Silas of planet Transylvane. Okay, I see what they did there (missed an opportunity for Gotham bat jokes?), and despite the initial cringe-moment, the explanation kinda works. And I ended up kinda liking the poor guy. Almost hoping he'll stick around (and that J'onn will take it easier on him).
Dad? Okay, stumbling into recognizable new characters can be kinda fun, but... A little too cheap and convenient to the circumstance, perhaps? (Of all the spots in all the fractures in all the Phantom Zone...)
The courtroom scenes: W. T. F. Any armchair-jockey who's seen two episodes of Law & Order (much less watched any actual court case) would know better than to construct that childishly simplistic farce of a trial. I know it's a comic-book show, but it's live-action, too; does the courtroom have to be so senselessly absurd as to be less plot-satisfying than a plain comic-panel with the text "Lex was charged with [crimes], tried, and found not-guilty"?
The Phantoms: Or dementors. Or whatever they are. Meh. Okay. As long as they develop into something a little more interesting as we go. (Hope.)
Brainy's too-quick of-course-The-Phantom-Zone-has-fractured...: Far too quick a realization-and-discovery (as usual), although I suppose the explanation itself, as a set-back vehicle, works well enough.
Multiple emotional-breakdown-and-pep-talk scenes. This is certainly a situation that called for bits of despairing over Kara's fate. But could at least someone hold off on the despondent catastrophizing until after a little longer than the first day?
Overall high-level storyline: fair (6/10). Actual story-portrayal execution: ranges from terrible to fair (4/10). Sigh.

I just... what is... going... errg.
Lemme see if I can break some of this down:
Overall high-level storyline: fair (6/10).
Actual story-portrayal execution: ranges from terrible to fair (4/10).
Sigh.
