Considering we've had at least four different alien species that are indistinguishable from humans on Supergirl (not including shapeshifters) it's only fair that some of the non-human-looking alien species should look like each other.

A common complaint about the (otherwise excellent) Justice League animated series was that the characters' power levels tended to fluctuate based on the need of the plot. People tend to consider Superman the worst victim of the trend, but for my money the most hilarious example was an early episode where the Flash has…

I recognized that Camila was Nadine Velazquez right away, but I didn't realize that Linda was former MadTV mainstay Debra Wilson until I looked it up after the episode. I'm guessing those tattoos are real, because that would be a heck of a lot of makeup work to just add a little flavor to a bit character on a Syfy…

Maybe if the first one was called "Jingle Part of the Way" or something we could help you. But they jingled all the way. There's no more way left to jingle.

I do wish Barry would just sit Cisco down and spell out his entire sad litany of time travel failure to explain why he won't save his brother.

Flashfreeze!

Does that mean Barry's going to start aging backwards now? 'Cause then he can be Kid Flash.

I thought she just said that masks were a thing in "that other city" (or something like that), but didn't specifically say which city. I have a historically bad memory for little details like that, but I could swear there were people theorizing that she might have meant Star City or Central City.

It took me longer than I care to admit to realize that "Quirkducers" was a play on "Quirky" + "Producers" and not "Quirky" + "Turducken."

That just reminds me of games I've played where you roll a six-sided die, but if you roll a six you roll again and add it to your previous roll. Which technically makes it impossible to actually get a final total of 6. And if you point that out to someone, you can always watch their face and see it bouncing around in…

Hey, Superman's always showing up with a lion's head or transparent skin or compound eyes and antennae - if Kelex cared what someone looked like, Clark would get attacked by his own security system every time he ran into Red Kryptonite.

That's more of a running gag than anything else, that most green Martians have names that sound suspiciously like common Earth names, but with lots of apostrophes (i.e., Megan is M'Gann, John is J'onn). Although there was one on Young Justice named B'arzz O'oomm which was delightful (if you don't get the joke:…

While we may find out that the project was, in fact, named by Superman or Luthor, as people are suggesting, don't forget that this is a fictional universe in which there is a planet called Apokolips whence hail aliens named Darkseid, Orion, DeSaad, Steppenwolf, Virman Vundabar, Sleez, Scott Free*, etc. etc. etc.

That would actually be really cool, if they had any of the Supergirl cast appear in the Arrowvers or the Arrowverse shows' casts appear on Supergirl as the alternate versions of themselves. I'd especially love to see the Earth-3 (or whatever number Supergirl is) Harrison Wells.

It always pains me how often superheroes are written as wanting to protect their secret IDs at all costs, but completely oblivious to how suspicious it should be that their secret ID seems obsessed with defending the honor of their superhero ID. (Mind you I say "should be" because no one ever seems to actually notice)…

Marsters is one of those fun celebrities that get their big break using an accent other than their own, and when they start getting work using their natural accent people who assume that whatever accent they first heard them using must be their real accent start claiming online that they just can't believe how bad…

Part of me hopes this is part of someone's Producers-like scheme to finally get rid of the Inhumans. "If we can make the Inhumans Marvel Studios' most expensive failure ever, maybe we can finally convince the bosses to stop trying to make people care about them."

I wonder, now that they've got Mechad Brooks running around in powered armor fighting crime because he was inspired by Superman, if anyone on the show is kicking themselves for making him Jimmy Olsen instead of John Henry Irons. For that matter, I'm kind of surprised we haven't actually gotten a John Henry Irons on…

I'm really surprised they actually went with the name, if for no other reason than calling him "Cyborg" anything seems like the kind of thing the DC/WB execs would shy away from for fear of people thinking the evil guy on Supergirl is the same character as the Cyborg that's going to be in the Justice League movie. I…

It would be hilarious if, when Power Girl shows up, she's just Melissa Benoist in a really, really stuffed top. I don't know how you would rationalize that - if she's not going to have the same body, there's no reason she should have the same face - but it would be a great nod to the character's comic book background.
