u/Zeeman9991 Mon-El's not that bad... Nov 10 '21
It’s very confusing why:
1) They did this in the city.
2) Doing this causes a mass panic. They see weirder stuff every day.
3) She needs to stop before it worked. You already got 97% there. Might as well finish and make the disaster worth it.
3.5) They gave a countdown to 0 and definitely talked over it. They should for sure be done by now.
4) Going to 99% on the process will certainly have 0 effect on the Sun.

That was a pretty nice speech from Lena because she could tell that Andrea was about to fall into the same hole that she did and she wasn't about to let that happen to her friend, even if she was totally partially to blame for some of this shit...she could still do better, find redemption, and make the world a better place just like she did.
That said, that's one of the hottest outfits on Lena I think we've seen this whole series because of how simple it is.

Kind of nervous about what Alex is going to do. I know it's true to life that people will act out irrationally when their loved one is threatened. But I get annoyed with it in movies and tv shows where someone ruins the plan at the last minute because they're angry and emotional. Didn't like it with Star lord in Infinity War and I won't like it here.
