I once knew woman named M. LaFonte. I always wished her first initial was L.
Not that she was heavy or anything...

It's pronounced "Kah-ra" in the Helen Slater movie and "Kare-ah" on Justice League and Smallville.
That looks rather cool.
Yes, it does. Seems like much will be working through that episode.
I really liked the first episode. Did it have some issues? Sure, but what pilot episode doesn't? I think the show has a lot of potential. I like how Hank Henshaw is a real douchebag... I wonder if they are going to go the Cyborg Superman route with this version of Henshaw. I hope so.
I meant Lor-Van, I got their names mixed up.
Ah, I didn't think about the fact that Supergirl and Capt. Marvel's names were so similar. That could be, they seem to try to make names as different as possible with this kind of stuff.
EDIT:
The fact that Kara's mother plays such a big role in the backstory makes me wonder if there's any chance of them doing a Kandor storyline, with Alura as one of the survivor's like she was in some versions of the comics.

A nice picture of Kara's adoptive parents...
^Welcome to the family business, kid!
That picture suggests that the family business involves incest....
Yeah it would have been nice to see the story expanded out a little more. Although the only part that felt too rushed to me was the costume montage. It was entertainingly done, but that was all stuff (re-learning to fly, stopping her first criminals) that we needed to see a lot more of.
And of course she's barely got her final costume on before she's captured by the DEO and made a part of that whole operation.

Jax, Supergirl's origin has never been as involved or dramatic as Superman's in any format, so I would not expect to see a need for her pilot to be 2 hours. For example, in Superman the Movie, the Krypton / Smallville / Fortress of Solitude / introduction to Metropolis was nearly half of the film. I could not imagine Supergirl needing that much time to introduce her world, since the jump to her adult life and employment happens so quickly, that no other establishing plot was required.
They're from Argokansas City.
Cousinf###ing is perfectly legal and moral all over the world and inside America.
Half the planet can't be wrong?
In the 1950s, when she first showed up, Kal-El could have just been waiting for his 13 year old cousin to turn 18, which would have been waaaaaaaaay more fine back then than it is today.
It's like buying a Christmas tree in march and letting it grow until December when it's harvested.

It's better than the comic where a radiation wave kills all the men on the planet, other than Superman, and all the babies he puts in women (by artificial insemination) afterward rip their way out like Xenomorphs.
The truly awful bit is that he'd rather follow Kryptonian Law than Earth law.
Does he ever follow or abide by Earth law?
Are there odd kinks to Kryptonian law that if he chose to enforce on Earth, it would make the Earthlings angry?

It was actually the other way around. After trying to fix Superman up, it's Supergirl who consults the computer, and she finds Superman her exact duplicate elsewhere in the universe.
As I opened the can, I knew that would be the batch of worms that came out.
