'Supergirl' Season 1 Episode 11 'Strange Visitor From Another Planet' Review

Non Spoiler Review- This episode may be the best episode of 'Supergirl' yet and I think the show's steady climb in quality is due primarily to the increased significance of Martian Manhunter.

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

1. Martian Manhunter's backstory- I am really enjoying how Martian Manhunter's being included in the series and I loved that this week went back and not only explained more of his backstory but showed it as well. I hope to see more about J'onnz's past and more team ups between J'onnz and Kara.
2. Bizarro girl- The episode ends with Bizzarro girl's revelation to everyone and I'm quite interested to see how this is further developed in the coming episodes, especially next week's that seems to center on that conflict.
3. White Martian- I loved how the White Martians were brought to the series and I thought the visual effects on them were incredible and looked very awesome!
4. Martian Manhunter & Supergirl vs White Martian- I really enjoyed the team up fight between the White Martian and Supergirl and Martian Manhunter. I especially liked when J'onn used kryptonite cuffs on Kara to prevent her from interfering with his attempts to seek justice. I thought that was a big crazy moment and liked how it strengthened both characters when kara talks him out of revenge.
5. Adam- Adam was finally introduced this week and I liked how he interacted with Cat Grant but felt the relationship between him and Kara seems a bit forced, especially since the actor and actress are married in real life. I hope to see his character given more depth and see him play in more interesting character dynamics.
