I have been thoroughly enjoying this show and it is a show that my daughter and son can watch with me. I hope CBS really gives it a full run.

I so want to see season 2 of Legends to include some of the characters from Supergirl.

I have been saying since Supergirl was in talks that this WILL happen in time for the May sweeps.

Supergirl & Flash would indeed make a great team-up and I would love to see Supergirl and Constantine team-up to go against Silver Banshee.

Bleeding Cool is sharing a rumor that The Flash could make an appearance on Supergirl during May sweeps (as long as ratings are sufficient enough for CBS to order the "back nine" episodes, they have so far only committed to 13). I was just watching the lastest episode of Supergirl the other day and imagined how cool it would be for the Flash to show up out of nowhere, I think it would be a good match.

And this is when Supergirl jumps the shark.

Unless they are introducing the Legion of Super-Heroes a young Kal-El does not need to show up. If it is a rating boost you need than have SuperMAN actually show up or have this show cross-over with Flash.

Okay, back to Supergirl (since this is her thread)...

Looks like a teen Kal El will make an aapreance,,,

Sorry, Mr Barr...but comparisons between the two is valid...as female superheroes are a rarity...especially lead female superheroes. One just happens to be dark and serious...and the other one cotton candy fluff. Nothing wrong on your personal preference...just that in the world of Hector...Jessica Jones wins hands down.

Perhaps if I had kids, especially girls...I'd lean towards Supergirl. But since I'm a single non parent...the Netflix show is more up my alley. I'd never said just one should exist...both deserved their respective audiences...certainly room for both.

Here's an article from a female writer...

Go figure...

She's wrong on the cancellation part, as one is Network and the other one is Streamed (no direct head-to-head competition). I also disagreed on the part that she takes issue with Supergirl wearing a costume (missing the point much?), duh, it's a superhero...I don't think the writer is familiar or into comics at all, lol...

I missed last night's episode thanks to my DVR deciding it didn't want to function as planned, so I'll be catching it tonight ON DEMAND.

Took me three sittings to finish this episode. Harder and harder to watch every week.

[Hector]

I'm so sorry to say, but after watching Jessica Jones (not quite finished yet)...Supergirl is just looking plain insipid to me...I'm now having a hard watch watching it...it's basically a Devil Wears Prada knockoff (as numerous here have mentioned before)..it also borrows heavily on the Flash (also mentioned), just nowhere in its league. The villain of the week is laughable...cardboard cutouts if you ask me.

The special effects are winding down too...not as spectacular as the premier episode.

Wow, I'm such a huge Supes fan, and been a bit of a Batman hater for years...but here I am, hating on Supergirl...and loving every second of Gotham...who would've thunk it, lol.

I won't abandon Supergirl yet...as Benoist is still adorable and charming as heck...but she so parallels Helen Slater...both perfect Supergirls...in rather disappointing productions.

Hopefully next season...they can work out some of the kinks...improve upon its freshman season.

I found the dialog snappier in this week's episode, even though it should have been LAST week's show. The scene at the end was so straight out of Lois and Clark Season 1 that I half-expected Kara to morph into her adoptive dad.

But after a dip with the 2nd and 3rd episodes, the show is really picking up for me. Red Tornado is next week, and hopefully they CGIed up his carpet-remnant look.

Last night's episode was the better of the four that have been aired. Dialogue is still wince-worthy and they really need to ditch some of the clichéd triangles that are showing up (Kara loves Jimm--er, uh--James, Winn loves Kara, Kara only sees Winn as a friend). They could tweak the opening monologue as well and make it a bit less hammy. I suppose they figure if it works for ARROW and THE FLASH, it'll work for them.

Finally glad to see they're introducing some form of intrigue into the show via Kara's foster parents and the DEO.

Agreed it seems like they trying to "humanize" Cat with this episode. When Kara mentioned that her parents died in a fire, it seems to have struck a chord somewhere in Cat, so I'm sure there's some backstory there somewhere.
