Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One - S5-E9
Trivia: One question Marv Wolfman continues to get asked at fan conventions is why he killed Kara off in the "Crisis" comics. With so many characters established as having survived Krypton's destruction - including Clark, Kara, Krypto the Superdog, criminals banished to the Phantom Zone, and the bottled Kandor - his goal was to make Superman unique as the planet's sole survivor; killing Kara gave him the creative freedom to return Clark to his origin as the Last Son of Krypton.

Lena Luthor: I'm not a villain. I don't wanna kill Supergirl; I just want her to experience the same hurt she inflicted on me. And soon enough, she will.

Stupidity: Kara's glasses are a logistically impractical place for Brainy to put the motion sensor that materializes and de-materializes her new super suit, since she only wears them as part of her civilian disguise. As a 12th-level intellect, surely Brainy could invent a more pragmatic means of allowing her to change from superhero to civilian.

Character mistake: President Marsdin says that Camp David was named by President Eisenhower in honor of his son and grandson. It was actually named for his father and his grandson; his sons were named John and Doud.

Character mistake: When Kara breaks her arm, she says that she doesn't need to go to a hospital because the bone will heal when her powers return. She would still need a splint or a cast to ensure that the bone sets in place properly; leaving it untreated runs the risk of a physical deformity or other unforeseen complications down the road.

In Search of Lost Time - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When Samantha sees the surveillance video of her transformation into Reign, which was triggered by Lena provoking her, their dialogue is slightly, but very distinctly, different than it was a few minutes earlier. (00:20:15 - 00:25:25)

For the Girl Who Has Everything - S1-E13
Other mistake: In Kara's hallucinations of Krypton, the planet is shown with a yellow sun. Rao, the supergiant around which Krypton orbited, was red.

Other mistake: During the boardroom meeting with Lena, James, and Morgan Edge, Katie McGrath's natural Irish accent briefly, but noticeably, slips out.

The Faithful - S3-E4
Trivia: James and Winn find a meeting of Coville and his followers to be "a little cult-y." Melissa Benoist plays Rachel Koresh, the wife of cult leader David Koresh, in the miniseries Waco, a dramatization of the Waco siege - the 1993 standoff between the ATF and FBI and Koresh's Branch Davidians that lasted 51 days and resulted in 86 deaths.

Plot hole: After Kara and Alex are run off the road, Kara is convinced by "Noel Neill", revealed later to be J'onn, to stop using her powers. From context, J'onn had to have been summoned by Eliza, but in 2007, she would still think he's just Hank Henshaw; she doesn't learn he's not, or even that he's a shapeshifter, until 2016, as seen in season 1's "Myriad", well after Kara and Alex have grown up.
