For all the good stuff in the episode, there was one thing that bugged the crap out of me. Why were they using flashlights (more meta) in the morgue. Why not just turn on the lights. It's not like there wasn't any power. There was plenty of tasteful accent lighting, not to mention at least one working computer.

As soon as he said he was going to be around all the time I thought "you're a dead man walking."

Supergirl is moving from CBS to the CW, which probably means huge budget cuts.

But it could mean more crossovers, which would be fun.
I have problems with the nuclear stuff on Arrow. First, as soon as Felicity said that Rubicon was sending random launch codes, I said "Do you want to play a game?" in my best machine voice. The problem is that the various governments had almost a full day to take the missiles physically off-line (dump the fuel, cut the control umbilicals, toss enough TNT down the silo to disable the rocket, etc.) such that cyber-countermeasures might not have been needed at all.
Also, why didn't Argus get the freakin' device from Palmer Industries. Just show up with a warrant (I'm sure their could have been a presidential order or something) and guns, and just take it in the interest of national security. Also, send the National Guard to Star City to get Darhk.
That all said, there was a lot of good in the episode, between Mama Smoak and Thea's adventure.

Or Curtis Holt. That was his lab, wasn't it? (Or if not his, he it have been plausible that he was in there.)

Supergirls move could mean no Calista Flockhart if they no longer film in LA.

Her Cat Grant is the biggest thing keeping me from getting into the show, so I wouldn't be heartbroken if that were the case.
Could the move make a Henry Cavill cameo more likely through corporate synergy, or would the trimmed budget outweigh that?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't think the Supergirl universe Superman is meant to be Cavill. The Supergirl universe is way too positive for the Mope of Steel.

I agree with Kalshane - totally different Superman. What would be cool is if Supes showed up and looked just like Ray Palmer.
Losing Cat Grant would be a shame. I disliked her in the beginning, but she really grew on me as the show went on.

Supergirl has the same woven metal-looking costume as the Snyder movies, so I figure her Superman *looks* like theirs even if he occasionally smiles and talks to people instead of flying off to brood by himself in icy wastelands.
