Quotes

add »
Kara: Look, I'm sorry, Mr. Luthor. The only secret I've got is that I make a lousy cappuccino. It's probably not the best thing to confess to your boss, huh?
Lex: Twice I've been pulled back from the brink of death, and both times it was by a member of the Kent family. I'm not man who believes in coincidences. Sooner or later, I'll find out the truth. Are you a savior? Or are you a warning? (edit)
Kara: Clark, you’re not human. No matter how much you want to be. I mean we can harvest corn and pump mochas all we want but it’s not gonna make us one of them.
Clark: I may have been born on another planet you care, but earth is my home. Everyone I love, everyone I care about is here. It’s where I belong. (edit)
Clark: You just have to fit in.
Kara: (seeing Jimmy) How do I fit in with him? (edit)
Clark: Lana, this is my cousin, Kara.
Kara: Hi.
Lana: Hi.
Kara: Say hello to the next Miss Sweet Corn.
Clark: Uh, listen, uh, when I talked about fitting in, I was thinking of something with more clothes. This is definitely not blending in.
Kara: You mean, undercover?
Clark: Yes, exactly. And this is... not covered. Um, look, can you just go change, please? Now.
Kara: Fine.
(Kara superspeed changes clothes)
Kara: You said "now."
Lana: I guess I don't have to ask which side of the family you come from. (edit)
Chloe: How much a blunt trauma do you think a stapler to the back of the head would cause? (edit)

Trivia

add »
The pageant director said to the sheriff that the frozen girl (Carly) and two other girls entered the pageant at the last minute. However, Kara entered the pageant even later then they did, why didn't she mention her? (edit)
When the blond girl (the first one) is frozen, it's an instant freezing so she couldn't possibly be with a scared look when Kara finds her. (edit)
When Tyler freezes Carly it takes only a second despite the fact she’s in a fairly open temperature-controlled room. When she freezes Jimmy inside a car, it takes forever (edit)
Kara’s make-up is perfect before and after the scene at the Talon where she has trouble putting on make-up. (edit)
It’s not clear how Kara is cleared of the charges at the end. She left her fingerprints on the window at the scene of Carly’s death. She still destroyed the statue. The two people who incriminated her aren’t likely to suddenly clear her name, and in fact will probably try to drag her down with them. So why is Kara released by the police at the end? (edit)

"Filler episode"
No... just no... Who's responsible for this getting the approval? Good idea... pitiful execution. The season's on a downhill slope.
