Supergirl S3 E5 "Damaged": Discussion and Review

Yes, the \ S / does keep getting brighter doesn't it....

I just realized something. You know how in real life you have a friend that wears glasses and at a certain point you want to see them without glasses. Well what if Lena is just like, "I haven`t seen Kara without glasses, ever, and she is my best friend and I have known her for over a year." How is Kara gonna get out of that one?

Yeah, it is little things like that that I think the writers need to come to terms with.....I know that Katie doesn't want Lena to find out, but Katie is clueless when it comes to the fans that have been following these comic based shows and know the ins and outs of everything. Lena needs to find out this season or fans are going to start calling BS, which many already have.

I am pretty sure Lena will find out at the end of this season and the next season will be about the fall out (among other things). At least, I hope for that. (And yes, I can see on rewatch how Lena-James thing is about starting at the opposite ends and getting to know each other and then, liking each other thing that people tend to do with couples. I don't know how I feel about that yet. But, you know, if they were going to give Lena/James a love interest, better another secondary character than a tertiary character whom we would never see and would take away from the season arc.)

I like the season tone so far because it delves deeper into who Kara is as a person. Not just this noble being who always sees the best in everyone, and wants to do her best for everyone, but also the person who has suffered a lot of loss, loss unimaginable to most people; a loss she has never completely dealt with. We know that Kara's cheerful nature always informs her decisions and actions, but may be it is also her sense of loss that makes her ensure that others don't go through the same thing (and also why Mon El's loss affects her so deeply and her greatest fear is that she killed him).

I personally like seeing Kara exploring and understanding herself more and in the process, us getting to know her better.

It also gives so much for the others to do; especially, J'onn and Alex (and Eliza).

And I really like Kara and Alex supporting each other and knowing and understanding each other better thus deepening their relationship.
