Well, that was different. Better than Martians and bad CGI, I guess.

Interesting callback to "Smallville" (particularly with the current Allison Mack discussion), since the episode certainly evoked that series.

Where is that road they were driving at the beginning of the episode? That was real pretty country.

That was a terrifyingly awful face job on Erica Durance.

I actually enjoyed that more than most of the previous episodes this season. The girl playing young Kara was really good and very well cast, appearance-wise. Young Alex was good, too. The actual plot was kinda weak (you didn't need super-vision to see the crooked sheriff coming from a mile away), but it was really beside the point because there was some good character development going on. I wouldn't mind more 'Danvers Girls Mysteries' episodes like this one.

Man what did Durance do to her face? She is only 39. Wife and I were blown away.

Interesting episode. Didnt really care for it, but whatever. I did like the Chloe name drop tho.

I don't watch the Arrowverse shows anymore, but I'll post this here and someone can post it in the other threads now or when the time comes.

Arrowverse Crossover

The crossover kicks off with Supergirl and a special airing of Arrow on Monday, Nov. 27, starting at 8/7c, and concluded with The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow on Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 8 pm.

The only thing I remember about her is she went on Howard Stern about 10 years ago and talked about how she has naked parties with her friends, as you just show up naked. That was pretty much the whole interview as she said you come over, hang out, eat dinner, and everyone is naked.

The girls did a good job, but pretty much everybody else was awful. A fun one-off episode as long as it remains that way. Wouldn't watch that series week to week.

I'm in!

Until I read it here I didn't even realize it was her.

Good episode btw. As people know I really dislike the series now, and am only keeping up with it because of the crossovers (which is probably their intention). I like the young cast better than the regular one. That says something.

I really liked this one. It was a cute one off episode and a nice break. Plus it’s always good to see Eliza.

Izabela Vidovic was great as a young Kara. She really captured a lot of Benoist and her mannerisms.

Nice Smallville callback naming Chloe a few times. Chloe was created specifically for Smallville, so I thought it was interesting they would use her name even though it’s a different universe.

at Durance being Noel Neill. Cute name drops.

Her face did look a little weird.

That scene with the ladies driving off had some really gorgeous backgrounds.

Thought it was fun, and this was my favorite episode of the season, which I think says as much about the season as it does this episode.
