- TriviaWhen Winn meets Superman, he asks him how he stopped Lex Luthor when he caused earthquakes in California. This is a reference to Luthor's plans from Superman (1978).
- GoofsWhen Superman flies up to Supergirl while they're saving the Venture, their capes are flying out behind them. However, since Supergirl was actually flying backwards while trying to slow down the falling plane, her cape should be flying the other way, as should Superman's while he's keeping pace with her.

Superman comes to town are a mysterious Kryptonian ship crashes in National City
SUPERGIRL (2015-Present) is back and on a new network--The CW. I was happy with the idea of the move from CBS to The CW. SUPERGIRL, although it takes place in an alternate reality, the series has the same show runners as ARROW, THE FLASH, and LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. Future crossover shows are being planned.
After Kara Danvers/ Kara Zor-El/ Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter/ Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) find a downed Kryptonian craft and it's unconscious pilot, they return to the DEO (Dept of Extranormal Operations).
Meanwhile, Kara and James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) have a first date, which is interrupted when a commercial spacecraft, The Venture, malfunctions. However, Supergirl isn't the only hero to the rescue. Superman/ Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) joins the rescue effort.. They soon uncover a much larger plot; one involving a never seen Lex Luthor who hires assassin, John Corbin (Frederick Schmidt), to kill his adopted sister Lena Luthor (Kate Mcgrath) who is taking over Lexcorp in the hopes of atoning for her brother's misdeeds.
This episode, aptly titled ADVENTURES OF SUPERGIRL, was nothing short of spectacular. It was about forty some odd minutes of action, adventure, comedy,and drama. Most of all it was fun. I didn't want it to end.
Have been very pleased with the acting and the chemistry emanating from this cast, specifically the relationship between Kara and her adoptive sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh). This duo has very strong on screen chemistry that I find very appealing. After a strong plot line, I love seeing actors that just have this incredibly strong bond on screen. It almost feels like Benoist and Leigh have known each other for years.
I also love the evolution of the relationship between Kara and her boss, Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart). Flockhart expertly totes the line between THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and the pushy "big sister" who really does want nothing but the best for her younger counterpart, and will continue to push her to success. Since the show has moved filming from LA to Vancouver, Flockhart will now only be a recurring cast member, which is a bit of a shame.
As stated, Superman has a guest starring role in this week's (and next) episode. A few months ago, The CW released a poster of Supergirl and Superman. Hoechlin didn't look all that bad. I liked it. What really got my attention, though was the two minute clip of them in action.
Tyler Hoechlin doesn't disappoint. He actually seems to channel both Dean Cain and Christopher Reeve. This version of Superman is approachable, kind, and even cracks a few small jokes. At one point, Clark and Kara are in the elevator with a another female occupant, and Clark has an accidental clumsy mishap. Later, Kara notes that Clark really has the act down. He responds by saying that he had meant to do that.
This was a terrific second season premiere, and the best episode since The Flash came to town. It's everything a primetime superhero show should be, and I'm very much looking forward to the next episode.
