Trivia[]

  • The episode's title is a reference to the Bob Dylan song "Shelter from the Storm".
  • Mon-El acknowledges the 1985 film Back to the Future after using the phrase.
  • Alex suggests that she and Ruby watch the 1974 film Young Frankenstein.
  • In Lex's mansion, there is a version of the painting St. Michael Vanquishing Satan by Raphael.
  • M'yrnn mistakes Kara for Ursula and says he does not agree with Kem-L regarding the Eradicator Project. "Ursula" could be a corruption of Ursa, a Kryptonian supervillain who is an ally of General Zod and Non in the comics. The Eradicator was a semi-sentient Kryptonian artifact designed to preserve its people's history, but the militant Kem-L, an ancestor of the House of El, corrupted it to destroy all other cultures in the process. The Eradicator was also responsible for altering the DNA of a group of Kryptonian colonists, thus creating the Daxamites.
  • The traps in the mansion in front of the vault resemble the ones set by Lex Luthor in the 1978 film Superman.
    • Furthermore as Reign walks down the hallway to Lex's vault, she is shot with machine guns, fire, and ice. This is the same as Superman experiences breaking into Lex's underground hideout in a previously deleted scene from the movie.

Goofs[]

  • When Mon-El returns to Earth, he tells Supergirl that Brainiac 5 calculated her chances of defeating Reign, which were "exponentially" improved with the help of a Legionnaire. However, Brainiac stated the chances of success were 51% alone, and 83% with the Legion's help, which is only a 32% improvement. For the improvement to be exponential, it would need to be multiplied by at least a factor of 10.
