Supergirl Season 2 Midseason Report Card: Biggest Surprise, Best Plot Twist and More!

at .  Updated at .

So much has happened already on Supergirl Season 2.

We were introduced to several new characters, Project Cadmus wreaked havoc on our heroes, and almost everyone had a secret to hide. 

We're taking a look back at some of the best and worst moments in our mid-season report card. Take a look and let us know your thoughts on the season so far!

1. Best Mon-El "Fish Out of Water" Moment

Mon-El has been a fantastic addition to the cast, and we're loving watching him adjust to life on Earth. From not knowing how to use the phone at CatCo to his confusion over mating rituals, it's nearly impossible to choose a favorite. But, we're going with him showing up to Thanksgiving with stuffing from his mattress as our winner.

2. Biggest Letdown

The CW advertised a four night crossover event, but it was really more of a three night event featuring four shows. The thirty seconds at the tail end of Supergirl didn't really count, especially considering the whole scene was replayed on The Flash. If you only tuned into Supergirl because of the crossover, you were probably pretty disappointed.

3. Best Plot Twist

The mysterious leader of Cadmus was nameless for the first few episodes of the season, and we definitely wondered who she was. Still, we were completely shocked to find out that she was Lillian Luthor, Lena's mother! It set us up for an interesting dynamic between mother and adopted daughter, and we can't wait to see what happens next.

4. Worst Resolution of a Storyline

When M'gann's blood started changing J'onn into a White Martian, we thought we were in for an interesting story. The build up was great, but the resolution? Not so much. The whole thing was wrapped up with a throw away line from Eliza saying she fixed him, and that was that.

5. Biggest Surprise

The series moving to the CW meant significantly less Cat, and we have to admit we were very worried about that. However, we don't miss her nearly as much as we thought we would. That doesn't mean we don't miss her at all of course, and we still hope she pops up from time to time, but we're enjoying the series just fine without her every week.

6. Most "CW" Plot Development

Why does everyone on The CW shows have to be a superhero? Nearly everyone has powers on The Flash now, Arrow is full of vigilantes, and now Supergirl has one too. We love both James and Winn as characters, and their team up has been fun at times, but overall we are just not feeling James as Guardian.

7. Best Unexpected Character Development

We can't say we were expecting it, but Alex's entire coming out journey has been amazing to watch. Chyler Leigh is consistenly knocking it out of the park, and we can't help but root for Alex and Maggie. They're adorable, and it's great to see Alex have a life outside of the DEO and Kara.

8. Biggest Headscratcher

How did Cadmus know where to find the Fortress of Solitude, and how did they know they would need Supergirl's blood to get in? Why doesn't Superman have some better security measures? We're also a little curious why a robot that looks like Hank Henshaw is calling himself Cyborg Superman.

9. Most Supportive Parent

Eliza Danvers for the win! Kara is learning that her birth parents weren't who she thought they were, Lena's mom is a sociopath, Cat's not winning any mom of the year awards, and we're not really sure what to make of Jeremiah yet. Eliza though has come through time and again for her daughters, especially when Alex came out to her.

10. Biggest Geek Out Moment

Biggest geek out moment

Winn: Ok so this is a bit of a rush job, but they should keep you alive. What do you think?
J'onn; Nice job, Mr. Schott. You should be -
Winn: Not you.
Clark: I love it.
Kara: Are you crying?
Winn: No...

How great was it when Winn met Superman? Designing his suit was like a dream come true for him. Here's hoping Superman returns in the second half of the season so we can get more moments like this.

11. Sneakiest Drinker

C'mon, who didn't giggle when Alex snuck back to the freezer after Kara stole her beer and put it in there? What made it even funnier was that Alex didn't grab her beer back out, but opted for the bottle of liquor instead. Moments later, she attempts a drunken toast holding a glass of wine. We hope we get to see more of drunk Alex in the future.

12. Most Clever Inside Joke

Lynda Carter, AKA Wonder Woman, guest starred as the POTUS, so of course the writers had to give fans a little nod to her famous character. We also learned that she's an alien, so we're banking on another guest appearance before the end of the season.
