Supergirl Season 3 Review / Thoughts
Starting this thread to post / share my thoughts of Supergirl the series. Know this character and series isn't
everyone's cup of tea, but I absolutely LOVE this character and series That and everywhere else I've tried
to post and share this has either shut down or become so toxic... so while FMP board is still around, hope
everyone will indulge me on this.
So season 3 opens with a beautiful scene of Kara in a field with Mon-El and her Mother. Will have to see how
Erica Durance does in place of Laura Benanti, but I'm keeping an open mind. Also have to love the transition
of Supergirl floating above the city with her trademark bended knee pose, to the action of her intervening in
a police chase with heavy weapons and a gatling gun at point blank range. Boy the IQ of the criminal element
in National City after 3 years... but on the flip side she's dealing with the loss of her love after the battle
with Daxam, and Melissa B still continues to sell her hurt and pain so well!
For things cast-wise, seems Cat Grant has now become White House Press Secretary, and Snapper Carr is "on
sabbatical" -- I definitely hope Calista Flockheart continues to be a presence this season. Loved the Lena
Luthor & Kara Danvers scenes -- especially how Lena tries to reconnect with Kara after last season. PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE TPTB, keep Lena on Team Supergirl. Also love the time taken and spent on Alex and Kara Danvers this episode,
and the dichotomy between Kara Danvers and Supergirl. Again, done so well and sold like water in a drought. As
for Alex and Maggie, will see how things go in the future given Florina Lima's availability.
For the new cast, the guy doing Morgan Edge : wow... fullon capitalist with a Capital C and Ad hominem attacker
to the max! Wonder who he reminds me of? As for the villan of the week... not alot of time spent on him, so
bit of a blank slate. As for the new character of Reign... well, pretty good intro, especially her discovering
her Kryptonian abilities... will have to see where things go. The nightmare fuel end scene? YARG!!!
Stuff / Lines I loved :
- "Did I mention potstickers?"
- "You beepered me for a deadline?"
- "I really miss my sister."
- Mention of General Lane and what he's done with an alien ship. Don't know if his actor's available for future episodes,
but it's little bits of continuity like this that tie the whole thing together IMO.
- action scenes of Supergirl underwater, and lifting an entire sub... now THAT is EPIC!!
- final pose Supergirl strikes when meeting with Lena and Morgan Edge... and how HE'S got HER full attention, where
she leaves him, and the flight pose. +9000!!

Still have to start with it ... does it keep that girly?

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

Define "girly?" If you mean like "chick flick" and/or "rom-com" girly, then no. Believe me, there's plenty of action to go
between the the drama and interpersonals scenes.

S0302 enjoyable but slow episode. I LOVED the opening scene of the contrast between how Maggie & Alex, Samantha / Reign
and Kara Danvers wake up. Also loved seeing Lena Luthor come up Cat's private elevator, and showing Eve Tesmacher again.
Loved the Kara / Lena scenes -- Lena's "I'm the boss!" speech, YARG! -- but we also got the "I'm a friend" speech and a
hug at the end. I also loved the Kara / Alex scenes; the last one of them watching the 1939 version of Wizard of Oz put
a HUUUUGE grin on my face!
I also can't praise Melissa B's acting skill again portraying the emotions she has to feel : fear, loss, and working through
the pain; sells it like water in a drought!
There's still dark opening logo, which I can understand to show Supergirl's still somewhat in a dark place and getting out,
but on the other, can't help but think there may be darker / ulterior motives to this. There's also Supergirl's own "if I
don't have Supergirl, what do I have?" introspective. Will have to see where this goes. Also palatable in the Jimmy / Lena
scenes how he's left out of the loop, and possibly getting the shaft? Exactly what is up with his character this season,
and what the writers and TPTB will do with him's still an open question.
The bit with J'onn not being able to read Kryptonian minds, but " i can't but i can scan her mind for residual psychic
activity," never mind how he's taken off the board so easily, breaks Suspension of Disbelief meter... but least it lets Supergirl
shine in the episode.
(Lena) Luthorisms to remember :
- Luthors hire private investigators on the first day of school to make sure teacher's credentials were up to date.
- "Luthors don't have friends, we have minions."
Stuff I Loved :
- first person view of Kara leaving Krypton -- so well done, and so appropos to show Kara's POV as she left Krypton, and what
she must have been feeling.
- Supergirl flying up and busting out of the elevator / building... okay, that's going to leave a mark, but SOOOO EPIC!
- Supergirl fist to ground and up, up and away... nuff seid!
- "Mind over matter" + headbutt by Supergirl. HAHAHAHAH! LOVED IT!
- Alex stare down of Winn... heheheeh

