okay. well. today was all around pretty good. I woke up to my alarm at 8:30 am and got out of bed despite my tiredness, put the breakfast order into uber eats, and Jess showed up soon afterwards. Food came, and we ate while prepping for our hour of the podcast marathon at 10. I threw the basic ingredients together to make tomato sauce and had that on the stove for dinner so it could cook all day and be super good. Once it was time we tuned into the live chat and everything and started talking. Since we really don’t have that much to talk about still so we talked about the upcoming content we’ll get at SDCC now that we know the pilot will be being screened and we’re getting a panel and signing, so that’s all very exciting. From there we kinda transitioned into a more general topic about cons and the importance of centering queer women in stories about queer women, kinda building off the conversation we had with Dot-Marie Jones a few weeks back, which included some fairly heavy shading of Clexacon which I give exactly zero fucks about because they deserve everything they have coming for them. From there we just talked about our expectations for the show in general based on the info we have so far and interacting with the live chat and the questions they had. So it went pretty well, I was satisfied with it. Once we were done Jess headed out because she had to run to the city clerk’s office to get some sticker for her car which was gonna take like two hours or some shit like that. So for a while I got some work done, finished editing the brief and sent it in to my boss, so I’m officially out of actual work to do until he gets back to me, which is probably a good thing really because it means I can actually get done some of the many things I should be doing but haven’t done yet because I’ve been using all the time that I would do those things to work, mainly finish my clothing switch over and cleaning my kitchen, which is such a hot mess right now. So once I finished I started the process of pulling my winter clothes out of my dresser so I can put the summer clothes in. I realized I have like, a ton of skirts in the bottom of my pants drawer that I never actually wear but keep there on the belief that maybe I’ll wear them some day, but I probably never will so I’ll have to thin those out some. I just have to keep all the work clothes in there because who knows when I might need some professional clothing. So I got through some of that before messaging Jess and planning to get lunch with her. We went to the drag bar/hamburger place because since it was the afternoon there’s no chance we could get caught in one of the many shows they do (not because we wouldn’t like the show, just that Jess feels like we’re obligated to stay for the whole thing and last time we ended up there for like, 3 hours lol. so that was good, we definitely over-ordered appetizers and I barely ate my actual meal, but I brought it home with me so it’ll probably get eaten at some point. Once we finished we returned to my apartment where Jess bugged me into playing the new BTS World game on my phone, so I decided I would at least have fun with this and read all the dialogue out loud very dramatically and pronounced the boys names as they were spelled in the game (there’s this weird thing with however the game got translated they didn’t use the like, generally accepted spellings of their names in English because some of them don’t translate perfectly, so oo’s get turned into u’s and some k’s get turned into g’s and vice versa, so instead of Yoongi and Jungkook they have Yunki and Jeongguk) which Jess thought was the worst but most amusing thing ever and was between bouts of laughter and begging me to stop doing it 😂it was very entertaining. So that went on for a while before we realized we still had some time to kill before the assemble podcast hour, so we decided to watch Krypton season 1, which I’ve seen but Jess hasn’t and tbh I didn’t remember it all that well lol. so we got through the first like 3 and a half episodes I think. My mental timeline of what happened when in the series was definitely off, but oh well. Around 7 I started making the rest of dinner, which was pretty easy, but sadly with the addition of other ingredients the sauce ended up being too salty and I was very sad about this because when I had tasted it prior it was like out of this world good, so that was a disappointment but oh well, know now for next time to be careful about that. So we ate what we could before the podcast started slightly after 8. so this was when all the hosts from the different podcasts on the network all got on the live show together and just do a kind of season sum up, and we played dc comics madlibs which was hilarious, and then go over our favorite and least favorite characters or new heroes or seasons of what show and such, which is always super entertaining to hear people’s different opinions on these things, and of course there are plenty of jokes interjected in between all of it. So that ended up going until like 10:30 when we finally signed off, and we ended up making like $2,252 for the charity (it was at $2,242 but I donated the last ten bucks so it could end in 52 because dc comics) which was pretty awesome. Everyone was pretty tired at that point so Jess went home, and I just like lazily laid on my couch for a bit before starting to get ready for bed, and now I am here. I’m super excited about going to pride tomorrow, I can sleep till like 9 which is better than some mornings at least but it’s now 1 am and I am pretty damn tired, so I’m definitely going to bed now. Goodnight dears. Hope you’re having a great weekend.

