Weird ep, was weak at times but finished strong. Just hope the mind wipe lasts more than one ep, preview giving the vibe that by the end of the ep the status quo will be restored.
Either Alex keeps her memory wiped, or she gets it back but has to leave the DEO. Either one is a change in status quo.
I really hope they recorded Alex(highly unlikely) before the memory wipe because I can already picture the fractured relationship drama once she finds out Kara is Supergirl again.
Did they just stick horns on the dominators and call them a new alien? Looks like. So far this episode does not have me entertained, especially after the first half of this season.

I thought it was a solid episode that ended strong

Pretty sure they're still going the Lena experimentation route. Unless they end up combining the two.
This Alex/Kara stuff with the wipe is great.

I think it's just this episodes super problem. The Lena stuff mentioned above seems more likely
Alexa is probably going to end up siding with bootleg Waller and hunting down Supergirl.
But yeah, Jimmy is too goodie goodie. They'll end up with him flirting with danger, probably just about to go through with it (after a lot of buildup) but someone will walk him back.
Russian Supergirl being dead and harvested for parts would be an interesting twist. I was starting to get shades of season 2 with "Cunning and thematically interesting villain being ditched halfway through the season in favor of a physically threatening but ultimately boring alien."

Supergirl is executing the arcs format far better than Flash lol
That would be interesting!
That's cause all these arcs are actually interesting.
-Mind wipe: Great.
-Alex/Kara post wipe relationship struggle: Great.
-Lena's experiments: Great.
-Jimmy cover up: Great.
-Clone Supergirl: Great.
The only thing I'm iffy about is whats-her-face's origin story, but that's whatever.
Plus Liberty's back in the spotlight next episode? Gimmie.
Flash has.. the Nora/Thawne stuff and everything else is terrible.
Yeah, he's obviously calling Lena. I'm just wondering if she's dead and they go your route or Lena saves her, or attempts to, and uses said knowledge to advance the Elite.

Finally a reveal with someone that makes sense. I have been getting sick of these masked heroes just showing off who they are because the person hurt their thumb. This actually helped the person, made sense, helped with the plot and feelings of both people.
Bingo. The first reveal in years that felt earned and worthwhile.
I really liked this episode. The Alex stuff is very interesting. Even if they find a way to return it to normal some day, this can at least give us some good moments.
I really enjoyed that episode. It was a little slow in parts, but it was really good overall. I wish they would move the Red Daughter/Black Kryptonite Supergirl plot along a little bit faster, but it was nice to slow down and tell this story. I was also glad to see they didn't immediately fix the situation with Alex. Revealing that not knowing Kara was Supergirl makes her a little more like that alternate version from the crossover was really interesting, too. I wonder where all of that is going to go. (As a small side note, just like The Good Place, I don't know why they didn't have her make a video or whatever to herself. If shit got bad enough, they could show her a video saying something like "We agreed to have J'onn erase part of my memory. It's okay. etc etc.")
Also, I was quite relieved and a little surprised to see my question from before wasn't either of the things I was worried it was. From earlier in the thread:

So yeah! They were going somewhere with that. Nice!
Don't remember if they stated it outright, but there's no chance they erased her memory. If anything, J'onn just blocked it with some psychic barrier stuff. Obvious reason being that she knows part of her is missing and she's not all there mentally. It's like if someone removed something from your desk. You know something's missing, but you can't put a finger on it. Were your memory of even getting the item erased, you'd never think something was supposed to be there to begin with.
That being the case, there's no need for the tape since she'd remember consenting once J'onn restores it anyway.