s03EP03, another enjoyable mirror episode, reflecting between Maggie's broken relationship with her father,
compared to J'onn returning to Mars to find his father alive but believing J'onn dead or a trick of the
White Martians.
In preparation for the impending nuptuals, Alex has to endure the cheezy mom of the bride torture by Eliza
Danvers -- Helen Slater zen moment for this, even though it was a VERY brief moment -- leading to the
exposition of Maggie's summary disowning and being cut out of her parents' life, and attempt to patch up the
relationship. And as much as the respective actors sold me on "the bridge too far" bit at the end, was sad
to see the relationship not repaired and left as a "I don't need you anymore, I'm strong enough to go on my
own" thing.
More interesting was watching Hank Henshaw / J'onn and Kara Danvers / Supergirl go to Mars, in a shapeshifting
classic 50s car no less! Better still the comment of without a gate on both ends, "the Stargate" can't be
used to transport them to Mars. Some great moments of Supergirl supporting J'onn emotionally in turn and
helping J'onn eventually repair that relationship. Hope J'onn's Father is shown more in the future, just as a
sense of continuity. What cracked me up the most was when Supergirl pulls up in the car to Britney Spears'
"Hit Me Baby One More Time" and making a "must've made a wrong turn at Albuquerque" crack. Also her using
superstrength and superspeed vs the White Martians -- which I consider a Round 2 WHICH SUPERGIRL DECISIVELY WON
THIS TIME! -- the highlight of the episode.
My complaint though is on the sloppy writing leading up to that -- I'd've preferred if she used her powers
to be the "we WILL stay here IN PEACE till..." peace enforcer. Never mind the bit of Supergirl disintegrating
several of the White Martians -- I've long believed that the S Shield stands for something, and that killing
should be used as a very last resort, but...
Lines That I Loved :
"Your battles are my battles."
"Can everyone on this planet do that?" / "No, she is special."
Regards

An episode of the Supers viewed as gods... which can be good or bad. This episode had its moments but seemed to fall into the latter.
The moments I did like :
- opening scene of the pilot episode and Kara saving Flight 237.
- Girls Night Out scene with Kara, Lena, Sam and Maggie.
- Jimmy and Winn at Catco and their comment of "No fighting crime? Bowling, then?"
- Jimmy scene recollecting of Superman first saving him. Beautifully done, wish and hope there's more like that.
- Burning building scene riffing on Superman 3 and the chemical plant fire.
- the Betahedron, like an Omegahedron, but smaller.
- final Supergirl action scene with green kryptonite, and instead of flying The Big Bad up, up and away, tunnel it to the center of the earth.
- J'onn and his father praying scene.
- Alex's "I want to be a mom too" breakdown scene. BRILLIANT acting by Chyler L.
- the final "you will reign" scene, and probe under the National City waterfront.
The main weakness was the A plot, especially the whole "cult of Supergirl." The whole setup seemed weak and poorly plotted, never mind
how the "head priest" knew he was dealing with Supergirl, and claimed he was able to "[find] everything to do with Krypton." So how did
he have the time and money to do that, never mind translating the language.
Lines I loved :
- Kara : "I remember all of them," and "I am no god!"
- Lena : "I have the worst mother, objectively speaking."
- Jimmy : "How are you [Kara] not a miracle?"
- Head Priest : "That was supposed to turn it off, it's not turning off!" and "I will pray to you, but I will pray for you."
- "They're not worshipping you, they're inspired by you."
Regards

