac story looks cool..

The Brainy's were the show-stopper!
Loved them ALL. Math Jacket was Awesome! Wish we could keep Yellow Boots Brainy and Meaghan's Director Brainy. Having Prime go green was especially great. Kudos to Jesse and Meaghan.
Blake Neely's score for this episode was phenomenal. I didn't really get it in the live viewing, but during the rewatch on TheCW app I had headphones. Powerful. I'm frustrated that Mr. Neely's name isnt attached to the show in the epusode guide. I think Music is as important as costume or effects.
Did they switch writers?!?!

Wow, what a great episode. I am genuinely surprised. I have enjoyed this season for the most part but the back half of this season has more potential than I could've ever anticipated. Lex Luthor is back and better than ever!! He will save this season. Brainy shined in this episode as well, with his multiple doppelgangers and his own personal conflict. They introduced bottled worlds and such just like Brainiac in the comics. They also introduced the Anti-Life equation. The writing was actually good in this episode and rivals shows like The Flash and Arrow. In the first half, I definitely held Batwoman and Supergirl to a lower standard than the other shows but if things continue to be as good as thus episode, Supergirl may be almost as good as The Flash and Arrow. I am very impressed with this episode and I hope for the best going forward.
Oliver ! U have saved this show !

Jesse is a GIFT!

Jesse Rath is an excellent performer and I was SUPER glad for him having another opportunity to stretch his acting chops and really shine once more!
And whenever he gets to perform with his sis Meaghan? That magic doubles! Glad they tossed another LGBT crumb by having her have a wife after seeing the most recent episode erased a different wlw character's sexuality:/
Would've been 10/10 but the show seems to be dropping the ball on Kara's fight for Lena that we were promised but 9/10 is still pretty epic!
