Lara named it after her actual secret first/first husband who was a Czarnian luchador. Oops BTW, Kal has another brother...

#1 is what I came here to post about. At least in Man of Steel they had like a library-style Dewey Decimal/giant RNA tank where, one assumes, the central computer knew where each person's imprint was kept. Here they plucked Lara from where exactly? 

Cuz gotta have her own space.

Kate Kane’s brain is too fried to get back in the bat-suit any time soon. Maybe in a season cliffhanger. It’ll happen, I suppose, at some point - my guess would be in an arc leading into the series' finale.

Shades of Galaxy Quest in Mick and Kayla’s hook-up too.

I thought they were firing on all cylinders tonight. I did want more Rory and Kayla, but I think that was due to an expectation game where due to reading various synopsis(es?) it seemed like this ep was going to be Mick & Kayla focused ... instead it was a team effort.

 

Now playing

Sounds a bit like Steve Martin’s “Special Purpose” from The Jerk.

I get that Netflix doesn’t own the show, it just seemed like they had some like non-compete clause between Netflix and Disney where if the show was on Netflix, Disney contractually was not able to say “Oh as soon as they’re done on Netflix, we’re going to do all these cool things with this character and that

I agree with the grade. I liked that A) They jumped ahead of Wrecker’s headache story and were all like, “Oh, that’s just his chip implant acting up again, no biggie.” So at least they weren’t (and we in the audience weren’t forced to watch them) having to go through the whole process of diagnosing the problem and

This occurred to me too. Gotta give them their 3 years to come out from under their contract. (3 right?) Then they can start talking about where May, Mack, and Fitzsimmons are keeping themselves. Until then it remains “Nope. We have nothing to do with them.”

Chester didn’t need to get zapped with the happy-party eye-beams because he's always like that.

80% sure she'll be back.

You also get shades of Owen Wilson: late-middle-age procedural cop-show crime scene detective. And it works fantastically!

That impressed me after Endgame and here too, it’s like the MCU brain trust is telling its collective audience, “Fuck you, go watch Thor 2 - ha ha because now you have to.”

Wait, who did Astra have in her spare-change pocket? Ed Gein and who else?

Lightbulb ding:

Yeah, I’m glad they kept that guy. Now if we can get Barry, Bruce, and Clark on screen together, all I’d want is for the three of them to look at each other and go, “S’up.” ... “Not much, you?” ... “Eh, same old same old.”

And Ava going, “Pew-pew-pew” while shooting pages from her binder. I can’t stop smiling!

When Zari’s flip-phone began biting on Crowley, she made a “Nom-nom-num” sound that really REALLY cracked me up. Imagine Tala Ashe recording that bit in ADR ... I ... um ... it’s goofyness transcendent.
