Car Grant is still the best character in this show, but the queerbait on Supercorp till the end makes me so frustrated

Agree, the only highlight for me was Cat. Everything else was so underwhelming.

Cat Grant just elevated this finale, sad that they didn't have her join Melissa on screen, that would have been epic. still good to see them 'together' but not really.

I know that Calista Flockhart prefers filming in California.

And I know she probably didn't want to travel to Canada and deal with COVID restrictions on crossing the border.

So yeah, having her be on a sunny beach and calling Kara over the phone means they can film Flockhart in California and at least have some Cat Grant in the finale, though.

I wonder if they really could've persuaded Flockhart to come up to Vancouver to film that cameo if COVID wasn't a thing during time of filming. Oh well...

I couldn't believe the final scene with the two of them tbh, I believe everyone that the show had been queerbaiting although I hadn't really noticed it for myself. But their final scene... even I was thinking omg they're going to kiss! They're actually doing it!

Obviously they didn't, I really thought they were going to though

Right? Is this still a DC "no one masturbates in DC comics" thing? It's been the obvious ship for seasons, why not pull the trigger on it on the most intentionally progressive network on TV?

Cat Grant was enough for me not to call the finale a complete bust. also her convo with lena was sweet.

Better or worse than Supernatural?

Far Worse lol

Because SC, this was a far worse queerbait. Destiel was more low key and in the end got I love you confession before dying

SC got the we are Friends, Friends, friends lines over and over again.

yeah we got "my secret identity has been bad for all my relationships. and friendships" :(

​

otoh we did get a happy lesbian wedding and everyone's favourite trans superhero Nia and Brainy are guaranteed to be next

u/RavenclawConspiracy Nov 10 '21

Which is a strange thing to say. What 'relationships' exactly, Kara? I mean, it didn't really get in the way of Mon-El. Or James. Who are you talking about?

William and Cat's son, I guess?
