[7.7/10] When I saw the title for this one on the docket, I wondered what it could refer to. Making Kara the title “Little Girl Lost” was a nice surprise. Most of this episode does a nice job of balancing the space-bound elements at play, the character origin story for Supergirl, and the teen drama the show wants to work in at the same time. I have to say that I think it’s those space bound elements that are my favorite. There’s something very lonely about Superman tracing his flight’s trajectory, finding his home planet as broken and lifeless as he was told, and seeing with his own eyes the devastation that was his people’s destruction. That makes it emotionally resonant when he finds Kara. The reveal of Argos, and a scientist similarly situated to Jor-El having tried to save her family in much the same way, makes Kara a kindred spirit, and the reveal of Argos’s fate and her survival is a cool one. But I also just enjoy Kara as a character. The introduction of her flying among the clouds in the skies above Smallville is stunning, with some of the show’s best animation and a great way to establish her personality without saying a word. I like the framing of her as kind of a pesky kid sister to Clark, where he’s very glad to have another quasi-Kryptonian with him, but also remembers what a tough transition coming to Earth and learning of his powers and his homeworld’s destruction was for him, and wants to treat her with some kid gloves until she’s acclimated. That push and pull, between Clark wanting her to slow down and observe his precautions, and Kara raring to go and explore and help fight crime, works well. It mirrors a quickly establishing dynamic with Lois and Jimmy, where the latter is anxious to be a real reporter and go where the action is, while the former keep trying to get him to hold tight. That makes the pair teaming up (albeit in a kind of rushed fashion) make sense in terms of their shared goals. It also dovetails nicely with the villain. Making Granny Goodness a collector of young lost souls works thematically, and her restarting Intergang with hypnotized teenagers decked out in FOurth WOrld tech is a cool setup. She speaks with a certain flourish that I appreciate, and the promise of more Apokalips enforcers is an intriguing closing tease. The episode has its flaws. For one thing, Supergirl has a kind of embarrassing pin-up quality to her design that runs throughout this show, and some of the dynamics walk the line between economical and rushed. But it has a lot of cool moments in it too, from Superman's fight with the ice and fire intergang robbers, to Kara being shocked that Clark saw through her secret identity, to the reveal of Supergirl’s cool costume underneath her civilian clothes. Overall, this is a fun introduction to the new character, with some particularly neat visuals at play.