if supergirl was smart or as woke as they thought they are then they could have easily had one of the best seasons in TV history (warning this is a long ass post but i loved writing it)

imagine this:

they’ve set up an alien infiltration, which feels like it could be a certain alien race searching for world alien domination (that shapeshifter who’s disguised as the president) — but obviously kara + crew don’t know that, only the audience does.

mon-el is in the pod. doesn’t wake up until wayyy later. so ignore him right now.

so, now imagine mimicking reality rn — the government is awful and we see it coming from a state level at first. national city’s governor is this huge fucking asshole who starts declaring anti-alien rights and so there’s rumors brewing (and here’s where we introduce maggie, and she becomes this link to the alien demographic in a time where alien hatecrime is rising but so is anti-human crime. it’s slowly becoming a war, but maggie stays set that aliens are refugees and they’re here after planets getting destroyed, this is maggie/alex angst bc alex despite knowing good aliens, is still reeling off alien takeover/distrust from astra, etc. but then the closer she gets to maggie, the closer she starts to realize her own prejudice)

now, cat grant leaves. what kara doesn’t know, is that cat grant got a tip from someone in DC that there’s been alien infiltration and she doesn’t tell kara or supergirl bc cat knows that kara can be a little reckless. but she does entrust james with the company and lets HIM know what she’s “diving” for. but also because she does care about kara, she tells james to keep an eye on her and supergirl and tells james she knows, but for the sake of dramatics, let’s kara pretend she doesn’t. and she tells james that when they’re ready to attack, she’ll get supergirl’s help. but “somethings only human can do, james. somethings don’t require super strength, just a desire for the truth and a big heart.”

so she’s in DC trying to discover this gigantic alien infiltration that is presumedly going on underground, and so we do still get glimpses of her in newspaper titles. like, cat grant lands in DC. potential entry into politics? and so she does, she gets involved in government but WE know. and so does james. and that’s james “guardian” secret in an essence, you feel me? he’s keeping that away from kara, and that becomes his new storyline.

back to national city, the rise of a new governor who got elected entirely through anti-alien rhetoric. (he’s our trump character) but it sets the mood for the season. where season 1 was appreciative of aliens (the city liking kara) this season, the city isn’t turning on supergirl (bc of course people are dumb and they like what supports them) but they’re very much starting to hate aliens, and kara does feel it. but she doesn’t know how to stop it.

now james again, cat grant is sending him information about plausible alien infiltration at the state level in smaller states where (they’ll make the joke bc season 1 cbs didn’t care lmao) rednecks run wild and group think is big and stupid, so alabama, mississippi, tennessee etc... but then she says national city. so james starts disappearing a little bit from on screen, but not while becoming “national city’s guardian” and voice of reason.

for every anti-alien rhetoric that this governor throws out, james and kara introduce alien support. and they starts it by running an article on kara’s journey, reaches out to people by showing her pain. very emphatic. (and james and kara work so cutely together in this, there’s scenes of them at home looking up funny alien conspiracy sites and kara’s telling james about the aliens she did meet, and they’re sort of handpicking aliens to profile and feature on the article. james takes pictures and kara writes them hehe)

second article, j’onn, and he talks about his life and what similarities they hold to american culture (aka valentine’s day) on mars and what he does now as a “human.” so james is helping build empathy and understanding. then we get m’gann who (tbh to be honest i want as a love interst for j’onn i dont care sorry only straights i want after kara/james) talks about overcoming her government and finding j’onn on america and love. and starting a new life in a world they find safe now, together.

