Alien invaders? Lex Luthor? A rabid militia of masked supremacists? Sure, they all put up a decent fight, but Supergirl's previous foes pale in comparison to Season 5's apparent Big Bad: Internet clickbait!

I thought it was a solid premiere... the new Supergirl suit was cool, I'm not too red-hot about the new obsidian tech thing, but it might grow on me so that's like a thing to just wait and see how it plays out.

It also points to the refreshing re-centering the show is getting, five seasons in... With the new suit, and a new mission, it looks like that's back on, one leg at a time.
