Revealing mistake: Just after Superman and Supergirl have their talk about him going after Brainiac, it cuts to Lois at the Daily Planet on her laptop. There is a close up and you can see her fingers on the keyboard. She is typing really fast, but the animation shows her fingers just hitting the same 3 or 4 keys over and over again. (00:20:05)

Directed by: James Tucker
Starring: Matt Bomer, John Noble, Stana Katic, Molly C. Quinn
Factual error: When Braniac's robot probe enters the atmosphere over Arizona, fighter jets attempt to shoot it down by hitting it with missiles. The pod is still going fast enough to be on fire from reentry. A missile could not have caught up to an object going that fast. (00:11:30)
Lois Lane: So what do you want?
Clark Kent: ...Marry me.

Chosen answer: If you'll notice, in order to change the trajectory of the missile, she blasts into it with her laser vision to make it vent and change its dynamics. This damage most likely is what caused the detonation by a chain reaction. Another possibility is that the missile was on a timer set to the amount of time it would take to reach the center of the sun. A missile designed to destroy a star in such a manner would obviously have an optimum effect from the very center. But the missile has to survive traveling through the star to get to the center, thus it would be made to withstand the plasma and heat to prevent impact or heat detonation. Thus it was likely timed.
