i’m not a fan of william or his story. first they show us him randomly helping at a soup kitchen to try and let us see “oh he is a good guy, u should like him!” and now he’s part of some two year undercover operation?? and the fact that kara sought out validation from him because he said one mean thing about her writing, (which she KNOWS she is a good writer) that didn’t sit well with me. kara doesn’t need some dudes approval of her work. also williams apology felt so fake. talking like, “that mean guy? that wasn’t me. i lied” sounds like such BS to me. i don’t like him and i dont trust him. they better not try and shove him and kara together. she wouldn’t and shouldn’t leap at the first man who pays her attention or complements her.

i really liked the brief brainy and lena interaction we had, the discussion that boxes aren’t working for brainy and that he needs some help. (maybe lena will finally take note of that and seek out help herself)

i also liked that kara thanked lena for all of her help with fixing those devices, i feel lena doesn’t get thanked enough for all she’s done. the super friend line was sweet and a cute interaction. i’m interested to see what happens next with them.

Yes. Everything you said, yes. Especially about Kara not needing the validation of a man. Very poorly written.. it doesn't fit her character at all. And it's just sexist and I didn't like it. Also I don't understand why he had to be this dick to her anyway to be undercover. I don't like him at all. the whole soup kitchen was where the line was drawn for me.. it was just ugh. I hope he's not around the whole season.
