When supergirl showed up i figured Kandor wasn't that far off. I guess I'am just a fan of the whole superman thing. Always have been. Only thing I was disappointed in was the Legion story. I figured they would do more with there power's. It was just a few big things here and there.

Yeah, what was that that Tess was talking to? Nice observation Mel with the costuming :)

I don't know, I've never liked Chloe. She's always been a bit annoying and that's cutesy look is painful. I've never really clicked with her character and, personally, she is the first person I'd vote off the show. She always seems so whingey and the one you should feel sorry for, but I just find her tiresome. I never understood why Davis was always fawning over her. Maybe it's a cultural thing, I'm Australian, does she appeal to Americans?

And boy those soap opera "inner moments" for Tess were coming thick and fast in this ep.....

@Larry Hamilton yes I meant to say Zor-El, sorry for the confusion, it was late:)

I think that Tess is going to die too...
Actually i am worried that we wont see Chloe in Season 9 too..but I dont like the idea that she dies - love the character, and the actress ;)
but we will c

I agree, I'm sorry Brad - but anyone can do "more random thoughts than anything coherent." Regardless of the criticism the show warrants - we are still fans.

There were key observations missed last night.. Clark in black, not red & blue while chole wasn't chole and in the injustice league scenes... and the Kryptonie ring?!!

Belle Reve has been on the show since the beginning. It's not Jor-El she's talking to. I'm I the only one who can't stand Brad reviewing this show. Each week it's something different. And the Oliver stuff has been building since the beginning. Once he found out Lionel had killed his parents. Pick someone who has followed the show since day one.

Tess is not working for Jor-El, but she seems to be in contact with the city of Kandor - refered to in the comics as the Bottled City of Kandor. In the Superman comic books, Kandor is the city/home of Kara (Supergirl) and the capital of Krypton. The city was shrunken and stolen by Brainiac (again, in the comic) and added to his collection. Superman found this city in his fights with Brainiac and rescued it. He was unable to restore it to its size, so it was kept as a little bottled world in the fortress of solitude. It contains Kara's mother and father, so my guess is that is who is talking to them.

Its weird that Tess is in contact with them and I don't know how they will explain it, but we shall see.

The biggest problem I had with this episode was the depiction of parasite. He has never taken powers for keeps. He absorbs power and can keep them for a time, but that is his weekness, he never takes them for keeps. Even when he does absorb energy from someone, if he doesn't kill the person, they recover their strength and ability.

Sorry it's this kind of thing that made superman pretty much invincible and less likable to me.

I think Chloe and Tess are going to die.

Also I think that was Kor-El that Tess was working with. He mentioned Kandor was is associated with Brainiac.
