That's what I was thinking.
Finale was a little overwrought for my tastes, but not terrible. The fact that they didn't know if they were going to have a second season or not probably contributed to that.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Streaky wasn't from Krypton. It was from Earth. Got its powers the old fashioned way — by being exposed to some weird version of Kryptonite.

I don't think I've ever been out-nerded that hard before. I'm so ashamed.

Sorry about that. I read way too many Legion of Super Pets stories when I was a kid. I have tried to forget...

Comet, then? (I have no clue about the origins of the Silver Age superpets.)

Comet was also from Earth, some ancient Greek put under a spell to be an immortal horse. Comet was also in love with Supergirl, so romantic triangle possibilities would abound.
The only pets from Krypton were Krypto and Beppo, the super monkey, who wore pants.
The pre-Marvel DC Universe was a very odd place.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Comet the horse in love with Supergirl was both poignant and freaky, in both senses of the word.

So was Comet sapient before the curse, or did he gradually become self-aware over millennia of life experience? I feel that in a setting with Mister Tawky Tawny, nothing should be assumed.

Comet was a human man before he was cursed to become a horse, right? So he would've been sapient the whole time. Unless becoming a horse reduced him to only Horse-consciousness and he slowly regained Human-consciousness in his horse body somehow. Sapient the whole time makes more sense, it's not much of a curse if you're not aware enough to realize you've been cursed and you weren't a horse always. Seriously, in all the DC universe in all this time there's no one who can break this curse? Has anyone even tried? Doesn't Supergirl know some magicians and gods?
I get way too involved with the fates of fictional characters.
