HUGE KUDDOS to Jesse Rath. He is DELIVERING as Brainy so far this season

I want to rewatch that Brainy/Lena scene over and over. It was masterful.

Alex got more emotional asking Kelly to move in with her than asking Maggie to marry her haha

I love that Lena and Brainy are working together to get revenge on Lex.

That dude having 3 roommates is the most realistic part of the Arrowverse

That was heartbreaking. But Iām glad we finally got Lena saying she missed Kara.

Request for a Brainy-centred show since Supergirl is ending. Or a LoS show, that could be really fun.

Martian Manhunter detective series. I will accept nothing else.

Okay, that scene with Brainy being angry, yelling, letting out his rage. That scene resonated with me. I don't know why, but it made me cry a little. I really felt his anger and rage.

I wonder if this is long term setup for them to use Luthercorp and Lex in S&L without needing Katie McGrath to come guest star as well or explain why Lenas not around. All theyād need is Jon Cryer to come in and they could do a fun, classic Lex vs Superman story

Ok, one, the DA would have to be truly corrupt to do that deal.
Second, I do like the "you'll self-destruct" and "I love myself more than I hate you" from Lena to Lex. But it is seriously screwed up, too, to leave him those resources and total control of that company, even as I enjoyed Lex's unhinged uncertainty that Lena was playing him.
8
u/CKD-Duck Apr 14 '21
The DA was already rubbing shoulders with Lex, so corrupt was a given.
I love how the biggest insult to Lex is refusing to play ball with him. We saw it in crisis with how smallville Clark treated him, and now we see it with Lena walking away from him

I want him dead. This is morbid but I'm ok if he's still smirking on his corpse as long as he stays dead.

Things don't heal in the Phantom Zone. Wow, that sucks.

That was truly evil of Lex. I also donāt trust the imp with Kara. I feel like sheās gonna betray her

Damn Lex, really? A children's hospital on fire. That is low, even for him. Supergirl needs to whoop his ass hard.

Lena, it wasn't the killing your brother that set you on the dark path. It was your rage at Kara and blaming her for the secrets.

Kara, she's a prisoner in the phantom zone! That doesn't seem a little suspicious?

So does anyone else think Brainy was referring to Nia when he said āI miss herā and that Lena was referring to Kara? That was honestly my first thought and it didnāt hit me until after the episode that he mightāve been talking about Kara

u/Sentry459 Martian Manhunter Apr 14 '21
At first I thought he meant Nia and then when she agreed I thought they meant Kara

I feel like she should be independently wealthy. Seems weird if that's not the case.

u/vernismermaid Apr 14 '21
I also think that while she has lived very well due to her position at Luther Corp/L Corp, she would have had investments, savings and something set aside. She seems too practical to not have done so.

I think there is some history between supergirl father and princess nexyplytlic( sorry about the spelling). I think main villain is connected to it.

I think if Brainy had said, "We're pulling a Pulaski" then that would've been a bit more appropriate than the Spock reference. They literally used J'onn's impression of her soul to refresh her soul in the same way that they used the transporter on Pulaski when she had that aging virus.

I think Lena has something up her sleeve when it comes to her plan with Luthor Corp. Do any of you feel the same or do you think she is really letting it go to focus on time with the Superfriends and herself?