they can keep the cadmus storyline, too. we’ll work that into the storyline bc if lex is anything to go by, we can say his mother had very similar attributes too. she may hate aliens, but if it means that she can get a throne when the world is taken over, then who cares if she’s working with aliens. plus, she’s been told by the alien president person that she can dissect aliens and thus she’s making alien weapons to use against humans.

so this is kara centric obviously, we’ll see kara doing what she always does. fighting aliens with the help of the DEO and winn now. and it’s just her bc she’s fucking supergirl she doesn’t need no fuckign superboy or even a guardian (love u james, clearly but)

and then we get lena. and her storyline stays very similar to the show, because she’s a GOOD PERSON. and if y’all want to add some love interest to kara, then cool we’ll do that too. but i want some more action and i want kara to bring lena in to introduce to everyone, and so when she does that shit to save all of them at the party, james gears in his head start turning and she knows she wants to get her to help but not yet.......

so where’s mon-el, you guys ask? well ideally he would be dead but if we have to use him ok we’ll start maybe around episode 13. james gets a REAL fat tip from someone about possible alien activity in city council. (they’re meeting at someone’s house in the outskirts of national city.)

this is where we get the james/winn team up. james is a little scared, bc duh he’s a fucking HUMAN and not stupid to think he can go up against aliens lol. and asks winn if he can help him with some drones and maybe get him some more protective outerwear if he does face anything. and maybe a gun, bc who doesn’t want a gun? so winn starts doing his techy stuff, and builds james a lesser guardian suit (nothing too dramatic, more stealth) and together they go out into this pinpointed location and set up cameras/infiltrate the base and that’s when james sees it:

mon-el’s big ass fucking mug on the wall where cadmus/alien government infiltration thing are meeting (look i’m not a screenplay writer so my description is lame but y’all get where this is kinda going. imagine like a stalker having a wall of people up, and mon-el’s face is in the middle.) and then in red print is DAXAM PRINCE.

so now winn/james/and cat are talking and scrambling together to meet up but cat says she hasn’t gotten sufficient info yet to stage anything with the DEO. but she can 100% admit that there are ALIENS walking among us (and winn snorts bc lol duh) and cat gives them a glare through webcam and she tells james to tell kara who mon-el is and that he got a scoop about alien infiltration in national city’s government, but not about DC yet. and that she’s got something brewing...

so mon-el still isn’t awake but kara’s telling all this shit about how daxam is a hedonistic country and how they were awful, and they were old krypton settlers and blah blah. so she calls in clark for some help about getting him out of his coma and what not. and so clark isn’t too much of a big entity just sort of smartly helps alex and eliza bring him out of his dormant stage. so mon-el attacks clark instead of kara bc we don’t support abuse out in this country and kara gets to train him but it’s not that important. lmao

he becomes a new comedic relief, and him and kara do bond a little bit about being from dead lands and he talks about how he was a prince but he hated it and he sucked at it blah blah. and when he says he doesn’t want to be a hero because he doesn’t know, kara lets him go because kara isn’t going to force anyone into doing something they don’t want to. but kara takes care of him and shows him about earth and we get the headcanon that someone said here that every week mon-el has a new job. and he’s not important to the plot YET. but we start getting inklings of how important he was, because people will bow down to him at the bar.... so hm... and he does date eve and they’re a cute little annoying couple

then KARA and alex and maggie check out this secret house out in the outskirts and boom boom they find alien fucking weaponry and they see that they’ve been stalking out aliens and taken them to cadmus, so they ask LENA for some help in dismantling the weaponry and she and winn work together to find the coordinates of cadmus.

and they do, but then mon-el gets kidnapped and so everyone is working together to really get him out of cadmus and they do. w/e i’m emitting details but when kara gets to mon-el he points something out like “there was a lady here, kara. and she looks.. she looks like the lady you said was kind of like the queen of here??”

