Having Silver Banshee around the office is a bit much.

[Golden Girl]

Kara thinks so too :P

[Tenzhi]

Ex-Kara vs. New Kara...

Why is there a keypad on a missile to input a code to deactivate the missile in flight?  Who *expects* someone to be on a missile in flight to enter such a code?

How is Bluepergirl 3 generations past the 31st century Braniac?

[Tenzhi]

Beats me.  When I looked up Indigo aka Brainiac 8 while watching the episode, however, her story in the comics seemed to involve the Metal Men, Cyborg, and the Teen Titans...

But I'm guessing there's a more mundane reason than time travel.  Speculation: The Coluans were said to be used as supercomputers by the Kryptonians - perhaps Brainiac 8 is a designation related to that.

The new girl in Catco is Silver Banshee?

[Golden Girl]

Yes - so poor Winn's in for more heartbreak :P

Yes - so poor Winn's in for more heartbreak :P

He must live on an Indian Burial ground or something....

Oh good, as if this show weren't already dangerously close to being Smallville 2.0 they're going to reuse the red K makes Kryptonians a dick story. Why not do something fun with it like have her grow an extra arm or turn into a baby or develop a luxuriant beard.

Because that would be too silly (personally, I'd vote for giant red ant head)

[Tenzhi]

It's been awhile since I watched the series, but didn't Lois & Clark also use that variety of red Kryptonite?

[Kaos Arcanna]

They always use Red K to make the Super a jerk storyline on TV because it's the easiest way to film it.

Spoiler for Hidden:

The J'onn J'onzz makeup is really very good.

That's not really a spoiler :P

[Tenzhi]

They really had to do the peanut flicking thing?

No booze was harmed in the filming of this episode.

Spoiler for Hidden:

What annoyed me is that Red K isn't already a part of this universe.  They didn't need to scan for unknown radiation.  They didn't need Max admitting he made it.  All they needed was Jimmy to recognize the symptoms having seen them in Superman.  Then everything else could have fit into the story the same.

Now as to what made me angry.  They are following the same damn pattern as Arrow and Flash.  Character #1 does something that upsets character #2.  Explanations happen that completely clear up the reason for those actions.  Character #2 then says "I totally understand why you did this and I don't blame you." Then they proceed to blame them anyway, sulk like a spoiled brat child, and stalk out of the room." And two weeks later things are back to normal.  Why are superhero shows so addicted to making adults behave so childishly?  I almost said DC superhero shows but it has also happened in SHIELD and Daredevil.

As far as I can tell the only possible sources of conflict for superhero tv writers are lying and who gets to go into dangerous situations :P
