The death of Supergirl's Kryptonian aunt has left a void among the ranks of her enemies, especially since female villains are fewer compared to their male counterparts. It's a good thing that Laura Vandervoort is back to save the day. She injected some life into Smallville and is now back - and hopefully will become a regular - on Supergirl. Amazingly, after all these years, Vandervoort has been able to retain her amazing figure. Too bad she has to be dressed up in a Mystique (from the X-men movies) like costume. I guess they are simply basing the get-up on Braniac from the Legionnaires comics. I don't quite understand if she is Braniac, since she is called Indigo / Braniac 8 on the show. Does this mean that she is the eighth version of Braniac, just like Windows 8? =)
The show would be better off in my opinion if Indigo retained her human appearance - the hacker persona - and get rid of the stupid violet costume. Or, if they really want a costume for this super villain, make it as cool looking as the Kryptonian villains, or even Supergirl's sister.
Also, it was cool that the show gave us a peak at the Fortress of Solitude and a Legionnaire ring inside. Will the Legionnaires become Supergirl's sidekicks - just like Arrow has Team Arrow, and Flash has Team Flash? I guess we will just have to wait and see. But as far as DC superhero shows are concerned, Supergirl now ranks second to the Flash in terms of story telling. Can't wait for Cadmus and Powergirl to enter into the plot. And will Supergirl ever visit the City of Kandor - which is what her movie is known for...
