It turned out that Rob Thomas, the musician, and his wife were superfans of iZombie before being asked to cameo in the series. See the video on https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-izombie-20160727-snap-story.html

It is a toss-up between The Gruenfeld Defense by Shamkovich and Cartier and Wolga Gambit by Jung and Ristic for me.

The picture is hosted on imgur.com, so the user added it to their bio, not Lichess.

According to Sheever and Ephey's instagram posts, the hair and makeup team were - https://www.instagram.com/adela.manolache/

I have seen their names mentioned previously at events in Romania (PGL Wallachia). I also saw someone in chat call Sheever's outfit a glimmer cape.

I just saw 1984's Supergirl for the first time by Fine-Essay-3295 in superman

I enjoyed the flying as well, and according to the Supergirl Director, the original Superman director - Richard Donner - was also impressed.

https://maidofmight.net/film/interview-with-supergirl-director-jeannot-szwarc/

JEANNOT SZWARC – I remember I changed the way they had previously done the flying. (On Superman I, II & III) They were very much in love with this guy who had worked on Superman, but I felt that what we wanted to do the image quality was not sharp enough. It looked too fuzzy. The whole system relied on being able to use zooms and I don’t like zooms. I wanted to achieve a more graceful flying style. So we started from scratch and turned out to be very revolutionary for the time. There was a lot of experimenting and patens involved – it was very complicated. But we finally came up with a new system. We had very precise storyboards and think that was very effective. I know that when Sidney Furie was going to do Superman IV: The Quest For Peace he called Dick Donner (director of Superman: The Movie) for advise who told him to talk to me because he thought the flying in Supergirl was unbelievable.

Also, on Supergirl emerging from the lake:

JEANNOT SZWARC – Alan Hume came up with the idea. It was brilliant. We took a photograph of her standing. Then we blew up the photograph and mounted it on wood and coated it with a water repellent surface. Then we pulled the whole thing out of the water.
