Supertrash: ‘Supergirl’ 4.11 “Blood Memory”

This week on Supertrash Alyssa and Jen discuss episode 4.11 of Supergirl“Blood Memory.” While we absolutely LOVED Nia’s storyline in this episode, the James/Lena and the Alex’s memory loss storyline was just baffling. We spend a good 20 minutes trying to figure out if we are supposed to believe that James and Lena are a happy couple or not. And the number of questions we have about Alex’s brain…

Um there are SPOILERS ahead, duh

Alright, bring on this Danvers Sisters angst. Not gonna pretend like I’m ready, but go off I guess

Ah yes this hot ass Russian!Kara jumpsuit

The fuck just happened?

Something bad about to happen to these white boys…

Game night?? GAME NIGHT!!!!  LENA AND NIA ARE HERE!!! AHHHH!!!!

They have a song? Why are we just not hearing this?

Fail, James. Not as in sync as you thought, huh

Terminator 2 is Alex’s fave movie hahaha Of course it is

And so the pain begins :(

Haha Kara tossed that fratboy aside like he was a...well a fratboy

But why does Director Danvers gotta be rude tho?

Why would you think things were good, Kara? Why?

The Wizard of Oz. Noted

Who the fuck are you? You got a name?

Someone please make sure Lena isn’t going evil over there

ROAD TRIP!

I think, Brainy just classified Fratboys as a subspecies of human

Nia is so casual about being half alien

Whoa! I forgot Kara didn’t know!! Watch the road, girl! We all know you can’t drive

Aw Sleepy!Nia

Fun rage?

Not knowing her sister is Supergirl, must weaken Alex’s confidence somehow. She couldn’t get some info out of those fuckboys, I mean fratboys

It reminds me a bit of Midvale (3x06) when Alex solved her first case and Kara was there to back her up when she got in over her head. I wonder how much confidence that’s always lent her as a cop/agent. Always knowing in the back of her mind that if thing went really wrong Kara could swoop in to save her.

Ellis Grey, is that you?

That’s so many species of Orchids

Am I sensing some sibling rivalry/resentment?

Yikes, Meave is in for a surprise

#LetKaraPaintAgain2019

I like how this inherited dreaming thing completely validates Nia’s gender identity. It’s cool

Smooooth, J’onn. Not suspicious at all.

Keep your voices down! Damn, the door is wide open.

Have you meet Brainy?

HA! This music! THIS OUTFIT! BRAINY HAHAHAHAHA

He nailed it.

He lived with Mon-El, Alex.

Ellis Grey has chilled out alot.

Rule #1 The Chosen One does not have a choice. That’s kinda the point.

Oh god! This is so sudden!!!! Damn, poor Nia

Her element is Fire? Interesting

I’ve had to watch this actress die too many times

Kara, her mom just died right in front of her! Be more shocked!

Well, that’s terrifying

TELL HER! It’s time

Oh God, Lena is so incredibly adorable! And competitive. And wrong about her and James :( What makes them think they are so incredibly connected and in love? Ugh, I just don’t see it

Will we ever get to see Kara in this penthouse? Even platonically?

It seems like wearing the Children of Liberty masks all the time would be kinda conspicuous

J’onn is so worried about Alex. I love them

Kara is very especially equipped to help Nia with this problem

Whoa! This makeup on these drug-dealers is so so shitty. Wow

Where was Kara hiding that supersuit?

Oh shit! Director Danvers is gonna be pissed!!

Oh...arms…

Oh god, how long do we have to endure this angst??? Kara’s face! My feelings! THE PAIN

OOOOOOH not she didn’t. FUCK

Fuck fuck fuck fuck :(

Kara, maybe you should tell her…

Yes? YASS!! TELL HER!

YASSSSSSSSS!

Teamup time!

James, don’t do anything...compromising. Talk to Lena. You two just made a promise to be honest with one another, dammit.

A costume, tailor-made and ready to go? Sweet!

T2!

Movie night with J’onn!! Awww
