I love Kara, but if the show won’t allow her and Lena to share a screen more than a few times a season unless she’s in the SG outfit, then I need both Lena and Alex to have an onscreen friend and confidant and defender. I LOVE Alex having faith in Lena’s abilities and also her judgment. I thought the ending was a bit BBC Sherlock-y, but also it was fun in a way that the CoL story can’t be (because they’re allegorical nazis lobbying for political recognition and power), and I’m hoping they can keep that energy moving forward.
I’ll admit I saw his name and laughed for two straight weeks about Duckie being a super-villain, but the casting on SG is often wonderful *whispers* even if certain talents are wasted on underwritten story lines. I’m ready to ship Kelly and Alex with all my heart, and I actually really like what Jon Cryer’s doing with Lex so far. Great recap as always, Valerie Anne! This is the only ep I’ve watched live all season (because they really got me with the teasers for that suit on Lena) and I really enjoyed it? I doubt I’ll make a habit of it since recaps, crackvids, and memes usually work more for me than whatever nazi allegory mismanaging happens on a given week, but I’m glad I caught it! Came for the suit, stayed for the plot and some lovely insight on Lena’s mother (and also Kara in those jeans which I feel are being underappreciated).
