Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravana Garbage. We're over the next few weeks. We've gone Supergirl crazy, haven't we, Mason? It's Supergirl Mayhem over here. Mm-hmm. We love it. Can we be stopped? Yeah, easily.

We could be shot. That's probably true. People could come to our house and hit us with planks of woods. We don't have Kryptonian physiology that makes us bulletproof and mace proof and he gets in the face with a CGI mace and it all split us into a bunch of pieces. We don't have that's not us. That would hurt a lot, I think. Don't come to our house and do that.

Don't hit us with a mace or a morning. Star or whatever that was. Just because we've gone Supergirl crazy, I like to think we're not harming anybody. I think so too, yeah. Anyways, this week we're going to be looking at, well, returning to Smallville. Which I love to do. Honestly, I love to do this, especially out of order.

It's brilliant. Oh, yeah, because I think we've done the first, you know, few episodes and the last. But everything in the middle is just a, we don't know what's happening in there. Everyone's a clone. I did watch the first, you know, a couple of seasons of this when it came out originally, but like much of this is a mystery to me. me. And it's fascinating. Just in the episodes we watched this week, we got Martian Man Hunter,

even though he's not in Martian mode. He's just in Man mode, because Martian mode is expensive. They could call him Man Man Hunter. We got Bizarro Clark Kent. Oh my God. They really did every He's got crystal face. They really did every Superman thing in this show except Superman. As we've mentioned before, for whatever reason, when they first commissioned this show, they had a rule which was no tights, no flights. You never say Clark Kent, become Superman and wear the Superman suit. And for whatever reason they would just never show him fly, which you'd go, oh, maybe it's expensive to do that. But like, at this point, everyone's flying.

Everybody's flying. Everybody's getting in their costumes. Yeah. Everybody's taking on superhero names. It's not a sprint. It's a marathon. Yep. And he's, Clark Ken is way behind at this point.

Pretty much every single Superman hero and villain is introduced and then killed off or trapped in a dimension or whatever, except for Batman. Yes, that's right. For legal reasons. And sometimes they'll, and also, because. Again, this was an era where, you know, TV wasn't eight episodes of a show every two or three years. It was 100 episodes every day. I watched the 199th episode of this show for this week, I learned, and it's not even the last episode.

It just kept going and going. And they also did so many times, you might be want to talk about this in a minute, they would do fake outs. Oh yeah. It looked like they were going to introduce a character, and then they didn't because it was too early. So they, or they chickened out. but then they introduced the character properly later. You're talking about double Jimmy Olson? I'm doing about double Jimmy Olson, but also double Supergirl.

Exactly. Please leave a like. So let's start here. We're talking about Supergirl because there's Supergirl movie coming out. That's why we're doing this. We're doing a couple of Supergirl episodes. So just to get a background on this character, at this point in the comics, she just returned.

She was killed in the 80s in crisis. We talked about a bit when we talked about the Supergirl movie. That's right. She came back in the 90s in different variations. Different people got powers. There was a blob Matrix Goo woman. Because at one point the editorial edict in the comic books was there should only be one Kryptonian who exists. Because pre-1985, there was just a planet full of there.

There was a new Krypton. There was a horse. It's kind of difficult to make dramatic stories when you just have thousands of invincible immortal beings with incredible powers who can just solve everything in a second. So you just have one guy. So Supergirl came back, but she was a blob creature who took on a kind of super. pseudo supergirl identity. She dated the clone of Lex Luthor, who was Australian. Oh, speak, we're going to talk about people dating Lex Luthor in this.

And clones. And clones. So then also in 1998, the DC animated version was introduced. Uh-huh. Who's an adoptive cousin of Clark Kent. They're not actually related. But that's basically the rough storyline of Supergirl. And then, I think in like 2005-ish.

