Presumably the female Doomsday-like we saw being loaded into a ship on Krypton at the end of last season's finale.

I haven't used it since last season, but at least back then they went up immediately after the show ended on the west coast. So if the show starts at 8 the online site would have it at 9 or 9:05 or so (midnight for east coasters).

That was a nice episode. I assume PowerMom is gonna be Reign or whatever her name is from the end of last season.

I'd really love if we could do a CW season opener without the hero wondering if they should be pure hero or pure civilian. I mean I know it's the classic conflict at the heart of all of these stories but man I think they've done every twist on it possible. Hopefully this is them getting it over and done with early.

Yeah I thought this episode was a pretty strong start. I mean, I could go another...oh, forever without hearing about Mon-El again, much less how he's totes Kara's #1 true love soulmate <3, but overall the writing and acting was strong enough to support that story.

I like Supermom. She's got a real pleasant scream, and I mean that in the least psychotic way possible!

At this point the only role I've seen Adrian Pasdar in where he didn't play a completely unscrupulous dickhead has been Tony Stark in the Marvel animated universe. And that's saying something because it's Tony Stark!

As one of the three people that truly love Superman Returns, I really liked that opening of her listening. And while the CG was a bit dodgy with the water, that shot of her lifting the sub was money.

So glad this show is back.

Pretty sure that text to Lena Luthor at the end alludes that Kara's sticking around at CatCo now that her true love best friend owns the joint.

J'onn and Wynn comparing mopey Kara with mopey Alex was great, but not as great as Alex asking J'onn to giver her away at her wedding. This show is so goddamn sweet and charming.

Catco is gonna get run into the ground with all this nepotism. First Jimmy as CEO and now Kara is getting her job back despite kinda sucking at it.

Snapper weeps.

Knowing that Floriana Lima is leaving the show as a regular just makes all of this bittersweet. The hammer's gonna fall. Then Kara and Alex can commiserate and have mope nights together I guess.
But... drat. This relationship is so genuine and they have chemistry. I just don't know.

edit: fuuuck. I haven't fangirled about a relationship this much since Moonlighting.

Im holding out hope that they won't break them up, and just let Maggie float into the background for whenever Lima wants to head back up to Vancouver.

She's their spin on the New 52 character Reign, but it looks like the only thing they're bringing over from the comics is her name.