S03E05
Liked this episode alot more than last week. Has a good bit of continuation from last season with fallout from when Lena constructs a
device to seed earth's atmosphere with lead to deal with the Daxamite invasion. Opens with a scene of another Danvers sister stopping
a near prisoner escape from a prison bus, but would have preferred it a pure Supergirl win. The "Anyone else?" line was just icing on
the cake.
A Plot is the bit with kids of National City falling sick, and Morgan Edge using all his time and resources to paint Lena as the cause
of it all. "Supergirl pushed the button, but the tech was Lena's," damn does Edge REALLY have an axe to grind with her. Also some good
moments of the fallout, like the 1:1 confrontation between a father of an affected child with Lena, Lena getting drunk, and Lena going
Luthoresque and pulling a gun on Edge. The final rescue scene on the plane between Supergirl and Lena broke the Suspension Of Disbelief
Meter(TM) -- plane splits apart, and Supergirl has to pick between saving the piece with one or saving the piece for many -- but hey, they
needed the dramatics. The win goes to Edge though, as he eliminates the evidence trail -- fits the bastard to a tee -- and gets the last
word on Supergirl, especially about capes not having what it takes [to take him down dirty].
B Plot is the Alex and Maggie breakup over kids... great acting by the two, and farewell to Lima Florina, but may have dragged alittle
too long, like the Cindi Lauper "All Through The Night" packing scene, and the makeup sex scene.
Some great interpersonal scenes as well, such as between James Olsen and Lena Luthor and them becoming closer on a personal level at
the end, the "See, this is what friends are for" scene between Sam and Lena. End scenes move the plot forward, with Kara finding
Alex in a bar over her loss of Maggie, and Sam finding another reason as to her non-human origins.
Lines I loved this ep :
Lena (about Edge) : "What's that scumbag doing in my hospital?"
Lena (holding a gun to Edge) : "I'm thinking like a Luthor."
Supergirl (to Edge) : "You have no idea what I am capable of."
Maggie's final words to Alex : "You're going to be a great mom."
Kara to Alex "We're going home."

The long awaited "flashback" episode, with a look what youth was like for Kara and Alex. Liked the Thelma and Louise feel of
Kara and Alex driving home in J'onn's car. Also loved the Helen Slater Zen, and the 1:1 scenes between Melissa B and Helen
S. So meta when you think that it's literally two Supergirls talking to one another. Also loved the 1:1 between Melissa B
and Chyler L; the pre-bed sister fight, this time with alcohol was amusing.
Which leads to flashing back 10years ago, and how Kara still hasn't adjusted to life on earth, nor has Alex adjusted to Kara...
and the family is still dealing with the loss of Jeremiah Danvers. Some funny moments of the interactions of everyone, like
- Kara using superspeed to the bathroom.
- all day sibling fights... aaaah, the memories.
- Kara mentioning her cousin's encounters with Lex Luthor.
- Kara's powers not fully under control, like heatvision and superleaps.
- J'onn brought in as an FBI Agent aware of the supers, and wanting Kara to be safe... in line with established inshow canon
with his promise to watch out for the Danvers sisters, but not entirely sure how he contacted Eliza, or Eliza contacted him.
Kara's earpiercings are shown to have been around this time as well, so is it something she came to Earth with from Krypton?
Something I've been wondering about since S1.
Three points I'm not sure about :
- Kara using Xrays to see underground. Umm, not sure that's how it works.
- comment from Kara about "Clark has a friend named Chloe." Like the Smallville callback, but since S1 kind of established that
Kara didn't have a close relationship with her cousin.
- kind of wish there was a grave scene before Kara and Alex left Midvale, just as a nice touch, but there's that annoying thing called timing.
Lines I Loved :
- "She's coming!"
- "We could go flying? I won't tell mom."
- "If we scratch [J'onn's] car he'll put us in confinement."

