SUPERGIRL Lays Low In The New Promo For Season 4, Episode 19: "American Dreamer"

I've said this before--with Supergirl being threatened and framed, Dreamer picking up the slack, and Guardian effectively out of action, there should be a new mask in town that acts as a strong counterpoint to Lockwood/Agent Liberty, but hits the same symbolic notes as the goon in the golden mask. And there's a lot of DC characters in the backlog that can fit the bill--Mr. or Ms. America, the Vigilante (cowboy version), or probably the best, DC's Captain America riff General Glory.

Good episode to return, it was nicely paced and balanced.

Lena is still keeping secrets and I knew Lex also knew about the death of her first failed test subject. Considering the secret room she found near the end where he had eyes and ears (tbh it looked a little like Fisk's secret room in DD S3) including the DEO S1 HQ it wouldn't be surprising that he also had cameras during the first trials of the Harun-El. Or just with Eve spilling the beans would be enough. This is all just dynamite waiting to implode.

I'm starting to think that he's definitely hiding at either that mountain from Lena's childhood flashbacks or just somewhere out there but on a place with a lot of view.

The kryptonite shield reminded me of the ones they used in S2 against the original Metallo. If they could make them with Nth metal, they'd be unbreakable and they could keep fighting.

They basically did a lowkey nod to the DD S2 prison hallway fight scene until it got real vs Otis. Nice save by turning into Kara to fool him.

But on the other hand I can't buy how they force Kara to believe she's been making things worse. Someone must've missed when she stopped the Elite from blowing up the White House and when she peacefully joined the alien rally march. I get it's to make her resort to journalism as an alt. but I think it could be executed differently to still get to the same destination.

Nia's dreams were confirmed to not always be set in stone here, the future is always changing. I did like how she called out Brainy on his double standard about what is acceptable to dream and not to. And he acknowledges the nature of their kiss, just kiss her again already you blue smurf stud. :P

He better download the Alien Registry somewhere else though because as long as it is in his head it can be dangerous.

Was really impressed with Mehcad's acting here with Jimmy's PTSD, in all of them tbh. But it seems the only thing the Harun-El serum does is give you super strength, maybe there's more to develop as time goes by. Guessing he and Kelly will meet with Lena next week to talk about it.

I'm pretty sure that bunker where the POTUS is staying will get raided soon by Red Daughter and not all the deputized CoL will be able to protect him.

I wonder why Eve and Lex are keeping Otis around.

The hard drive Kara got at the end should explain why Lex had eyes on the other DEO HQ and his visits to Red Daughter.

Next week looks like it'll be even better I think.