2004, she came back for real. Yeah, and it was back to the classic status quo. She's Superman's cousin from Krypton. Yep. And that was also less. like, because she used to be just like a fun-loving naive girl version of Superman, but that version is the version we kind of know now, which is, she's older than Superman or was older than Superman. She has memories of her home world. She's like emotionally distraught because she remembers

Krypton and etc. So a lot of the stuff we know now was established then. That's right. Then we hit Smallville. Which is even more convoluted. Season 7. Here we go. First of all, everybody like turning around dramatically with their beautiful hair in the title sequence. Even Michael Rosenbaum, no hair, turning around beautiful flowing hair. John Glover is Lionel Luther? Oh, yeah. Like he'd be like, oh, maybe the old guy doesn't get it. Nope, he gets.

It turns around. God, look at that beautiful lions mate. He's got going on there. He was the riddler and also in Batman and Robin, etc. Other things. He's the Floronic Man in Batman and Robin. Yes, he is. So as you mentioned, though, before they introduced Laura Vandervort as the actual supergirl,

in season three, there was a fake supergirl, played by Adrian Pellickey. who's made numerous appearances on this channel. Yeah, she was Wonder Woman briefly. She's an agents of shield. Briefly. Other stuff. The Orville. The Orville as well, yeah.

There's even a moment at the start of that episode where she does the truck flip. She punches a truck and a truck does a flip. You mentioned this to me off air. Smallville loved exploding a car. Oh, my God. Can't get enough of it. Yeah. And also, like, what's amazing about this show is, I mean, there's some really wonky

CGI, but there's also some amazing sets in it. Oh, yeah. Like, they actually, there's a sequence in, in one of these episodes where they're investigating Supergirl's Kryptonian spaceship and they just got a giant warehouse and they built a crane and all this. It's a big hangar. It's a big hangar. Like, they wouldn't do that now.

No. They'd be like, we're investigating Supergirl spaceship. And it'd be two people standing across from each other in an office building. You know? They would. Just a single medium shot. Yeah. Just that they're going back and forth.

Where's the spaceship? I don't know. We're investigating. We're investigating. We're investigating it. What are you deaf? We're investigating it. So the fake Supergirl, her origin was that she was a girl.

all who went missing during the initial meteor shower when Clark arrived. Where all the freaks were first created. Were origin. And she lived in a cave for years, and then she got kryptonite rock powers and memories of Kryptonian society. From Jorrell.

From Jorrell or whatever. Who's a crystal guy? He's a crystal guy. He is dead, but he's a crystal guy who lives in the fortress of solitude. Sometimes he's a clone guy. Sometimes he is a clone guy. Sometimes he's a clone guy.

Sometimes he's a Tarrant Stamp who plays Zod. Sometimes he isn't. Yeah. We've talked about another episode. There's probably more than, there'd be a bunch of them. Oh yeah Unrelated note

Tom Welling would have been a great Michael Knight In one of the Infinite Knight Rider Reboots that they did Yeah They missed out I guess he was busy doing this for 10 years He was doing this

But he's got the hair He's got the sincerity He looks cool He's cool he's tall He's cool and he's tall He's cool and he's tall I do feel by season 7 And I think it comes around again

By season 10 He kind of feels like He doesn't care at all Right Like he's just kind of like Where are you going Lois Oh you can't go there There's too many

Cryptonite To whatever You know, it's just like, I'm tired. I don't know. How many episodes are we doing today? Nine, all right. You want to put on a big red jacket and a blue shirt? Oh, yeah, okay, cool.

Something different. I've been practicing my take-offs. Can we maybe do? We can't? We can't. I'm not going to fly this week? All right. Okay, great.

So there is a behind the seeds feature end on this, and it's about Supergirl and the origin of. And a lot of it is like, the thing about Supergirl is she's sexy, but she's sexy and she's strong. And this is our teen girls actually dress and it's not because weird pedophiles run the fashion industry or whatever.