Wow! Episode was firing on all cylinders! LOVED THIS EPISODE!
A-plot is the final reveal of the underwater ship in National City Harbor, which has apparently been there for 12,000years and made of
no materials from earth. Onboard is Mon-El and 5 others, including Imara. At first seems wierd that Mon-el is so closed off and not
forthcoming with the details, so with him trying to steal some tech from the DEO that Supergirl had to knock him out -- "shame on me
for having a human heart" -- then suckering Winn to help him out -- AGAIN?! -- but Mon-El insists he hasn't forgotten Kara and can still
be trusted. Loved the performance Chris Wood gave when he finally revealed while 7months had passed for Kara, it had been infact 7years
for him living on 31st century Earth. LOVED the namedrop of Querl / Brainiac 12, and Imara as Saturn Girl from Titan. Final big reveal
Mon-El gives is the fact he's married to Imara. OUCH!!
B-plot is J'onn's father at the DEO and doesn't know where the bathroom is... but more importantly trying to break out of the prisoner
mentality. J'onn tries some 1:1 time, but his father can tell he doesn't have his son's full attention. Thankfully though their
relationship continues to improve and move forward for the better by the end.
C-plot is Samantha, and her quest to find out what exactly is up with her. Scene of her and her adopted mother... definitely no love
lost there, or the unexpected (grand)daughter. Superman-esque backstory with the whole "I found you abandoned in this wierd pod, which
I've stored in our backyard shed behind our house." Course the Donner-esque origin story doesn't stop there with a crystal leading
Samantha to the middle of the desert, then growing a whole fortress (of sanctuary) in the middle of nowhere. Samantha's hopeful that
"[she's] like Supergirl," and that she can keep her existing life, but the final "I have awakened" scene... DUNDUNDUN!!
Lines / Scenes I loved :
- Kara : "I saw Clark do this" -- SUCH a Superman 1 callback -- then a teleport(?) by J'onn.
- J'onn's Father : "I understand the appeal of ku-off-EE!"
- J'onn : "We could make this our home... if you like."
Regards

On a good day, a Tomahawk can fly into the door of a two-car garage at the distance of several hundred miles. And that can ruin your whole day.

WOW! Another ep that was firing on all cylinders! LOVE IT!
Another crossover ep with Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. And introduction to Earth-X where Nazi Germany won WW2.
Definitely a dark earth to be, with Arrow, Eobard Thawn and Supergirl... I mean Overgirl... on the side of the Nazis. LOVE
the Overgirl costume, and looking forward to Melissa B's performance in this character.
Opens with Guardian v Arrow, with Arrow on the side against the Nazis. On their respective earths is everyone preparing
for Flash / Barry Allen's wedding to Iris West. Amusing to see Flash, Arrow and Supergirl tied up with their respective
supering... seeing Supergirl v a Dominator, and dropping the Dominator on a car? And her quip "you guys are so last year?"
PRICELESS!
Nice Danvers Sister Moment(TM) in the apartment, with Supergirl still working through the news last week of Mon-El, and Alex
still getting over her own breakup. Getting the sense that in the future Alex is going into alcoholism territory with the
amount of booze she's putting away, but liked the reverse psychology she uses in getting Kara motivated and off the couch to
attend the wedding.
More priceless moments in the leadup to the nuptuals, with Kara's (superstrong) nails being impervious to a pedicure, Heatwave
being his usual pig self with the food, booze, opposite sex, and other guests, and Alex meeting White Canary... over alcohol
no less, leading to a makeout session outside during the speech portion of the rehersal dinner, a 1night stand, and the awkward
sneak out an explanation the next morning. Also liked the Kara and Barry 1:1, and Kara revealing the full details of Mon-El
to him -- still hoping for a moment for Kara to mentor Barry sometime in the future. But Kara is able to do a nice thing for
Barry during the ceremony when she sings as the bride walks down the aisle. Beautiful and SWEEEEEEET moment!
Action begins when the priest gives the "speak now or forever hold your peace," then Overgirl vaporizes him as she floats above.
Kind of felt like Supergirl was shortchanged / reduced to a guest in her own show in the action scenes, but considering it's
4 groups of superheroes in one episode... plus the Kara v Overgirl battle sequences, plus the EPIC! supersonic clap takedown of
Overgirl (to say nothing of all the windows in the building)... YAY!!
Great lead-in to the rest of the episodes. Can't wait for the rest of this!!
Scenes / Lines I loved :
Any scene with Overgirl
Alex : "she's fine, she's Supergirl"
Cisco : "Time you introduced these guys to your mean roommate."
Heatwave "Best wedding ever!"
Regards

