Smallville's Supergirl - Caravan Of Garbage

The hosts of *The Weekly Planet* dive deep into the chaotic, self-referential madness of *Smallville*’s Season 7, where Supergirl’s arrival triggers a cascade of clones, fake identities, and absurd logic. They dissect the show’s refusal to let Clark Kent fly despite everyone else doing it, calling it a bizarre creative choice that defies narrative consistency. The episode is a love letter to the show’s over-the-top production — from warehouse-sized sets to CGI that alternates between jaw-dropping and laughably bad — while skewering its obsession with cloning, sexualized fan service, and the constant gaslighting of Lois Lane. The real punchline? A fake Supergirl introduced in Season 3, played by Adrienne Palicki, who gets a full fanpage description that’s more focused on her body than her character, exposing the show’s cringeworthy approach to female characters. The hosts revel in the contradictions: a show that claims to be grounded yet features crystal-powered Jor-El, a dam full of sentient clones, and a villain who walks around with a blue Kryptonian crystal in a glass case like it’s a museum piece. They end with a meta-joke about the episode’s own editing, hinting at future deep dives into the *Supergirl* TV series — and a cheeky promise that the new movie will be better than *Smallville*, even if they all know it won’t be.