Can I read from James? I went to the Smallville Fandom. The Smallville wiki page. Why'd you do that? Smallville.fandom.com. I want to read you two descriptions here. So this is the fandom page for Lindsay Harrison, who is the fake Supergirl from the season three.

Physical appearance, her features were rounded and soft. Okay, that's a good intro though, but here's the one for Kara Kent, who is Laura Vandivort. Yep. Who is the actual Supergirl in this one. The real one. And under physical appearance, it says,

Kara is a fairly tall woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and has stayed the same age since she was stuck in suspended animation for 18 years and has an attractive, curvaceous appearance of a teenage girl. Yuck! Yuck! Handle your business, Smallville fandom page! Completely agree, somebody get in there! Make some changes!

It's not going to be me. I don't want that in my browser history. I mean, it's too late, obviously. But you're right, these guys are all pervets. I watched it for three episodes of Season 7, and in episode three, the writers will... We're clearly like, oh my God, we've introduced a new female character. We haven't put her in a bikini yet.

Which we should have a bikini competition. James, I don't know if you know this, but there's a very serious medical condition called screenwriter's balls. And what happens is if a TV writer introduces a female character and doesn't put them in like basically naked within a few episodes, they can get really sick. I didn't know that. It's very bad, actually. I think that's all right. Just get sick. Just get sick and die in the woods.

But the behind-the-scenes stuff, there's a moment where someone goes, you know, she dresses like a teenage girl. wood, which is good. It's not weird. It's good. But also, she's sexy, she doesn't know it. And that's interesting. And I'm like, I don't like any of that. I mean, she does, you know, eventually learns to blend it on earth. And so she has to get herself like a sleeveless hoodie and a studded metal wristband and so on and so forth. Anyways, previously on Smallville, as in before season seven, Larner is dead.

Not really. She faked her death using a clone of herself, which is incredible. First of all, she married Lex Luthor. Oh, yeah, she was married to Lex Luthor. And then Lex Luthor hit her. So she, which is bad, obviously, but then she gets revenge on him. I think for that and also all the other evil crimes he's done. Yeah. But she does that because he's been making clones.

It's never explained why, but he made a clone of her. He loves it. But it was not sentient. It was just a brain dead clone, which is weird. Yeah. It's weird, right? I think it is weird. I think you shouldn't do that.

I think you shouldn't do it either, but it's also very convenient that it's not a clone that's not alive. Yeah. So then what Lana did. You can put her clone, her brain dead clone, very convenient in her SUV. And then blow it up and then frame Lex Luthor for the crime. But also, Lex Luthor's been making a bunch of clones and weird stuff in a dam. And then the dam bursts. And then Bizarro Clark Kent escapes.

He's got crystal face and features. He's got crystal face. But then... You can fly also. Yeah, also Lex Luthor gets arrested for his crime. And then he's in a back of a police car in the dam burst and he's going to drown. But then luckily, in addition to all the clones that were in the dam, also Supergirls spaceship was buried under.

under the dam for 18 years. And so she rescues him. And he's like, whoa, it's an angel. And he's like, well, I'm going to do that thing again, which I do in Smallville, where I get rescued by a superpowered being, and then it becomes my whole obsession. He draws a picture of a woman, and he goes to an investigator, and he's like, find this woman. What do you talk? What are you doing?

Thank you. I'll share this cover of a folk rock album from the 1970s with everyone I know, and they'll definitely turn this up. Also, something that annoys me in media, and it happened when we talked about Fant Forstick. You know, in the moment where Sue Storm refers to Victor von Doom as like, you're a real Doctor Doom over here. Which doesn't make any sense because there's no context for that. You'd call somebody a Doctor Doom in real life because we know the character Doctor Doom.

There is no Doctor Doom yet in this. But anyway, Chloe in the show at one point is like, hey, he's a real Bizarro Clark Kent. Bizarro only exists as a concept because everybody knows. Is Bizarro not a word outside of... Bizarro is a world, but Bizarro... You don't even tell me that. Bizarro only exists because we know Bizarro Superman, which doesn't exist. Is she Australian putting an owl on the end of something?

