This episode begins at a club with a girl dancing very sexily on stage on a cage I assumed it was a strip club, but it's much classier because she's a singer. Sorry girl. I had to Google her and it was a very confusing search because I was trying to avoid spoilers. The song is by Kimberly Cole but she is not acting in the episode, which is what I initially thought, because I'm stupid and identifying characters as a Snow is the hardest fucking thing. (L: Girl, I'm always an email away.)
Anyway, the character is Rayna Russell and she is singing a song called Superstar in a diamond bra with on-stage fireworks and other snazzy pop star trappings. I was just about to say something about how dangerous those fireworks seem when ONE OF HER DANCERS CAUGHT ON FIRE. Shit. Rayna is rushed off stage.
First thing's first: Sweeney and I knew we wanted to do this quite a while ago. All the usual things stopped us from getting to it right, right away: time, naps, time, trying to pay our bills with real people money, adulthood and time. When we met up in Paris in August, we discussed this project (amongst many others) and quickly decided that the best way to make it a reality was to invite another person to blog with us.
We've announced this before, but please officially welcome our newest Snark Lady, Stephanie!
Stephanie: Hello, friends!
Lor: Stephanie and I have seen the show before (though I think I quit before the end, as I do, and have definitely never rewatched). Sweeney is our resident Snow.

Marines: An angry man charges through a palace, yelling for people to get out of his way. He bangs on a closed door and yells for the Doctor. We pan and see the Doctor's clothes, paints, and then a painting of the Doctor in nothing but a strategically placed shroud and a trident. I'll give you a moment to groan because honestly.
Kirsti: Personally, I'm gagging, but to each their own.
We watched Westworld for the podcast and it just was screaming to also be recapped. — The Original Marines: Listen, I don’t plan how to mismanage my time and take on...
We start straight away with the credits, which I love. Maybe I'm just determined to love this. YAY CREDITS.
Stephanie: I loved them too. The colors! The music! I may have gone back to watch them again... twice.
Mari: To emphasize the dark!Veronica Mars (S: My first thought too.) vibe I'm getting right off the bat, the episode starts with Jessica Jones's voiceover: New York may be the city that never sleeps, but it sure does sleep around. We see a man and a woman sneaking down Adultery Alley.

A siren wails in the distance as a man walks in slow motion through a crowded street. Time catches up and the man pushes his way through the crowd. He pauses for a moment in shock when he sees his son on the floor. He kneels at Matty's side and tells him not to move. He yells for help and then takes a moment to gauge the chaos around him. Whatever accident happened, it involved a car, barrels of something shady and multiple pedestrians.
Hello friends! It's Thanksgiving here on Supergirl, and the episode opens with Kara using her laser vision to cook a turkey. Weird, but also what I'd probably do too. Jimmy and Winn have an annoying conversation about who should be the one to tell Kara that Jimmy is Guardian. To be clear, they are having this argument in Kara's living room. To be even clearer, they are having this argument in the living room of the girl who has super hearing. But whatever.
The previouslies remind us that Tom was shot, MacLeish was President for a bit and made some sketchy decisions, and oh yeah, ATWOOD'S SON IS I GUESS STILL KIDNAPPED? Can I tangent about this for a bit? Why has no one reported this child missing? Why has no one else noticed that this child is missing and put two and two together? What the hell?

New guardian means new credits! This time we're told that this guardian is wracked with fear and panic and they end up on a boat that might as well be the Titanic. (S: Meanwhile I overthink where a Titanic reference puts us in time.) So, you know, look away, look away!
We start at an old-timey looking news station for Lachrymose News, "where things keep happening until they stop happening." I know this "it keeps happening" feeling because it encapsulates all of my feelings about the current administration.

Our dear recapper just can’t even with this show anymore, so this week’s “previously on” song has him switching it up and giving us a recap of Gunsmoke.
I hear ya, recapper guy. Extremist alien-baby was tough to stomach.
Marines: Do we say that each new recap song is our favorite, because no really. THIS ONE is my favorite. 1- because of the way he starts off trying to recap in uncertain terms, 2- because I AM THAT STRESSED OUT TOO, 3- lol Gunsmoke, and 4- the doctor taking a pulse and shaking his head. Amazing.

I should've known this episode was called "Pilot." I feel like I tell you every time it comes up but it annoys me when pilots are titled Pilot.
But I'm starting off on a wrong foot. Hi, hello! Welcome to a new show because we are the little engine that could keep starting new shows when we have a billionty pending to finish. Hey, look y'all. We work with the recappers we got. And for this recap, we got Samantha (late of Supernatural but currently on Supergirl and Pretty Little Liars) and Dani (responsible for bringing us all the joy that is BrainDead).
