My review:

This was another competent episode, well paced, nicely written, with some nice acting. Particular credit goes to Peter Facinelli, whose pitch-perfect delivery of low-key menace is shaping Maxwell Lord into perhaps the most interesting character on the show. And that's saying something, given how interesting some of the other characters are starting to become (eg. Hank Henshaw!)

Do I detect the beginnings of a Maxwell / Alex romance? Some of the dialogue suggests the establishing of the ol' trope made famous by movies starring the likes of Hepburn / Grant: characters who love to hate each other, who eventually realise they are made for each other in the final act. That might make life interesting for Kara.

There wasn't a lot wrong with the episode. Some of the train shots at the end (where Supergirl slows the carriages down) were clearly CGI, but aside from that the visuals worked pretty well. We obviously have a noticeable continuity bump in James / Lucy's relationship caused by the Paris attack's swapping of episodes -- rekindling their relationship last week but lukewarm this -- but that's entirely forgiveable under the circumstance. Aside from that there wasn't an awful lot else to comment on; the whole the episode ticked along nicely, it didn't blow me away, but then I don't think it was trying to..!

On a personal note, I tweeted a new pic (below) during the show and got an immediate response from some of the cast/crew (which was nice of them!) -- including a handful of tweets from David Harewood himself. Very glad DH has thrown his hat into the ring to be the next James Bond. I could really see him in the role (although, admittedly, my preference would edge slightly in favour of Idris Elba if he could be persuaded to do it!)

Nice job on the pic, R5, and very cool that some of the cast (deservedly) gave you kudos for it! Always nice to get positive feedback, especially from some major players inside the fandom themselves!
