To be fair, w/ Sara’s speech to Bishop right before the big reveal, I do think it’s clear the show is agreeing w/ you on that point – that Sara’s scars and other flaws are still perfect to her, and it reinforces Bishop as the bad guy by getting rid of those things that meant so much
So long as Bishop’s cloning technology remains intact, though I’m not sure if I see that surviving the season. If it does get destroyed when he’s taken down, then Sara and Ava would be more mortal then they’ve ever been 
True, though I feel like it’s still accurate to call it a retcon as well since it does change how you’d view Cecile in earlier seasons knowing that she went through all that hell
I guess we don’t know 100%, though I had assumed like most that this is still taking place present day around when the other shows are happening. But I’ve also seen people speculate more and more about this, w/ some people saying that the boys were actually still babies during Crisis, Supergirl will pull an Arrow and kill off Kara by the finale and S&L takes place years later when the boys are teenagers. But even if that’s all true, it wouldn’t mean that Kara never existed. And if this does happen to take place right before Kara’s pod came to earth, that’d put this show nearly 20 years in the past, and so Jonathan and Jordan would be in their 30s now, which wouldn’t line up w/ Lois still looking the same at the end of Crisis. If this was the case, she’d have to be aged up somewhat. But then again, this show has already contradicted the end of Crisis by giving Supes the red heat vision instead of blue, so who really knows at this point? Not me
And for the 2nd time. Jonathan might not have powers (yet?), but I’d say he already has a nemesis
Exactly, and that’s the big difference that I don’t think has really been pointed out on the show so far. W/out someone like Lois to keep him grounded and remind him of his humanity, it makes more sense that this alternate earth Supes would be more susceptible to Edge’s schemes
Idk, he’s definitely the type to be prepared for all sorts of eventualities, so the more we learned about him, the more I believed that he’d be the type of person to have a cure like that on hand. Though that belief also made the twist all the more shocking
Ooo, that’s an interesting point. Considering the many times Sara has died and been revived already, maybe it could be revealed that those were also “resets” of her life like this. It’d certainly soften the blow to discover that this actually isn’t even the 1st time she’s been through it
I definitely get the logic behind this and I’m still kinda conflicted on it. On the one hand, it’d be really cool to see Kate take up a new identity from the comics, and Wallis Day is awesome so I couldn’t really complain too much about seeing more of her. But on the other hand, I feel like 1 of the main flaws of the Arrowverse shows is that the longer they go on, the more they lose focus on the lead as these teams continue to grow. That kind of a moot point for something like Legends, which is already mostly an ensemble show, but it’s definitely affected Arrow, Flash and Supergirl in negative ways. I appreciate how Batwoman has been able to keep the main team to just 2 or 3 people this whole time and subvert that, but if Kate and maybe even Sophie (re)join the team, you could start to see it slipping into that territory. Not that it’s objectively impossible to lose focus on the lead if it happens, but I’d still be weary given the network history
You heard right! And it’s definitely not GL. In fact, there’s already been an official look at his character in 2 weeks! Given the western setting and big mustache, I think he’s gonna be Bass Reeves
I guess you could say they’ve been laying the groundwork of this since she got hit by that psychic lightning bolt, but we also haven’t had any reason to be suspicious of her until that previous episode. It definitely would’ve hit harder if there had been more buildup
Well we’re gonna have to wait an extra week on that. The next episode is Allegra-centric w/ the teaser saying that Flash is “off the grid” 
Oh yeah, he was part of that final fight against the Anti-Monitor on Earth-Prime, and we had that quick scene of him and Lois talking about Jonathan and Jordan afterwards. So yeah, none of this really makes any sense. I know some of the writers have tried saying that because COVID threw off their schedules so much they couldn’t really reference the other shows so as not to spoil anything, but that logic just doesn’t hold up. Not only has every other Arrowverse show made some sort of reference to another this year, but you can make vague, general mentions/references to Kara w/out spoiling something big like her being trapped in the Phantom Zone
If that does happen, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her make an occasional appearance. Wallis Day has been really excited to take on this role, so I can’t imagine she’d be opposed to returning
That’s the main argument, isn’t it? Because it’s like she is but she technically isn’t. You don’t really think about this too much when you’re copying data from 1 drive to another, but humans are far more complex. Unless you’re Bishop, apparently, then they’re only moderately more complex. I’m sure this debate on the show is only beginning
It does make the twist all the more powerful when we can see her reaction at the same time as processing our own
