NOC Recaps Supergirl: Is There Life on Mars?

March 28, 2016 Keith Chow

Last week’s Supergirl was the Martian Manhunter origin story we’ve been waiting for all season, and it didn’t disappoint. From a guest appearance by former Superman Dean Cain — no longer the world’s only Asian Superman — to David Harewood giving an excellent performance as Evil Hank (in a silly wig), the episode had everything we could hope for. Unfortunately, with all eyes on tonight’s crossover with The Flash, I don’t have time to do a proper recap, so I’ll leave you with Christelle’s live tweets from the night.

So taking care of Alex and Kara was Jeremiah's literal dying wish. A blood debt. #SupGirl #Supergirl #MartianManhunter

Project Cadmus: Very different from Project Katniss where they stick prisoners in a Hunger Games arena. #SupGirl #Supergirl
