NOC Recaps Supergirl: Is There Life on Mars?

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.

I'm getting crazy Lois & Clark feelings. I haven't listened to Dean Cain talk about different planets in a looong time. #SupGirl #Supergirl

I'm very invested in Lex's and Hank/J'onn's relationship. They're so sweet. She's that father figure she lost. #SupGirl #Supergirl

Best #Supergirl egg tonight is J'onn's love of Chocos (the DCU's Oreos). #SupGirl #MartianManhunter @DavidHarewood https://t.co/TTHHqucFP0

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

More than anything, tonight's #Supergirl proved #MartianManhunter needs his own show. #SupGirl @DavidHarewood thenerdsofcolor.org/2015/09/14/mar…
