- Quotes
Brainiac-5: We were only able to obtain a small sample of Supergirl's DNA. This will require all of it.
Alex Danvers: So we'd better make it count.
Kelly Olsen: Okay, the Q-wave interface is live.
Lena Luthor: [seeing their captive react] Our Phantom's got Supergirl's scent. Once we get to the Phantom Zone, his Q-waves will lead us directly to Supergirl's position.
Brainiac-5: Impressive. You guys did all this science stuff without me.
Dreamer: But what if we run into less... tame Phantoms out there?
Alex Danvers: The Tower's shields should cloak us, but it's still going to be dangerous.
J'onn J'onnz: That's because we can't count on the same methods we used to fight the Phantoms here. Based on what I've learned from Silas and Malefic, the Phantoms' powers work differently in their native dimension. There, they attack with fear visions, your deepest dread brought to life.
Brainiac-5: Like a Dementor.
Dreamer: Or a Boggart.
Brainiac-5: Or Harry's Dementor Boggart. You understand?
Alex Danvers: Yes. Uh, yeah.
Dreamer: So, uh, Kelly, you gonna teach us how to cast a Patronus to fight 'em?
Kelly Olsen: Well, all my fear management strategies may not be magic, they are the next best thing. In therapy, we use grounding techniques to help people regain control in traumatic situations. You start by naming things that you can see, touch, hear, smell, that you know are real.
Brainiac-5: Computer, electrons, filtered oxygen. Pizza residue.
Kelly Olsen: [Alex swats his hand away, annoyed] Okay, that's a good example. And if one of your fears should suddenly show up and they're not one of those things...
Lena Luthor: Then you'll be able to separate the visions from reality. Take back control from the Phantoms.
- ConnectionsReferences Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
In the Action Comics we managed to survive from 1938 and far, far forward without a Phantom Zone. Smallville gave it the best treatment. Sadly, the writers of Smallville did not entertain an offer for the DCU. The Flash managed a good story line on the coat tails of Arrow. I am always glad when actors get work, especially consistent work, allowing them a life. That is the only good part of this show. Why two stars? They showed up, on time and knowing their lines. That's worth something.