The awaited episode of "Exit stage left, Sam. Enter stage right, Reign / Worldkiller." Definitely another episode
that was firing on all cylinders, but parts of it felt incomplete. First off, Sam waking up from her E07 experience
and thinking and acting like it was just a bad dream. Then there's the return of the creepy "priest" from E04, and
how he'd spent the last two years traveling the world and met The Forgotten -- specifically a disgraced Kryptonian
priestess from Fort Roz with knowledge of the Kryptonian equivalent of the Devil, but Supergirl's own investigations
into this netted nothing -- while I loved AI Alura's line of "I represent the total accumulation of knowledge of the
28 known galaxies," my Suspension of Disbelief Meter(TM) broke at this apparent contradiction. And I wasn't big on
the whole view / imagery of Supergirl as God and Reign as the Devil.
Granted there was some nice festive scenes, what with this month being December -- Carl Lumbly being back and J'onn
insistent on teaching him about Christmas customs, Alex's comment about "Danvers Family Eggnog," and Alex's opener to
Ruby about "Did I tell you I work with Supergirl?" were the brightest bits. Guess this was the writers' way of
sharpening the knife before the first cut.
Also liked the bits with Mon-El and Imra / Saturn Girl; her comment about how Mon-El had organized and banded The Legion
together to keep the peace, and how Supergirl's actions in this timeperiod was the inspiration for that. Definitely
shows how much Mon-El's grown and matured since Season 2. Love the fact Imra's actress is allowed to keep her accent,
and isn't portrayed as another "Americanized" character. Also love how Melissa B sells the emotions of how happy she
is to see Mon-El again, and how she has to be happy for Mon-El and Imra, she can't bear the thoughts she's lost him
another way. I'm not big on Supergirl romances, but still Melissa B's performance sells this like water in a drought.
Morgan Edge adds to this in his usual way -- he portrays himself as "a lover of Christmas and Christmas festivities," but
his "allegedly" claims, plus attempts on Lena's life again... never mind his lead-lined saferoom and the way he was
standing over Supergirl's body at the end... hope he gets his in the end.
Action is topnotch as well, between the scene of Olsen pulling out his Guardian Shield, the Batman-esque takedown by
Reign of the gang deal on the docks... but the piece de resistance is the Reign / Supergirl fight! Seeing the two crash
an office Christmas party to "Deck The Halls" no less, plus the action jumping all over National City. I'm not sure how
concrete and rebar, a thrown car door, or dropping a weakened Supergirl from a rooftop could really hurt Supergirl -- I
guess can chalk it up to Supergirl not being 100% after the 4series crossover and fighting herself -- never mind just
HOW powerful Reign is compared to a solar-powered Kryptonian? -- but DEFINITELY a brutal fight throughout, and TOTALLY
riffs on Death of Superman comics. Also noticed in the video and from promo pics that Supergirl's costume's S Shield got
burnt off by Reign's heatvision, which DEFINITELY punches up the emotional heartstring bits of this.
Sucks I have to wait till Jan 15 2018 to see where this goes next...
Lines / Scenes I loved :
---
"There's something you should see... bird's eye view."
James Olsen : "I'm here just to make sure you remain... civil" and "Bah! Humbug!"
Lena : "Gee Olsen, are you scared? Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Lena : "this is my quarterly assassination attempt."
Reign shirtrip in Catco media
Stuff I'm not sure about :
---
Olsen / Luthor romance... while it's an interesting character development, not sure how sustainable it is long term.

