Despite its limited success rate, this sort of “soft reboot” is exactly what Supergirl is looking to manage in its second season.
The change that got the most focus for the episode, though, was the big send-off for Calista Flockhart’s Cat Grant.
Supergirl continues Monday October 24 with ‘Welcome to Earth’ at 8pm on The CW.
It’s a mostly cosmetic adjustment, though it does serve to deprive Supergirl of a recurring element that helped visually distinguish it from other series in the genre.
