SUPERGIRL: Season One

[johnnystorm]

I can't stand the Jimmy Olsen character. And he'll always be a Jimmy, never a James. Sorry, pal, you don't get a choice in this. Only thing that could make me like this guy is if he turned into Giant Turtle Olsen or Elastic Lad .

But sadly, the other fella is just so freakin' bland and boring, what choice is there really?




I liked Live Wire a lot. First episode that truly seemed "comic booky" to me. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of her. And Cat Grant was somewhat less annoying here, but still a long way to go.
One thing starting to bug me is that they are copying the Flash formula too much: secret scifi headquarters, tech friend both male/female, journalist friend, mysterious boss with unknown intentions
, father problem to solve caused by said boss, love triangle, all villains with direct tie to heroes origin...

It's about time another hero showed up isn't it? Obviously Dean Caine isn't completely dead, he's only mostly dead and probably somewhere on the base in stasis, or more likely trapped in the Phantom Zone. And they have to get Helen Slater into that super suit somehow, if only briefly.

This episode was the first time where I disliked Kara a bit...especially at the end...when her male best friend just opened up his feelings towards her...and then bang...the second her eyes clock Jimmy, oh my, please forgive me lord, I mean James, James Olsen...she coldly leaves her buddy in the dust...and like a sick love puppy...goes and greets Kal El's best friend...and damn that he's with his date...Kara doesn't care...she wants him bad...I felt like throwing kryptonite salt on her, lol...

Supergirl has definitely been toned down in power...she's pretty slow too. I suppose it has to be that way for a weekly series...you can't have her easily overpowering the villain of the week...otherwise...yawn, lol. Superman must be a weenie in this world as well, I suppose, lol...

This one was an improvement for me. Cat Grant was less annoying and actually seemed human. The mystery they set up was intriguing. But man, the dialog needs some work. Some it has actually been cringe-worthy, ever since episode 2. Whoever does the snappy dialog polish on the Flash needs to take an hour and fix up these Supergirl scripts. The actors are far better than many of the words coming out of their mouths.

I'll try a couple more episodes, but I'm not really liking the show.

[Mr.Marion]

yeah, there was apparently some terrorist activity in the episode that was supposed to be shown tonight so they pulled it because of what happened in Paris

I'll take any Supergirl I can get, hopefully there are no spoilers or reveals that come with playing episodes out of order.

This monday episode "How Does She Do It" is not going to shown, instead they are showing Livewire.

Supergirl on the new show is supposed to be 24 years old.

A bit off topic but one thing that did make me laugh --- Jeb Bush was quoted as saying she's hot.

Everybody made a stink because she suppose to be 16 --- in reality I think she's like 27

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I don't think CBS is playing ball with the others. Goes along with being the Old Fart Network, I guess.

Wish my free-on-demand had CBS

For some reason it only has ABC, NBC and Fox

[johnnystorm]

Three episodes in...the only character I like on the show is Supergirl. She is just the right amount of sweet and adorable. They can kill off Cat Grant asap she is horrible.
Having Henshaw turn out to be The Martian Manhunter would be cool. He did seem to hsve some telepathic abilities by "knowing" Kara's sister was in the building .
So far the villains have been lousy. Unfortunately, Supergirl has an even less awesome villain group to choose from than Superman. After Reactron there's what? Black Flame? Luthor's niece? Flash has it made with the Rouges Gallery, Green Arrow just stole a few from Batman. Supergirl looks to maybe be headed to the JLA for foes, but after Max Lord is there really anyone else short of fighting other heroes like fire or ice ? And using more Superman villains like Parasite or Terra Man will just lead to more comparison angst. I think the best choice is to just raid DC history for all the oddball villains, stuff like Mr. 103, or Ultra the Multi Alien, or Chemo. Might be interesting if tge show gets a second zeason to bring in the Legion of Super Heroes. And Streaky the Super Cat!

I'm hoping Maxwell Lord means that they are going to bring in more Justice League International characters. I think Booster and Beetle would fit in this show perfectly.
