Adorable.

I liked her already on Glee and I think she was only on for for 2 seasons.Y'all are late to the party anyway. Some of us endured 4+ seasons of Glee when she was on it.
I used to watch Glee, but actually stopped watching it shortly after she was introduced in it, so I didn't see many episodes with her. Heh.
Season 1 is the only season I felt was actually worth watching.
She was likeable as an actress/singer, but the character wasn't really fleshed out and the storylines she was involved in were usually bad. On the other hand, the villains always had that show. Like Grant Gustin as Sebastian or Kitty (Becca Tobin) as a foil for Marley.

That's going to be a symbol of power and feminists that is going to capture the cultural zeitgeist. The appeal is immense. And Melissa Benoist is just the one to lead the charge.
SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

Saw the first episode of this at Comic Con and it was pretty terrible. And I wanted to like it so bad - I mean this actress who plays Supergirl is perfect for the role, the writing just killed it for me. The strengths of the writing should have been the link this show has to Man of Steel and his world, and it just ends up being the weakness of the show (mainly how Superman "interacts" with her).
But this show isn't linked to Man of Steel at all.
And why would you want it to be? MOS Supergirl would be the absolute shits.
But this show isn't linked to Man of Steel at all.
Then The Flash show wouldn't exist and it's the best thing to happen to DCTV in years. Then again Arrow Season 3 would likely have never happened as well ...I wish every DC property on TV was connected to the the movies.
Makes it easier to collect.
Unless the writing/pilot has changed, it definitely is.
The very first thing you see in the pilot is a conception of Krypton that looks, feels, and is absolutely NOTHING like the one you saw in Man of Steel. It becomes immediately obvious the two aren't linked. You see Jor-El and Lara launch Clark onscreen. It does not look like how it looked in Man of Steel at all.
They're not the same universes. They put that right up front. I'll give Berlanti this - for as much as he annoyed the shit out of me with his handling of Superman in this show (it stops the pilot cold every fucking time) he was pretty good about not going to great expository pains regarding how this universe has nothing to do with the Man of Steel one. It's not exactly subtle, but it's made clear about every 4 or 5 minutes that we're not in that universe.
Wow, well, if it isn't, then that strikes me as really strange given the story. I assumed that the Krypton shots were just due to TV/licensing limitations somehow. I think I even remember straight up scenes where they either quoted The Supes/Zod fight in Metropolis or had it on the front page of some paper on the wall. I haven't really kept up with the press on this so, had no idea that it was a seperate entity.
That, I guess, would explain the scene where she's."captured" by the government
Wow, well, yeah, I'll have to do some digging on the press for this.
Totally agree on the handling of Supermanand the Jimmy Olsen thing. I'm going to eyeroll every episode if that's the length of her interaction with her cousin
Who cares about what universe it's in.
If anything, it is connected to Arrowverse, not the DC movieverse.
Kara Zor-El in the movie universe was on Earth 10,000 years ago if I'm remembering the prequel comic correctly, that's where the ship Clark found that was buried underground came from.
Superman in SupergirlIt doesn't align with Man of Steel at all.has already been active for over 10 years.
That one guy did. Which is why we were correcting him. So as to make it easier for him to just enjoy the show.
Haha, thanks man! (Thumbs up)
I'm a DC nerd, so I'll give this show a chance, and I want to see it succeed, just really didn't dig the writing.
Yeah, the way they handled Superman's absence in the pilot is a big problem, but pretty much everything else I thought pointed to a pretty decent start. Benoist plays a really, REALLY charming Kara, and I'm hoping they play to that as much as possible.
Oh, that's right. Forgot about that. Did Snyder ever confirm that body on the ship was supposed to be Kara's?
They can be connected if Berlanti is up to it, although it will probably not happen this season:I'm pretty sure they stated that the CBS universe is different from the CW universe. Flash might still be able to crossover because speed force though.
I do, should've been part of the ArrowverseWho cares about what universe it's in.
Honestly, Superman should've been out entirely and made her the only "Super" here.Oh, yeah, I agree, they cast a perfect Kara in Benoist. I'd never even heard of or seen her before I saw this pilot, and I think her acting in the role was fine.
Since this isn't in the Man of Steel universe, I think they should have just written Superman out of it. Like Supes disappeared years ago, and no one knows where he is, etc. , so Kara has to fill his shoes while he's gone. Then if the show found its legs and validated more funding they could have brought Supes in later.
I don't think I want to see this tied to Arrowverse. Superman's absence there wouldn't make any more sense than it does in this show either.
Honestly, Superman should've been out entirely and made her the only "Super" here.
A crossover would make me care more. Putting DC shows on different stations and then isolating them is stupid as shit. Make it happen, Johns.We really need a crossover.
A crossover would make me care more.
Because I hate CBS.Why?
True.It's not like the shit that happens on the other show makes the shit that happens on this show "count" more.
Because I hate CBS.

Lack of imagination, or lack of balls.
One of the two.
