Purity and Pestilence - World Killers

Could Pestilence Be the Real Villain of ‘Supergirl’ Season 3?, from brinkwire.com.

That would fit with season 1 and 2, where a villain is presented but in the final episodes a NEW final villain is presented. Again I want them to focus on saving/seperating Sam from Reign as well.

I really don't know what they mean by real villain. Reign has been a main threat since Episode 9 and will most likely continue. Purity was just introduced and has only been in one episode, so I think it's a little early to say that she has been cast off easily to the side. I do think that Pestilence will be a formidable force as she is the only one that the Legion says is a force in the future. She may be the glue that holds all three together. However, I think it will be the combination of all three that is the real villain for most of the remaining season.

After the last episode there's one thing I want to see. An Unmasked Reign , like Reign mocking supergirl saying that Sam is dead or something, even unmasking to fight her with Sam's face bare. But yeah I say that for Sam the stakes are possibly even more personal then for Kara. She needs to beat Reign just as bad as Kara does, if not for her own continued existence, then for her daughter.

The last episode, we were officially introduced to Pestilence. I have updated the information in the thread description.

I am a bit confused on Pestilence's ability to infect others and her current state. When the birds fell from the sky, Alex stated that the virus was contagious and spread through the air, which would make sense because not all of the birds would have been scratched at one time. Imra stated that this was a sign of Pestilence evolving into the Blight.

However, later in the episode, they said that it wasn't contagious and that the victims were infected through a scratch. I believe it was Imra who then stated that she hadn't evolved into the Blight yet. But, this doesn't really follow with the birds all dropping from the sky at once.

Did I miss some dialogue that explained this difference? Does the Blight take on a human form or is it shapeless?

Alex said the virus wasn’t spread from bird to bird and that each bird got it from the host (Pestilence). Basically the virus isn’t contagious. That’s why Alex and Winn felt safe going into city hall without hazmat suits and sent the victims to the hospital rather than quarantineing them. Being next to Winn didn’t make James sick because he didn’t have physical contact with Pestilence like Alex and Winn did. I see where you got confused because during the same conversation LoH said the Blight is highly contagious. We don’t know if the Blight has a human form. At this point Pestilence still has a human body and requires contact to infect her victims she evolves into the Blight and her virus becomes contagious.

Yeah, I heard Alex say that and knew she and Winn got sick through contact with Pestilence. I guess I just really don't see how all of those birds could have gotten the virus as a result of a scratch by Pestilence at the same time. That is more indicative of an airborne virus. So, I thought I maybe missed a conversation that explained it.

So my new WK thoughts:

Julia/Purity-50/50 on whether she'll die before the end of the season
Grace/Pestilence- Let Imra kill her already, shes beyond help even in human form.
Sam/Reign- Kill Reign and save Sam please!! Sam is also the only one who is actively resisting her WK form, which is why I guess Reign feels the need to go after Ruby in Shelter from the Storm.

The birds were just there for effect. Or, Pestilence bought a bunch of birds, scratched them and then, sent them out for effect.

I am sad to say that I am not entirely sure the writers thought through that one. It would have better sense to have it happen later when Pestilence had grown in powers a bit.
