    • Quotes

      Kara Danvers: Ever since J'onn left the DEO, I just feel so far from him. I don't really know what his life is like.

      Alex Danvers: Yeah.

      Kara Danvers: All I know is I hate his new point of view. It just feels so ominous.

      Alex Danvers: Well, J'onn is not an alarmist, Kara. I mean, if he's trying to tell you something, I would listen. What are you so afraid of?

      Kara Danvers: I'm not afraid of anything. It... I just finally feel like the world is good. And I so badly want it to stay that way, even if it's just for a little while.

      Alex Danvers: Kara Danvers, you are the most courageous person I know. And even if it's hard, if you face it, you can conquer anything.

      Kara Danvers: I'll try.

      Alex Danvers: Ha.

      Kara Danvers: Only if you conquer the urge to not punch Brainy in the face.

      Alex Danvers: Mm. That is an unfair bargain.

    Almost perfect...almost
    Could've been a 10/10 if not for the forced Lena/James romance. I hated it last season and still hate it. They have no chemistry, James never really liked/trusted her until he suddenly wanted to bone, and Lena honestly looks uncomfortable when they're together. I feel like they put James with her because they didn't know what else to do with his character. I wish they'd both be single, he could focus on being a hero at Catco while Lena's "I don't need a man" attitude from 2x18 could stay genuine.
