Livewire

Supergirl
S01E05

The fight with Livewire was really good & so was that alien at the beginning. I guess they are trying the Arrow style of starting the episode with action in progress. I think it worked but the phone call during the fight doesn't work here because she's still a beginner. I hope we see that alien again.

It seems like they shouldn't even bother mentioning the Phantomzone anymore because on this show it's harder to escape the friendzone. Winn needs to go visit Central City.

Who wrote this episode?

Apart from the fighting, this episode was pretty terrible. It made no sense for Livewire to call Supergirl "adorkable." Supergirl has been heroic every time she's appeared in public, even when she lost, she has not been adorkable. Kara is adorkable, Livewire wouldn't know that. Then she was using her electricity while standing in a puddle as soon as she got out of the hospital. The dialogue between Alex & her mom was terrible. Supergirl called Livewire a "mean girl" which was super-lame & so was the comment by Cat about Hillary & Liberals. It was also out of character that Cat was interested in Kara's personal life.

The writers need to stay away from politics & stop trying to address critics in the show.
