      Brainiac-5: Sprock! The nano-plating's too thin. This lock needs to be strong enough to withstand anything Nxyly might attempt.

      Nia Nal: I mean, I can try dream energy.

      Mr. Mxyzptlk: [popping up] And I can assist!

      Brainiac-5: Uh, in what manner, exactly?

      Mr. Mxyzptlk: Uh, b... I-I-I could, um... I could, um... try to stabilize some of the particle. Do I have permission to Patrick Swayze-in-"Ghost" you?

      Nia Nal: [a little grossed out] No!

      Brainiac-5: No. Look, Mxy, if you really want to help, maybe sort wire. Or...

      Nia Nal: Organize the science lab.

      Brainiac-5: Organize the science lab. I don't know. Just stay out of our way, okay?

      Mr. Mxyzptlk: Sort, organize, yes.

      J'onn J'onnz: [calling on the intercom] Brainy, Dreamer, Supergirl is at the Fortress, where her scanner has just picked up a spike in Fifth-Dimensional energy downtown.

    "You're angry. And you have every right to be, I'm angry for you..."
    Glen Winter is finally back as a director!

    What really stands out in this episode is everybody's interaction with each others and what outcomes that may arise. Really liked everyone's personalities and specific viewpoints. And each one's perspective that determine their actions. Everyone's postures was well thought out and general attitudes was authentic and to say the least, understandable. But with all that, it's still plenty of warmth and sincerity that take place.

    The camera work was altogether wonderful and when put together with the editing, the outcome was excellent. Really loved all of the locations they shoot in, the atmosphere became discernible. Felt compassion throughout the episode. Liked the camera work within everybody's individual movements. Also especially where everybody stands and/or move is thoroughly. Thought the perspective from the camera was just as great. As well the editing was great. Not only when they cut, but also what they cut towards and how it went together as a whole. The shading in particular was noteworthy and depicts the characters motive wonderfully.

    The makeup remains being admirable and this episode, the costumes really work well within the location or specific background. I do love the discernible contrast for the color palettes in this episode. It do really feels like Katie scenes takes place apart. The colours of Peta goes so well together as a whole. The colour of her costume match greatly with her abilities, personality/attitude as well as overall ambience.

    Melissa, as always, bring out the best and her acting never cease to impress me. The way she deliver, not only dialogues, but impressions and all kinds of attributes is rather remarkable. The expressions is genuine, original and moreover it give out an singular attachment. Her motions alongside the camera and overall positions was all great. Liked her and Chyler closeness and how they frequently was near each others.

    Peta Sergeant keeps delivering and her acting is in every way rather astounding. How she deliver her dialogues with lots of emotions is totally stirring. Her attachment towards Melissa is essential and they really do succeed. Think that they both bring out a side that is altogether innovative or at least distinctive.

    Jesse's interactivity with each one was stimulating and to some extent, amusing. Think his chemistry with Nicole in particular, is really one of it's kind. Liked especially his positions or general angle from the camera, the side views in particular is rather enthralling.

    Thought that Nicole was definitely great and liked her intellect in this episode. Her feeling guilt was quite intriguing and especially her bond, particularly towards Melissa and Jesse, was compelling.

    Although it wasn't' much of Chyler and David, they still made an definite impact. Starting of with Chyler Leigh. Her impression is general influential and has a solicitude that is rather remarkable to say the least. And For Harewood, his facial expression, in this episode in particular, was really good. He makes a rationality for his character that his authentic.

    Great to see Thomas Lennon back again and he surely accomplished. Like his attitude, overall charm and enthusiasm. His hair was amusing. Thought that it worked well with his costume. Great voice acting that really affected his expression as a whole. Entertaining to see him being a significant part.

    For Katie McGrath scenes, I thought the colour palette was gorgeous. A great choice, that properly emitted rightful suited tone as well as mood. The location, along with set design, was alluring to say the least. A discrete pick and an occurrence that we haven't witness before. Such a contrast when Katie is in the car and externally. Feeling moderately calm when she's in the car but as it goes on it's starting to occur a tone of ominously and it just keeps growing. Thought as well that all of her interactions was done rather affected, but the aftermath was the part that hit me.

    To conclude... Although Katie was separated from the main cast, she never felt missed in any way. She emitted a discrete ambience that build her character greatly. Felt that this episode was spectacular. It had sentiments and a sensibility that blend well within the characters. Interactions, reveals and honestness is all major parts of the episode. Think that the cinematography was eye-catching, great soundtrack all over the episode and speldid acting. The location/set design and costumes was resplendent. A fine episode as a whole that absolute deserve a 10/10.
