There’s a new Kryptonian in town and Kara Zor El, Supergirl, makes her presence known to Clark and makes it pretty apparent that Krypton had a strict No Ugly People Allowed ordinance in effect.
And I graciously thank them for it…
The Random:
1. I love watching Chloe and Lex face off. He’s not afraid to openly threaten her, and she’s not afraid to tell him she won’t brook that sort of sass. It’s a nice relationship.
2. The introduction of Grant Gabriel as chief at the Daily Planet is immediately fun, and a good way for them to bring Lois to the Planet on a more permanent basis.
3. Anyone else catch Clark’s disappointment when he realizes he and Kara are cousins, because I sure did. Sorry, CK, gotta keep it in your pants. And, boy, is it ever gonna get interesting when Lex’s obsession with finding her for pulling him out of the submerged cop car catches up with everyone…
The Awesome:

The Awesome:
1. Kara entering the show adds more to the mythos of the show and it was smart to partially base her origins on Jeph Loeb’s arc of Superman/Batman because it was a bit less convoluted than some of her other ones. That she’s ridiculously hot and more skilled with her powers than Clark is just makes it better.
2. The portrayal of Kara as a fish out of water, dealing with the ramifications of the revelations about Krypton and how much has changed since she entered suspended animation is really well done and it makes you feel for her, especially since she remembers Krypton, unlike Clark.
3. There are some great family rivalries building up as Jor El tries to sell Clark on the idea that Kara isn’t one of the good guys because he and her father distrusted one another, and Grant’s placement of Lois in the Daily Planet newsroom directly across from Chloe pits another set of cousins into competition. Fun is just around the corner.

| With all of its impossibly beautiful people, Krypton is very clearly the intergalactic equivalent of Rio de Janiero. |
The WTF?!:
1. A dam exploding should be enough for the authorities to declare the area a distaster zone, but instead it’s open for anyone to just traipse on through and after days, no one at all seems to have noticed the giant spaceship sticking out of the ground. Must be a FEMA investigation.
2. Once again, civilians are able to easily access classified military installations at will, even during evacuation procedures. It’s no wonder the world needs people like Superman because this fictional version is populated by a bunch of irresponsible morons.
3. Is Lex not only calling Lana brilliant but also begging for her to come back to him? He can’t possibly be the criminal mastermind he’s supposed to be. She’s already presumed dead, and he was cleared, so he had a chance to end her once and for all. They don’t make criminal geniuses like they used to. Except me, of course.
