IN THIS EPISODE, #lames break up scene and a cacophony of farts... And Lena Luthor wears a Lady Suit. Slays the internet. SHOW NOTES Welcome back to another episode of What About Dat? TV RECAP AND REVIEW My names Jen I’m Sara We are so excited to be here today talking the most recent episodes of Supergirl. But first... Today we have a “WHY WYNONNA” UPDATE. Jen & Sara - And now it’s time for the Salty Supergirl Review... EW..EW..EW (EFFECT) Sara - It’s been five episode since we last recaped Supergirl. We are currently deep into the second part of the Season. Supergirl has returned, and story and plot feel stronger than it has in years. I want to start off with Menagerie which created the first part of our most recent ark. This episode introduced the villainess Menagerie, a Jewel thief who happens to have an Alien snake logged in the back of her neck. In this episode we see rise of the Sons of Liberty as well as the gradual formation of the Elite. A group of anti-facist terrorist under the direction of Manchester Black. Sara - The most important thing to happen in this episode was break up of James and Lena. #lames Jen - Because it’s the Salty Supergirl Review... I’m gonna go full organic pink Himalayan smelling salts on this one. Play the #lames Break Scene & Underscored by Fart Sounds Jen - What did I feel when I saw this scene in my eyes? Gratification, Salty, Anger, Dumbfounded, like it’s been a long cold winter. And now, Supercorp can now come out for the Spring, rejuvenated and dressed in matching three-piece lady suits. I also felt confused because really, if #lames break up felt more like a transaction then an emotional loss. They literally broke up over Lena working for the government. It was never addressed the fact that these two characters are fundamentally not good for each other. They brought the worse out of each other. James became more annoyingly self righteous. Lena was regaled to arm candy whilst James used his shield to save her from shit she never need saving from before. Lena the smartest person in the entire shows was constantly defending her sense of morality to James. He did petty shit like not showing up for live interviews that Lena scheduled for him to do. And giving Lena hell over dressing him in gray suits, #Lames made me dislike gray suits and trivia pursuit. They gave us cringe inducing flirtation and senseless banter delivered with forced nuance and zero chemistry. They gave us moments of hollow declarations of love followed by angry fights and accusations of lying. James begrudged Lena for keeping him out of Jail. Lena felt out of place at Catco because really she only bought the damn thing for Kara. #lames is the end of another toxic poorly written and terrible arched plot line that took two likable characters and reduced them to their worse "Selves," making a point about exactly nothing. #lames is dead. I’m methodically salting the television space it lived in. Beat... ... And Now it’s time for the "Wardrobe of the Week." Jingle Sara - Now that #Lames has broken up. Like ELSA from Frozen The Wardrobe Department has decided to LET IT GO! And unleashed the non-binary spectrum on Lena Luthor’s clothing choices by giving us LENA LUTHOR IN A 3-PIECE LADYSUIT. And slaying twitter for a full week. My feed is literally just screenshots of "Lena in the suit" I’ll put some of these Screen-shots in the show-notes so you can enjoy them. Okay, I think this is good time for "TWITTERISMS!!!" Jingle In an effort to reach across the Supergirl fandom and bring people together we’ve gathered some of the best tweets off line. This week’s theme is Lena Luthor in a Lady Suit. Oh boy, it’s a doozy, we've got a lot of ground to cover. Twitterisms... Okay, and to finish off the day I’m going to talk the Highs and Lows of Supergirl over the span of the last six episodes. Speaking to the things, I liked and disliked about each characters artistic direction. Let’s Start with the Highs Jon and Manchester Black - Rivalry Thought this was a really well arched and pace the bween two strong men with opposing views of world order. I loved the extent in which Manchester Black got under Jonn’s skin. I was thoroughly surprised by the outcomes of this feud especially as each episode Manchester Black was able to out maneuver Jon and Supergirl. I would like to see this character back in the future as an ongoing nemesis for Jon. My favorite lines this entire season came from Jon. It was after he Kills Manchester Black and is holding the Legion ring. “He says something along the lines that, he is not a man of peace.” I loved the way this was worded and how it summarized this entire plot line. The Manchester Black and Jon stuff is a good example of pacing and subplot that adds to the overall story while not detracting screen time from Supergirl's storyline. I give ...
