Pants!
That was a nice solid premiere that did its job in setting stuff up before shit hits the fan in two months.

Kara told Lena too late damn. I didn't want to see but the Lena heel turn has happened.
Kara in those dresses tho.

I thought they were going to show that Lena had a romantic history with Andrea to open the door for her and Kara. The romantic tension is back like crazy.
Other than that it was a fine episode for Supergirl, as usual it's Kara/Lena and J'onn and everyone else is boring. The technology is bad!! messaging is extremely unsubtle. Boy Lena has an AI that's cool with killing people, that's definitely not going to be a problem later!

Lena heel turn to the surprise of no one! Only got to see the last half, but that Kara confession scene was great. I'll catch up tomorrow.
The issue I have with the suit's mechanics is that it should come up only from the hand holding that glasses and go over the rest of the body in one motion ending with the left side. Not the way they did it where it was all of a sudden on the left as well and met up in the middle. But eh, I'll deal.
Also, "Pants!" lol and I laughed Alex's "How do you guys get dressed so fast!?"

Solid episode back, really loved the didn't stretch the will she tell or not and she straight up told her. Loved it.
Not bad. The Kara/Lena scene was really well done. Doubt this will be as good as last season but here's hoping.
Terrible episode, bad acting, laughable action scenes, relationship drama, Lena inexplicably going full on cartoony Luthor, yup its a CW show. That shit with Martian's brother made me fucking laugh so hard. Really sick of Brainy.
Doesn't really give me hope for the rest of the season.
I haven't been too crazy about Titans overall but every time I catch an Arrowverse episode it makes it look like Citizen Kane.

Watching this and rewatching Smallville at the same time,
God damn is CatCo bland as all hell compared to the basement of the Daily Planet.

Couple things.
-What was that dialogue? Woof, that was some bad writing. It was nearly as bad as the CW gun control episodes (which were, of course, immediately forgotten because we love guns).
-I have complained about this before, but holy shit am I tired of the "friend found out they are a superhero and is furious about being lied to" plot. Look, I hate lies more than anyone, but if IRL my friend told me they were a superhero, my responses would be 1) "that's dope!" and 2) understanding 100% why they kept it a secret. If nothing else, it's for my own safety. This whole "she betrayed me" thing. ugh.
-Likewise, I have been saying for seasons that they better not make Lena evil. Hate hate hate. >:(
Now the good stuffs:
-I liked Brainy explaining himself. He and Dreamer are cute. :3
-New suit looks great. I miss the skirt, but the new suit is def better.
-J'on's brother could be an interesting storyline. I feel a little like after Miss Martian and his dad, this is just sort of retreading, but I'm interested to see where it goes.
-James leaving means he might get some interesting new plots.

I mean, I guess they could be writing him out, but I think we would have heard about that by now.
Good start to the season. I get the impression that Lena's putting up a bit of a front. Those hurt feelings aren't going to just go away because Kara apologized and came clean. She's still totally pissed off though.
As far as the non-compete clauses, I don't think they'd hold up in court, but Andrea has resources to tie up anyone in litigation enough to bankrupt them if they tried fighting it.

I'm not thrilled. lol
Lol, my gf said the exact same thing to me after that scene. She's a paralegal so she was kinda like, "wut?"
The threat is enough from someone as wealthy and powerful as she is, though.
The new boss kept saying that won't work as a journalist ever again
And I'm not a lawyer but my immediate thought was " there's no way in anywhere that's legal and no way any company can get away with that"
I even googled and yep you can't make people unemployed for very long because people need to eat let alone "ever again"
I hope by the end Lena doesn't turn into a Lex, mainly as it's overplayed and plus we already have a Lex running around. I wonder when he is going to reveal he is still in play.
I don't want her to forgive Kara right away, but be nice if she wasn't just plotting behind her back on how to get her revenge lol

She's going to be evil for a bit and then goes back to her regular self, and then realized that she doesn't need any of this anymore and just remains neutral.
Lena isn't evil, she's just going about things her own way, not the goofy Supergirl way.
I'll take Brainiac-5 over Brainy any day too

loved that lena being super high level at holding grudges was used as a plot twist xD
And yeah the sexual tension in that coming out scene alone created more shippers
edit: I took the "never work in journalism again" as a "will say bad shit to every employee on earth and no good journal will hire you"

That AI and contact-lenses-beaming-wireless-virtual-reality-directly-to-everyone will never come up again. Mark my words.
I think it's going to play a major role in the story.
AI: "Hey Lena should we kill Supergirl"
Lena: "Hahaha no AI, we don't need to kill her, but I'm glad I have someone reasonable and logical to talk to"
Lena: "Hahaha no AI, we don't need to kill her, but I'm glad I have someone reasonable and logical to talk to"
Kind of annoying that Lena is going evil, and for such a small reason too. It reminds me of her in Merlin. That "I'm evil" smirk got so tiresome episode after episode.
The new suit seems like it was going to take quite a while to actually fill out, whereas in previous episodes without that tech she changes in a flash.

The time to suit up may vary based on the plot. Seems to me that she suited up slowly because Lena and her were having a moment.
Alex is right again, lol. How do they all suit up so fast?!

National City is assumed to be in southern California, and non-compete clauses are illegal in California.
"When Martians disown a sibling, we erase them from every part of our lives, including our memories or something" or whatever excuse they use
Haha, yeah. They'll definitely handwave it somehow, since that line is in the trailer.
I wonder if this is having the Smallville issue. "oh we always intended her to be a villain...but everyone wrote her so well as a likeable at-worst-anti-hero style character.....too bad we're keeping to the original plan"
My understanding that the ending of the entire "Clark tries and fails to break Lex out of Bellreve before he has a mindwipe" Smallville episode was written was because people were liking how Mostly-good Lex was written too much, and they weren't allowed to leave him good due to DC meddling, or something?
(I remember reading somewhere that originally Clark does go back and save him but the ending was changed.) I still have conversations with some friends around whether Lex would have become a villain at all had Clark not suddenly decided to not go back and save him.
Betting we end up with a similar situation with Lena.
Don't think I am going to enjoy this heel Lena storyline. At least she told her in this episode.
Decent premiere.
Lena continues to be the best/most interesting character in the show. Honestly surprised that for once they didn't drag out a subplot, and actually had Kara tell Lena the truth. Well granted this has been a long time coming for several seasons now, but at least it happened in this season's first episode. And it really was a very well done confession.
Despite that, I was ironically pretty annoyed that it got resolved that quickly... until it wasn't! She's still big mad, a surprising subversion given how sincere Kara was. Of course, now there's the other issue of Lena being really close to going full villain, which is something I never wanted to happen. I prefer when she straddles the line between being good and ruthless, and hope it remains that way.
As for Kara's new outfit, again, PANTS! Such a blessing, the skirt was always stupid. Though I do have to agree with those who once said that her new look could use some more red on it. It does admittedly look a bit off.
Lastly, lord help me regarding both James and his sister, easily the worst part of the main cast.
