Kara's return was very welcome. The first thing she does when she shows up again? Save a bunch of people. And in style too. I like the new outfit she's sporting. It gives a nice nod to the classic Supergirl costume, whilst not being 100% complete (she's missing the \S/ symbol on the front of her shirt, as well as the red cape...but the flowing red CGI'd fabric behind her was close enough). I loved the smile and wink that she gave Clark.
Good humorous moment with the 'Maiden of Might' newspaper headline/nod to what Supergirl's referred to as and Lois commenting on the alliteration. Clark forgetting to act totally weirded out about the "reveal" of his cousin's superhero status in front of Lois. His "Yeah, she didn't tell me about it." (like it was an afterthought) line and the look he shot Lois's way were pretty funny.
I was thankful for the Clark and Kara hug. One of the best things about Season 7 was the family relationship the two of them had. I always enjoyed their interaction, and it was good to see him greet her like the family member she is. Too bad he had to go and mess up the moment with his automatic distrust of her. Your cousin says she's doing something for you, Clark, but all you can do is be paranoid and crotchety? Way to show faith in your cousin. If she *really* cares about family, Clark? This coming from the guy who didn't even bother to do a thorough search for his cousin when she went missing at the end of Season 7. And, please, Clark...you avoid questions like no other. You've lied your arse off for many years. I guess he gets his immature attitude from his father (since it appears now that Jor-El is in a grand funk and not talking to Clark).
Nifty red, blue and yellow combo from Kara in her barn scene with Clark. And good on her for pointing out that Clark's been on Earth all this time and he can't even fly. I finally liked Clark again when he said to Kara "You're my only family and I need your help.".
I really enjoyed their scene on the windmill. FINALLY we got to see that scene which had originally been planned for sometime in Season 7, I believe, with Kara teaching Clark to fly and his actual *attempt* at doing it (rather than just whining and easily giving up like he did in Season 7 when she urged him to try). It was great seeing the look on his face as he started to fly, then it changing to his sudden realisation that he was losing momentum, right before he plummeted in through the poor abused barn.
Clark and Kara's awkwardness in the S&M club was pretty funny too.
Once again Kara comes through for Clark, saving his butt from possessed Godfrey. Don't blame Kara for being awesome, blame Clark for being lame.
I liked Lois and Kara's talk. I do feel sorry for Kara, since all she really has is Clark and he's not exactly the greatest cousin ever. Then again, Kara's not one to be tied down by relationships, she's more focused on saving people - which is what makes her such a great hero.
Lois trying to think up names for Kara's superhero persona was amusing.
Good to see Kara going the disguise route. I liked Clark's reaction to seeing her with the brown hair and glasses. She's definitely matured a lot (unlike Clark, who's been fighting his destiny for the better part of the series, but in this episode was acting all entitled and whiny at Kara because she was being proactive).
I wish the episode could have focused more on Clark & Kara, and that the two of them could have parted on better terms. Though it definitely feels like the show has left it open for her return. I only hope they don't just bring her back simply to kill her off (as it seems like that's exactly the type of thing this show would do).
I've always been a fan of the character of Kara/Supergirl, ever since I saw the Supergirl movie starring Helen Slater. I had hoped the character would be brought into Smallville and was very glad to see her introduced at the start of Season 7.
I've always liked the character of Kara on the show, and have enjoyed Laura Vandervoort's portrayal of her. I felt she was done a disservice in Season 7 and underutilized/not written as well as she could have been. I was very happy to have her back for an episode in Season 8, and am grateful for this episode that has set her up as Supergirl with a secret identity. I feel she's quite unappreciated, even though she's one of the more heroic people in the show. I'm all for the show bringing her back again later in the season...so long as they don't kill her off. She deserves better than that.
It was great to see Laura on the show again and this episode easily beat the first two episodes of Season 10.
