Goofs

At the scene of the traffic collision, Supergirl's path is blocked by a fallen electricity cable that appears to be live as it is sparking and dancing around. She grabs the cable and snaps it which 'kills it'. Live wires do not spark and dance, and snapping the cable would have no effect; That's not how electricity works.

User Reviews

Supergirl is very hot.

This episode is even better than the previous episode supergirl is great and hot. And i can't wait for the next episode. And I hope that CBS continues to go through with this fantastic series. Finally a nice series which really appeals to me. I think it's a good thing that the creator chose sure that someone like supergirl whit superpowers is not 100% foolproof and make mistakes. What this series makes it a lot more human and clearly shows that you can learn from any mistakes and weaknesses. So I really hope that we will see a lot of more of kara aka supergirl. Because I would find it really a missed opportunity if cbs choose not to continue after this season with supergirl.
