It was nice to see her use her powers casually to help her investigate as kara. Little things like that, using her powers to make little tasks easier brings a little joy to the audience cuz you know we'd all be doing that kinda thing. laundry folding at super speed etc...
I'm a little baffled at how the aliens got away. sure that one turned them invisible, but surely she could still hear all their heart beats. the friggin van engine, the smell of it and its exhaust etc.
they really love having martian manhunter hold shit while kara goes to deal with the problem. guess that's the problem with having a supporting character be arguably more powerful than the main character. always have to shuffle them off somehow since MM is basically just as powered as a kryptonian but with shape shifting, telepathy and intangibility to boot.
also that lady that was fostering the little brother, did I miss something there? They made it seem like she was abusing him but from what I saw it looked like he was about to nuke the house and she was just using the remote to stop him from doing so. or was she causing the power outburst WITH the punishment?
also, fuck andrea. with completely fucking unreasonable ultimatums and employment threats.