S03E10
FINALLY made it to Jan 15th... so happy that Supergirl is back! Opens with Brainiac 5 / Querl Dox's first intro to
Supergirl in a coma / her mind, and trying to help why Kara doesn't want to wake up, no matter what's done, and no
matter what superphysical ways Kara tries -- punches, heat vision, etc. On one hand, I do like the interaction
and chemistry Brainiac 5 and Kara have this ep and am looking forward to more of him in the future, on the other
the costume will take alittle getting used to. Also a nice touch in Kara's mindspace was a namedrop of of her pet
cat Streaky! NICE!!
One bit not explained / clarified is the end scene from last episode with Ruby -- a game of nerf darts is shown
between Samantha and Ruby, but Reign is still just under the surface. I'm not sure I really understand the motivations
of Reign and her creators -- it's not just punishing evil but punishing apathy that allows evil to flourish -- but
will continue to watch and see where this goes. Not to say where Reign goes, action doesn't follow. The final action
scenes in the prison, plus the brief shot of her heatvisioning a prisoner, definitely puts a "do not fsck with me!"
stamp on her. Course the Legionaires themselves have a great entrance themselves, blasting Bon Jovi from their ship
as it surfaces near the prison. Seeing Imra's telekinesis powers in action with the prison gym equipment and from
Reign's freeze breath... I also still have my questions as to how Kryptonian Reign is, especially the final move
by Supergirl(!) that takes Reign out of action for now.
Time's also given to the Jimmy x Lena proto-romance shown last ep. Lena thinks she and Jimmy needs to talk to Kara,
especially as they're both her friends, and how Lena is a Luthor and Jimmy is a friend of the Supers. Like this awkward
Jimmy, as well as Lena opening herself up emotionally inspite of her last name. I continue to hold out hope Lena is
fully brought onto Team Supergirl -- the scene of Jimmy placing a rush call to Winn to cover for a "sick Kara," while
funny, I hope they don't keep happening forever. Also lead to a TOTALLY priceless scene of J'onn having to shapeshift
and cover Kara again... JUST PURE COMEDY GOLD!!
Scenes I loved this EP : GREAT Danvers sister moment with alex at kara's bedside, and at the end! LOVE THESE!
Lines I loved this EP :
Brainiac : "she is very angry!"
J'onn : "I don't like our odds against reign without Supergirl"
"Oh no, not again." / "the indignity!" / "agent schott, don't make me do that again!" / "I just had a conversation about James' kissing ability. This will be a sunday picnic."
Winn : "We have a literal legion of superheroes right here!"
Alex : "Never underestimate supergirl!"
"Catch!"
Kara : "You're the 12th level intellect, you figure it out!"
Mon-El : "It's great fighting with you again, i miss that."

Man, alot of love this episode as usual, alot of it due to the return of Livewire again. I LOVE this actress and character!
A-plot is Supergirl having to go to Fort Rozz to get information about Reign... of course, no men can come because the Fort
was thrown to a blue star that's a) not conducive to Supergirl's yellow sun powers and b) poisonous / hazardous to men.
And besides Imra, Supergirl also brings along Livewire and Psi -- talk about a canary among cats. Speaking of Livewire,
the fact Supergirl finding her at a lowrent diner and still having her 1liner zingers down pat, and Livewire laughing so
hard at Supergirl's "I won't have my powers, I need someone to watch my back." Of course, the fact of Reign after criminals
like Livewire without mercy is added incentive to join Team Supergirl, as it is with Psi.
I HAVE to give props to the quaternity pose of Imra, Supergirl, Psi and Livewire. BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL!!
Girls roadtrip to Fort Rozz gives plenty of time for Livewire, Psi and Imra to size each other up, and Livewire to drop more of
her 1liner zingers. There's also a scene given to Imra using her telekinesis, and a (seeming) Psi vs Imra that Psi writes off
as a "loss of control." Idunno, I trust Psi as far as I can kick her... Climax is Sara Douglas and her "wicked witch of the
west" act, and gets heatvision blasted in the chest -- least there's an explanation of Reign's powerset that she doesn't rely
on a yellow sun for her powers. The Reign v Livewire fight... WOW! and seemingly a Reign win till Psi gets her claws into her.
Sucks that we lost Livewire as a character this episode, she definitely ranks as one of the more memorable Supergirl rogues in
this series.
B-plot is Alex babysitting Ruby as Samantha is out on a business trip... but in reality gets taken over by Reign to stop
Team Supergirl. Some nice scenes there, with the namedrop of Maggie and having to return her passport to her, which opens
some old wounds for Alex. Ruby has her own "don't tell my mom" secrets she shares with Alex, namely a "friend" at school
shaming her on social media... and Alex going to do something about it via "FBI Agent Danvers." PRICELESS!!
Final scenes give hints as to what the future'll bring, with Samantha noting how she feels she's losing time / doesn't
remember her "Reign" time this episode, and another of the Worldkillers being located.
Scenes / Lines I loved :
Winn giving Brainiac a guided tour of the DEO... well, least it's not someone out to take advantage of Winn's nature
aka Mon-El and alien girlfriend. And Brainiac doing his "mind palace" bit.
Livewire : "Cosplay, i remember you." Doesn't remember Winn though. LOL
"So do it (kill me)!" stareoff betwen Livewire and Supergirl
Reference to the Voyager 1 and 2 probes as "messages in a bottle."
Supergirl : "Can we get her a better room, please..."
Scenes I'm not sure about :
Reign informed that needs to get to Fort Rozz as well... and her fortress just happens to have a handy dandy ship to take
her there.
