Goofs
Alex tells Iris, Chester, Allegra and Caitlin that they are the first to encounter a Kalanorian. However, a Kalanorian started a fight in Al's Dive Bar due to the psychic effect of Myr'nn J'onzz's Ta'ar Ka'riq in the Supergirl episode "In Search of Lost Time".
This could be a change caused by the fallout of the Anti-Monitor Crisis.
