    Wow.. That was WAY TOO overtly liberalistic in the pusing 'openness and amnesty to 'aliens'... Wonder if it was funded by the DNC!???
    How on earth could the exces allow that crap? I can maybe understand putting in a message or two, but going that overt in their political view is NOT on imo.

    BUT that said, i enjoyed a good amount of the stuff in the ep.. Like the dressing down kara got from that editor in "Report the news, don't turn it into an opinion piece", but i also liked the dressing down HE got from Olson, and the introduction of that cop...

      Spoiler:

      Yeah, it was a pretty pro illegal alien viewpoint...
      UNTIL it turned out that the President was an alien.. don't know how that will play out.

      I loved the reference to Wonder Woman by Lynda Carter "You should see my other jet"
      Almost as good was Olsen putting Snapper in his place.
      Overall, another good episode.

          Supergirl as a show has that problem. It can get way too preachy, but this was the preachiest yet. Maybe they should take some advice from Snapper. Their job is to entertain...not preach political ideology so bluntly. It really does take you out of the moment. There are more sublte ways to do these things without being so...on the nose.

          I really loved Scorcher. She was.....hot.

            Perhaps that is WHY they had snapper give that chat to Kara.. As a way to try and show us they DID hear the message but were ignoring it (like Kara tried).

              Is anyone buying Morgan L Leena Luther as a friendly good guy friend to Kara deal? I sure hope she turns out to be not the good paragon of goodness...Maybe shadier than Maxwell Lord.

                    Yes it was preachey, and in fact, in my opinion more shows should be like that.
                    Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

                      Really? I don't want shows to be overtly preachy no matter what it is that they are preaching.

                        Hasn't Superman always been preachy?

                          I want shows that try to add a moral or inform while entertaining. Star Trek always did this so well. It's just as relevant within comic book shows with comic books having a long history of telling morality tales.

                            I think it would be refreshing to have her be a straight shooter.. And not another 'i am bad but appear good just to lull the hero into a false sense of security'...

                            Neither do i. We are already getting way to much 'preachiness in sports, with all these athletes doing the 'take a knee during the anthem (heck one gal in miami took a knee WHEN SINGING the anthem).. We don't need it in other shows.

                              There's a line between a "moral of the story" and "preachyness". It's the same as the old writing proverb "Show, don't tell". To be fair, it's probably this election cycle that made me adverse to this particular instance.

                              Meh, I'm not terribly afraid of that. As long as it is executed well. She doesn't have to be an actual villain. Maybe Maxwell Lord style antagonist.

                              Totally not the same thing. But that's beyond the scope of this conversation.
