^I was thinking the same thing about how they have time now to realize the mistake and could easily fix it before it airs.
^ Still not seeing the problem, but whatever.![]()
2015 - 24 = 1991. (Krypton exploded 24 years ago.)
1991 + 24 + 12 = 2027. (I spent 24 years in the Phantom zone, then 12 years on Earth growing up, and now it is the present 2015.)
Here's the good thing, they can fix it.
They have 6 months to alter 1 second of an audio track.
Will they do it?

I thought it was stated that the time in the Phantom Zone didn't pass the same way so it's more like 1991 + PHANTOM ZONE + 12 = 2015
Kara was in the Phantom Zone for 24 years.My name is Kara Zor-El. 24 years ago my planet, Krypton, was in serious peril. My cousin, Kal-El, was sent to a planet called Earth for his own safety and protection. You may know his story. The story you don't know is that I was sent to protect him.
Your pod's coordinates are interlocked with Kal-El's. You will follow him to Earth.
I'm not afraid, Father.
The trip is long but you'll sleep most of the way and we'll be with you in your dreams. You'll journey to Earth to look after your baby cousin, Kal-El.
Because of the Earth's yellow sun, you'll have great powers on this planet. You will do extraordinary things.
I won't fail Kal-El or you.
I love you, Kara.
You must go, now.
Go!
Things didn't exactly go according to my mother's plan.
Krypton's destruction sent a shock wave that knocked my pod off course and into the Phantom Zone.
A region in space where time doesn't pass.
I slept there for 24 years... until somehow I got here.
When I arrived, I was still a 13-year-old girl.
But in that same time my cousin Kal-El had grown up and revealed himself to your world... as Superman.
The most powerful man in the universe.
My cousin wanted me to have the same safe... human-type of childhood he did.
So he placed me with my adoptive family, the Danvers.
Scientists who once helped him understand his own super abilities.
I know I'm not your mom, sweetheart.
But you're safe here.
They had a daughter, Alex.
And despite being born on different planets, we both shared one thing: we knew our lives would never be the same again.
My cousin... he didn't need my protection.
I didn't have a mission anymore.
But even though I had all the same powers he did...
Sorry, sorry.
I decided the best thing I could do is fit in.
After all...
Earth didn't need another hero.
^ If I were to guess, I would say that, like FOX with Gotham, CBS paid an extra fee to get total unrestricted use of the Superman/Supergirl property, especially since, like FOX was with Gotham, they were the first network to 'bite' on the SG project.

I'm thinking that her ship towed the prison to Earth.
Maybe - I'm guessing the reason we don't see his face is that if they ever do use him they want to think carefully about who that would be...
2015 - 24 = 1991. (Krypton exploded 24 years ago.)
1991 + 24 + 12 = 2027. (I spent 24 years in the Phantom zone, then 12 years on Earth growing up, and now it is the present 2015.)
A random thought occurred to me -
Is there anything in the pilot to suggest that the Danvers are alive in the present day? There is nothing to say they are dead either but I wonder if that is undecided at this point.
We know that Helen Slater was offered the option of being a recurring guest star, so I think the chances are fairly good that we'll at least see Mrs. Danvers again.
The other thing we haven't discussed...
so who is that? seems to be part of the House of El? So a Sister to Jor-el and em.. thingy
She's Kara's maternal Aunt and is played by Laura Benanti, who also plays Kara's mother Alura.

CBS is the network that ordered and will air the show...Warner Bros is the studio that owns and produces it. Warners sets the conditions as to how restricted the show's handling of cousin Kal will be.![]()
FOX paid Warner Bros./DC an extra licensing fee for unrestricted access to anything and everything having to do with Batman, thus giving Gotham's showrunners the ability to use practically any character(s) they want, and I think the chances are very good that CBS has done the same thing with regards to the Superman/Supergirl property.
It kind of comes across that they have some sort of restriction about mentioning Superman by name. "Superman" is only said once during the info dump at the beginning. After that he's referred to as Kara's cousin or is talked about while awkwardly avoiding saying "Superman" by referring to him as "person who wears a cape", "my friend in blue", "him", and "he".CBS is the network that ordered and will air the show...Warner Bros is the studio that owns and produces it.