Maybe. Get-a-Bizarro. What's up, mate? How's it going, mate? Also, she calls Kara Kent Supergirl. She's like, she's a real supergirl. Nah, man. No, man. She's the maiden of might, which is what she calls herself or someone else does. Also, Lex eventually sees Lana again and he goes, I'm sorry. Good work. I'm brushing your hair, by the way. Oh, that's right. She faked her own death so she could go undercover in China, wearing a terrible blonde wig.

Very good. Very convincing. Yeah. Also, Lex is like, my father's gone and presumably dead. No. Anyway, there's a whole lot of other things seemingly going on, and I think that's probably very good and interesting. Absolutely.

Anyway, Clark and Lois find Supergirl's ship. It's just in the forest. Yeah, and Lois gets knocked out immediately when she comes to Clark's like, listen, you didn't get punched out by Supergirl, you slipped in some mud. That's right. There's nothing going on here. Don't even worry about it. You're Gillian Anderson from the X-Files.

Gillian Anderson? Gillian Anderson. You're Gillian Anderson from the X-Files. Don't even look at anything. I am also covered in mud because I helped you up. Yep, that's right. Yeah. We had a slippery time.

And then Clark goes back to the scene and there's a bunch of dead cops. And they're like, you can't be here. They're not like, hmm, I wonder why this muddy boy is in the woods around all the dead cops. Nah, get out of here. Don't worry about it. Anyway, so we find out the story of Supergirl, and that's the... She's looking for Clark as a baby because similar to the comics, she was in some, in the comics she's stuck in like a time vortex space.

Or a wormhole or relativistic effects of time. Or it's orbiting the sun or something. Anyway, here she was just underwater. And her father's Zorrel and they're estranged, which we can talk about. And she also doesn't know that Krypton is explosioned. And she doesn't believe Clark when he's like, that's gone, man. Don't even know about it. I'm over it.

You get over it. Don't remember about it. I'm over it. You get over it. It's fine. Look at all these sleeveless hoodies you could wear. Yeah, that's right. But what they really need to worry about in this episode is that a ship is going to have a nuclear explosion if you open it.

Which is a great fail safe to put into anything, really? Well, that's what my car alarm does. Really? Nuclear explosion. I thought it was a regular explosion. Did you get an upgrade? Yeah, that's right. I thought you're just doing T&T stuff.

Nah, no, no, no, no. Really? Yeah, everybody's doing TNT stuff. What I love about this also is that Grant Gabriel runs the daily planet and he's a very young man who looks very silly in his big shirt. He does. He's wearing his big shirt and his suspenders and his big jacket. He's like, I break stories.

I'm doing business. I break stories and I break pimples on my face. I'm 12. I don't know if you know this. Also, one of the Ashmore's is here. One of the Ashmore is here. We didn't mention this. Aaron Ashmore is here as Jimmy Olson.

Yep. But not the original. No, because he dies. Wait, or is this guy the original? No, this is the original and then this one dies. This one's going to die, and then another guy is going to show up and be like, by the way, I'm actually the real Jimmy. No, I'm not, I'm his brother. Yeah.

But I'm going to honour him by becoming Jimmy Olson. It's beautiful. Or it has already happened. Yeah, it's hard to say. I kind of feel like this might be the second guy. I don't know. Why didn't they just make him a clone, just like Grant Gabriel, who was a clone of Julian Luther, brother of Lex Luther, who Lex Luther eventually has assassinated. Oh, twist.

I didn't know that. Yeah, that's something that happens in this show, Mason. Terrific. Yeah. Important also. Where's Perry White? Where is he? He's later.

He's down the line. I guess he's later. So anyway, the relationship with Clark is that she's going to teach him some stuff. She's like, why can't you fly? Great question. Right question. It has been 70 years at this point. I just can't.

It's a mental block for me for some reason. If I was Superman, right? Or boy Superman, who's a man. Focus every day on trying to fly. That's all I would do. I wouldn't do anything else. Yeah. I would miss all.

I wouldn't go to any team parties. Yeah. Running around on the ground like a grub. Like a horse. Like a stupid horse. Fly like a majestic bird. Yeah, man. You idiot?

Even the super horse could fly, idiot. Why can't he fly? What does it matter? Does it mean if you make him fly, then he is Superman? Is that the final? I wonder if there are any interviews with the showrunners at this point where people are just like, why isn't he flying yet? This is a season four thing.

Everybody else is flying. Yeah. This is crazy. This is crazy. Anyway, so Lois finds the ship Because again, she's Scully from the X-Files But of course she's knocked out because she's Scully from the X-Files And she's rescued

And she gets a job at the Daily Planet Opposite her cousin who sucks now Because they have to replace her They have to replace her And originally, we can't put Lois Lane in Smallville But we'll have a Lois Lane type character called Chloe Sullivan But now it's time to replace Chloe Sullivan with Lois Lane

Also Alison Mack went to prison And you might be like Didn't Allison Mac go to prison? Yes, we've talked about it We have extensive Kristen Kurek who plays Lana Lang. She didn't go to prison. No, but she was also in that cult.

Well, that's interesting. Yeah. But I think she was just in it for the multi-level marketing. She wasn't in it for the sex stuff. Well, that's why I'm in my cult, for the multi-level marketing, and the sex stuff. I'm in my cult mostly for access to the nuclear materials for the car alarm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so she tells him a bit about his family and whatever, and their dad's or enemies or something.

Yeah, or they... But there's a blue kryptonian crystal. There is a crystal. And that's a different crystal. That's important. Because that was in the ship. Because what happened is the self-destruct was going to happen. It didn't, though.

Well, it didn't because Kara jumped on top of the spaceship. Shipsorbed it and disappeared or whatever. The nuclear beam went into her and then the ship just melted. Yeah. Like it was an ice cream on a hot day. It was a hot ice cream day. But fortunately, the bad guy, Kim Coates from Sons of Anarchy, he got the blue crystal out. And now he's just walking around with it, just in a glass case.

Yeah, he's like, look at this. Just go and doing his grocery shop and walking around with a blue crystal out. a glass case. What kind of clones does this shoot out? Heaps, probably. I don't know. It will know in a few years when it becomes relevant and we watch the subsequent episodes of Smallville.

So, Ned Clark goes and speaks to his crystal dad. What I love about when he speaks to his crystal dad in this show is he talks to him like he's on speakerphone. Like he doesn't know where the microphones are in the cave. Yeah, yeah. So he's just kind of shouting and like, just looking about. And this is a simulation of his dad, right? Yes, this is the Jorral crystal computer thing.

Computer one that they had in the movie. And he's like, don't trust Zorrell. Zorrell, his brother, who's car is dad, because he ignited Krypton's core and was also in love with his wife. Oh, okay, so it's personal. That's right. It's got nothing to do with the explosion of Krypton.

This is a, this is deeply personal. Oh, it's personal, Mason. And also later down the line in future episodes, Zorrel is resurrected as a clone. Nice. And he's defeated by Zorrel's clone, and then Clark shatters the blue crystal that resurrected him and Lara as crimes.

Oh, it was a cloning. It was a cloning crystal. I told you was a cloning crystal. No, you said maybe it was. Anyway, let's give a... God, they really did a lot of cloning in this, didn't they? You got a clone, Mason. I guess you got a clone.

This was the era of Dark Angel. That's true. This is post-Dark Angel. I guess they were cloning Superman, and they'd done a bunch of cloning of Superman in the comics, I guess. And Lex Luthor was a clone in the comics, I guess. Exactly. Yeah, it was in the zeitgeist, wasn't it? Superboy was a clone.

Multiplicity probably had come out. Multiplicity, yes. That's right. It's in the 90s. Yes Yes. Anyway. Yes, that episode of Seinfeld.

Jerry! Jerry! You're a clone. You're also a clone, Jerry! Jerry! You know? Yeah, I know. Season 10, episode three. Oh, yeah.

Supergirl return. Did we cover everything? We don't have time. We got nothing about time. Everybody's always... These have to be edited. My band of Lawrence. I know they do.

But they're tough. They're not doing it for free. Yeah, but there is a... There is a time period these have to be done. I know, but sometimes, look, this is also the period where everybody's just gaslighting lowest. Yes. Everybody knows that Clark Kent is the Metropolis blur or whatever, is the Smallville blur or whatever. Are we talking season 10 now?

No, this is, well, both. But in seven especially, they're just like... She knows by season 10. She's already figured it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in seven, they're just like, no, you fell and you hit your head. Oh, no, you didn't know what you saw. Oh, you were probably, probably the radiation.

Probably stop gaslighting her. Just tell her. She's going to be admitted to a mention. to hospital because you keep lying to her all the time every week about the stuff she's obviously seeing. Anyway, season 10 you were saying. Season 10, so Supergirl comes back after. She features really heavily in season 7, pops up every now and there, but season 10,

she does return for a couple episodes. She's now the maiden of might and she's got a brand new Supergirl costume, which is the supergirl costume, except it doesn't have the S on it. That's right. Because I guess you can't do that. It's just clothes. She's also in Smallville Season 11, which is a comic book where she's, gets the proper costume and that.

Also, we've talked about this before because we've looked at the season finale, but Darkside is here and also he's crows, which is a small wheel specific thing that he can do. Chloe is also dead. Just kidding, she faked her death. She will be back. That's right. Because Lois Lane...

I don't think it's clones. No, Lois Lane dated Green Arrow, who's the Batman analog in this series because I couldn't use Batman. But now he becomes the Iron Man. Yeah, yeah. And then they're... Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. Because Iron Man did come out and they're like, well, let's throw... Let's throw secret identities into the wind. And then he dates Chloe, but then she's gone. Also interesting, the season 10 intro, there's like four main characters. Yeah. They've just, everybody's gone. Rosenbaum's out.

Yeah. He does come back, but for the final, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, Supergirl tells Clark that Jorrell gave her the job to be Supergirl because he's clearly not doing it. Yeah, don't check, by the way. Yeah. Don't worry about it.

Yeah. You don't even know where to stand and talk in that cave. That's right. What are you supposed to look at? I know exactly where to stand and talk, though. So. Anyway, she's like, I'm going to teach you out a flight. It's nice to see that things have never changed or progressed at all.

He's still exactly the same as he was three seasons prior. And she teaches him to fly sort of on top of a windmill in front of a great screen. That's right. And that's great stuff. Again, Lois is pretending that she doesn't know Clark is the blur. Oh, and none of the female characters have done any weird sex stuff or nudity stuff. Yeah, aren't we due for something like that? I think we are.

Let's put Lois in some sort of bondage club. Let's put her in leather pants and a bus. Must he ain't a mask and then she can swan about and pretend to be a BDSM madam or whatever. Gordon Godfrey. Yes. He's the guy he's trying to take down superheroes. He doesn't like them. But luckily for Darkside, he's infected him with Darkside crows.

Yes. Not clones, maybe. I don't know. And they go to a sexy sex club. Also, I think they've been like, we need a bald bad guy because Rosenbaum's out. So let's give him some Luther vibes. Yeah, he's got a bit of that. And so Lois gets him into the club for a couple of.

of reasons. A, she wants to get the final chapter of his book, which outs Green Arrow. She's like, well, if I steal the final chapter, which is on a USB, he won't be able to do that. He won't be able to write that again, really. What are you talking about? You're going to have to kill him. Just write it again, man. Just write it for your memories like you did the first time. And also, she wants to get sexy club photos with a very loud camera phone so she can blackmail him to whatever. Which again is very quaint. Like the idea that you would, you would just be like, that's not me. Yeah.

