Though, speaking as someone who'd never in my life seen Bones, I thought it was the stronger half of the crossover and actually had better writing for Abbie and Ichabod...
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Supergirl: still fun. I like James and Winn.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm glad they addressed the fact Kara has no clue how to fight and can't just rely on her powers. (Though I think her Aunt should have had her even more outmatched in that fight than she did.)
I'm still scratching my head at Superman somehow missing the fact that a giant Kryptonian prison ship crashed to Earth, but not Kara's little pod.
Also, how have Astra and her band of Kryptonians been on Earth for 12 years and never heard of Kryptonite? Or are we supposed to believe the DEO is the only one who discovered it and not even Superman is aware of it?

That would rule out the WB series being in continuity. Although, Jimmy saying Superman also debuted to the world by saving a plane indicates that neither Man of Steel nor the Christopher Reeve movies are, either. I guess it was a reference to Byrne's Man of Steel comic miniseries?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Christopher Reeve saved Air Force One on his first night, so that works.

D'oh! I forgot about him waving to the pilot.

The chemistry in the episode was particularly bad, even by comic book standards. Like Bones bad. Took me right out of the episode.
"The tests we ran on his blood indicate his alien DNA isn't carbon-based like humans. It has a chlorine foundation."
If you want an option other than carbon, at least go with silicon. Chlorine can't form long chain molecules. There's an idea that used to show up in old SF stories that alien life could possibly breathe chlorine, but that's very different.
Also, DDT as the only possible source of chlorinated chemicals on earth? Please. Chlorinated solvents and pesticides are still used all over the place. He'd be better off knocking over dry cleaners for the tetrachloroethylene. TCE would probably be more nutritious for him as it contains much more chlorine by weight, and it's in liquid form so it could be like his version of a protein shake.

Or popping into the nearest grocery/drugstore/convenience store for a bottle of Clorox, perhaps.

I believe saving a plane was the first thing he did in Superman: TAS as well.
I'm hoping Henshaw's glowing red eyes at the end and mentioning earlier that he used to have a family means he's actually Martian Manhunter and not some random evil alien.
ETA: Though apparently there's an existing DC character he's named after, so I guess that's highly unlikely.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