and kara’s like ?? “you saw beyonce HERE?” and mon-el’s like “no!! i love beyonce i would know who SHE is anywhere, but no... the president, i think that’s what you called her.”

and so kara’s first thought is CAT bc cat’s been dealing with the president a lot and i’m sorry for bringing this in too late, but there’s been “alien terrorists” attacks recently and that’s part of kara’s storyline is fighting off these aliens like in s1 when we see that, you know?

so she manages to rescue mon-el but not before getting CAUGHT and that’s when she meets lena’s mother and so she’s in this cell and everyone’s trying to rescue her but we start to see how STRONG aliens are. so there’s like this weird alien group fighting the DEO and then JEREMIAH saves her!!! and gets kara out!!!

so now we’re back at the DEO and kara is telling everyone what’s happening and she mentions lena’s mother and kara comforts lena and lena comes clean about knowing what her mother was up to but was scared of ratting her out bc it’s her mother and kara gives her a hug and says she understands what it means to feel disappointment about parents and tells her bout her mom. so we get a cute lena/kara bonding moment and then kara whizzes off to DC to see cat.

and she lands on cat’s balcony and they have a nice little banter and then kara tells her what she knows about the alien infiltration and the president blah blah, very much like when kara told her about myriad. but cat sighs, sits down and tells her “i know.” and there’s a little bit of a fight and cat comes clean about everything, but doesn’t mention james bc she ain’t no SNITCH. about how she left bc she got hints and blah blah. and kara like is so MAD bc she put herself in DANGER!!!!!!!!!!! and they get through it bc duh kara knows who cat is and what she’s after, and so she asks what she knows and eventually cat says she misses national city, she misses her family and she misses.... “even that silly little, awfully dressed assistant kiera.”

and kara finally comes clean, but not without a scoff. and then cat just laughs and says I’ve always know, you silly little awfully dressed superhero.”

AND BOOM!!!!! KARA GETS A CALL ABOUT NATIONAL CITY BEING UNDER ATTACK AND SHE LOOKS AT CAT, LOOKS AT HER LIPS, BUT THIS IS A NO ROMANCE STORYLINE RN JUST EVERYONE GETS A LIL BIT OF KARA AND SHE GIVES CAT THE BIGGESTH UG EVER AND SAYS “I’ll come back... Cat.” AND SHE GOES AND NATIONAL CITY IS GETTING FUCKED UP BY ALIENS!!!!

and so humans are TERRIFIED and people are calling for anti-alien stuff again!! and aliens who aren’t the murderers are getting hurt and attacked and they’re getting mad!!!!!!! and it’s like a small war has broken out and the media is going crazy!!

but kara stops the attack with the help of lena’s super weapon (like imagine the dinner thing again) and james and winn come clean about knowing about cat and kara feels so betrayed but kara’s a generous person and she understands but she’s MAD AGAIN BC WHY IS VERYONE IN THE WORLD LYING

and i’ll give y’all some supercorp bonding, after everything kara says THANK YOU FOR HELPING and they bond about parents and kara brings lena donuts.

and look i’m running a little bit out of steam so i’ll just end it around here but point is

EVERYONE teams up to bring the end of the infiltration and expose the alien both via brute strength and the media. kara, james and cat speak to the humans via catco media about having hope and loving one another, including aliens.

and mon-el, kara and m’gann and j’onn talk to the aliens about overcoming prejudice not only with humans, but with each other (daxam vs krypton and mars)

and season 2 ends with a huge new years party, to signify the start of a new year. and EVERYONE is at kara’s house, and they’re toasting. and the big twist at the end (don’t worry i didn’t forget) is a BREAKING NEWS broadcast and jeremiah’s destroying the town as CYBORG SUPERMAN

ok there’s some plotholes but w/e still better than this season 2 lmao