That's not me. And actually you're, it's actually you're in the wrong for taking those photos without my consent. So you're actually the bad guy here. That's right. And a million people will be like, she is.

Cancel her. Cancel Lois Lane. Put it back in that mental hospital. It is funny that when she takes her mask off and he's like, whoa, it's like that's not even a mask. It's like nine lines.

Yeah. Yeah. Incredible discovery. But anyway, Car helps Clark defeat Crow Darkside. But it's only temporary. She does a famous leaping in front of the beam move. Yeah, pachow, which is a good thing.

And Lois is rescued from whatever. You didn't see anything, Lois. You didn't see any crows. For anything, you saw seagulls, you idiot. You stupid idiot. And Kara now has a very clever disguise. It's an obvious wig and glasses, which I guess Clark just copies, like laid it down the line.

He's never had an original thought in his life. No, this version has not. Some would say he was the original superhero, but I would say just a copy of a copy of a copy. last guy out of the gate. What a loser. Oh, man. Anyway, yeah, the USB is recovered

and luckily Green Arrow, his identity is safe. Bernie's like, thanks for all your hard work, I wish you nearly got killed or whatever. And yet do that weird sex thing in the sex club. You really demean yourself in the weird sex club, but actually I'm just going to give up my identity anyway, whatever. You'd think you'd give the guy the Smallville memory melting disease with a crystal or whatever.

Like, take your USB, it's not going to do anything for you, is it? No. Like, surely he's got the physical photos somewhere else also. You'd think that too. Yeah. On his camera phone. On his camera phone. Clickety clack.

This is incredible. I agree. What a great show. Yeah, kind of. Anyways, it's time for small trivia. Oh, yes. The trivia section of the show, Smallville, which we always seem to be talking about. We love talking about it.

I was really reluctant to be like, hey, do you want to do Smallville again? Because I thought you'd be like, absolutely not. I can't get enough. Can't get enough. Here's a fun. This isn't a piece of trivia, but I loved when there's a scene where we go to the Kansas State Penitentiary. Great font on that sign. Oh, okay.

It's a good fun time. Yeah, very art deco. Laura Vandervort, she actually shares a birthday with Kara Zorrell 22nd of September. That was established in 1976, so it's not something they took from this show. It's just a coincidence. Very convenient. She also returned to the Superman Mythos as Indigo slash Brainiac 8 in the Supergirl TV show from 2015. Oh, interesting.

And I don't know if you saw any of these. I watched all of them. There's a kind of flash animated series of shorts called Smallville Legends, Colin, Kara and the Chronicles of Crypton. I'll stop you there. I didn't say these. How would I even find these? I have them. I could have sent them to you, but I wanted to keep them for me. I don't want them. So it explores her time on her home planet before her father sent her to Earth, and it features Kara, Zorrell, Lara Al, Kallel, Argo, Brainiac, the Science Council, and the Disciples of Zod.

That sounds terrific. Originally, the episodes remained available on Sprint Phrynt Phones before being played. placed on the CW website. I knew they were going to... I knew it was one of the... I knew it was a mobsode situation before you even said anything. I knew that would be mobisodes.

And they ended up being played during the later... The season seven episodes of Smallville and they just played in between episodes or whatever. You know? So that's Smallville. Again, we've done it again somehow.

Do you want to hint towards next week? Yes. Let's do some Supergirl the TV show. Okay, then. Figure out some good or bad episodes from that. And see what's what. I think that show generally is delightful.

I think it's got Martian Manhunter in it too. It does. Yeah. Does it? Yes. Oh yeah. He's around, isn't he? He's always around. Yeah. He's flipping and zipping and changing and morphin.
