In comics, these stories are fine and fun. But it starts getting a tad silly on TV and movies.
The Martian storyline.
First...Mars is too bloody close to Earth. Krypton was really far (and destroyed), that's fine. But Mars is still here and is one of the naked eye planets.
So humans were unaware of an existing Martian civilization? A civilization that had big white Martians attacking small green Martians?
And if the big white Martians are aggressive, super strong, and number in the millions...why have they not invaded Earth yet?
The story works in comics...but find it rather silly in the TV show.
I know, I know, suspend disbelief, Hector, just enjoy the show...yeah, I am, still watching Supergirl, don't worry...Ill keep going along for the ride, lol...
The time travel aspect could still be in play on the show. We don't really know how J'onn got here yet.
I don't see how this is harder to swallow than Krypton, as long as the time travel angle is kept.

^Exactly. I'm done with shows and films that feel embarrassed by their source material, and have to strip all of the gonzo fun out of it to make it work. Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and to a lesser extent Arrow, prove that you can embrace the inner Silver Age, and still have an engaging show.

I like Supergirl.
I get it that it may not be 'enough' for folks, but I like the fact that it isn't over the top, or in your face, or loud, or dark.
I think it's a wonderful show for kids and girls to latch onto.
I hope it survives for another season.Everyone is Entitled to MY Opinion...Your's, not so much!Comment

I agree. The producers said they wanted more like the Reeve/Donner movie so I watch with that in mind and it works.Better late than never.....Comment

SPOILERS FOR AN UPCOMING EPISODE
Anyone who remembers comics of the 80s, or the JLU animated series should recognize this:
Who ever thought we'd see THAT in live action?

Yeah, tonight's episode definitely had a very comic booky vibe to it, but in a good way rather than a way that pokes fun at the source material. I really was hoping Kara would at least give Lord just a taste of heat vision, tho...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment
