Storyline

- TriviaThe "Wookie gambit" Dreamer mentions is an allusion to the scene in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) when Luke and Han, disguised as stormtroopers, pretend to have captured Chewbacca in order to access the detention area in the Death Star where Princess Leia is being held prisoner.
- GoofsKara tells Red Daughter that she "has been dealing with Kryptonite for 15 years", but in the pilot episode, when Supergirl is captured by the DEO with Kryptonite needles, she appears to be learning of the existence of Kryptonite for the first time. The pilot takes place only about four years before "Red Dawn".
- Quotes
Brainiac-5: Why would anyone hurt her...
Head Guard: He's done. On to the other one, boys.
Brainiac-5: [rebooting like a computer] No. No! No! No, you can't! You can't! Little boxes. Boxes... eventually boxes get opened. There's a story about that, right? It's Greek?
[he's zapped with energy and grunts in pain]
Brainiac-5: [his voice changing back and forth] You're just primitives. And I have worked so hard to get back here. You people forget that time travel is also space travel, too. You see, Earth is moving at 67,000 miles per hour. And at different times, it's in different places, so you got to do the math or else you end up in space. And the math is not easy! My point is... my point is, my point is, I'm from the future.
Head Guard: I think you knocked the dots off his dice.
Brainiac-5: What I'm trying to tell you is that my *species* has ancestral memory. And my ancestors, very bad people. They were collectors, conquerors...
[crying]
Brainiac-5: I remember everything!
[sounds of power increasing]
Brainiac-5: Uh-oh. Don't want...
[laughing, he shuts down, then powers back up]
Brainiac-5: In short, you rebooted me. Aligned me with my more... emotionless ancestors. And that was a calamitous mistake.
- Crazy creditsA new title for this episode briefly appears to reflect the Red Daughter's role in this episode: the title is "Red Daughter" in Russian and features her Soviet-style symbol.
After it appears, it changes back to the original series title.
- ConnectionsFeatures Casablanca (1942)
Episode moves with action, story, and the drama. Supergirl fighting against the russian version of her was cool. Brainy makes questionable choices which Nia and Jonn are concerned. Lex plan is revealed.
