Loved the episode 
Especially the "Easter eggs" (I counted 2) to Carter's more famous persona (and especially the "interesting" last shot of her
) Dont want to say much more, spoilers, so will wait a bit until more have got a round to seeing it
I will add that I loved Maggie and the dynamic she brings to the show. Look forward to seeing where that goes (possibly with Alex
).
All-in-all 3 for 3 so far for me this season. Hope it continues
Peace.

As I said in another thread, I love the addition of Maggie (as well as Snapper and Lena and even Mon-El). I was skeptical of taking on so many new cast members but they seem to be making it work. Actually with the dropping of Cat, Lucy and Max, the net effect is the same, but it seems they've scaled back Wynn and Jimmy's time as well as Kara's relationship troubles which is giving more time for actually storylines.
I thought the "Dolly Parton"-centric alien hangout was cute, and a neat plot device for Maggie and Alex going forward to get intel. While the whole "alien amnesty" thing reeked of similarities to the "mutant registration act", I liked the "positive" spin on it, rather than a negative slant (like Marvel's).
I really enjoy the last 5 mins of the CW shows for the cliffhanger surprises they show each week. This one was no exception and I can say I didn't see that coming!
I hope more people -- especially those frustrated with S1 -- give it a chance. It's getting better. Now I'll just sit back and wait for the inevitable rant about the absurd and 'unrealistic' logistics of the President's security detail, especially during the attacks.

I read that as more to do with the current US elections (with the show having a heavy Hillary slant) with the "aliens" being the immigrants Trump has spoken about. Didn't really draw the parallel with Marvel's Mutant Registration Act, but yeah, can see that too
Me too
Peace.

The parallels with the current political climate were pretty evident, unfortunately. I need my CW shows for a little escapism these days in fear for the next 4 years..... ::
