O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Well.. it supposed to be tragic due to the fact that it was Lex Luthor... but since Alan Harper joined the team, things got funny! No, there is no way you can put Alan harper to play the villain.. he is an idiot! :)

Supergirl started OK; but, has never been better than that. Too much political commentary, too little emphasis on story. This episode has the potential to turn the series around! At first, I was Leary of Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor. I was beyond wrong! The ending was fantastic. I really hope this show is going in a new, better direction.

Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor is just what the Supergirl series needed. The first half of the season is filled with political commentary that was really getting old. I got to the end of this episode and thought "Now, we're talking!" I can only imagine how much better the rest of the season will be.b

Supergirl is not the most consistent show when it comes to quality, but as far as this casting and this episode they have outdone themselves.

Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) is dying because he exposed himself to kryptonite trying to kill Superman a few years ago, and his only hope is the black kryptonite a.k.a. Harun-El project that Lena Luthor has been working of but has not perfected, yet an emergency situation might force Lena to speed up the process and come up with a cure.

Jon Cryer excels at playing Lex Luthor, he is evil, deceitful, cunning, and most importantly he lacks conscience. But most importantly Cryer plays the character with the seriousness and respect such a powerful presence deserves, and we then get the Lex Luthor we deserve, and the one we need right now on the series.

He has upped the threat levels, and because of his performance I give this episode a 10 out of 10... I cannot wait to see where he takes this amazing interpretation next.

3 out of 5 stars.

The episode introduces Lex Luthor which was a fun interesting take on the character. And the direction it ends for the rest of the series. Meanwhile, Manchester plots to cut power to the city. Which Supergirl and Jonn try to stop him.
