Fuck. What just happened? Fucking phone rang

 

[Poodlestrike]

But a pair of glasses is. It always been baffling to me how secret identities work in the Superman spectrum of things.

For the most part, Superman's secret identity is founded on 2 major pillars (these days, at least, before there was all sorts of stuff about hypnotism and face molding and all kinds of wackiness). Acting, and disbelief. Clark Kent slouches, wears clothes a few sizes too large, employs entirely different body language and speech patterns, raises his voice a few octaves... his entire appearance is a lie. The second component is that nobody's looking for Superman's secret identity, because they all assume he just doesn't have one. Why would you want to be anybody other than Superman?

Same applies here.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Well screw you too lady.

yup this episode is so much better than the pilot

I'm really loving this

Same here.

 

[Slayven]

Now that they're using Superman's name, I'm hoping they'll actually call Henshaw Cyborg Superman.


Oh God that scrunchy nose face.

I pray to god they go Cyborg Superman with him.

 

[DangerMouse]

That was a cool action scene

 

[SchrodingerC]

Can't Kara just wear a paper bag over her face? The interview would still work.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I really dislike the art style of the characters in The Good Dinosaur.

 

[BrokenFiction]

That was...not a great plan.

 

[Volimar]

If she doesn't mind the questions it'd raise...

 

[KDash31987]

Huh? I said I didn't mind the "cousin", "him" stuff myself.

Sorry, I guess I misread. I'm reading and posting in a rush on my phone during commercial breaks. Anyway, I meant that people would be happy to hear the names after thinking that they couldn't use them, and complained about the him/cousin stuff.

I totally buy that explanation & it works. It's just in the TV/Film medium; it makes that just slightly harder to sell than in the comic form.

It doesn't bother me; I still love the characters/shows/movies. It's simply always made me chuckle.

 

[StarCreator]

So their plan was just to shoot him with their handguns when he showed up? Really? Absolutely nothing wrong with that plan!

 

[SchrodingerC]

Super measles.

 

[Schweinehund]

Needs to pull a flash and vibrate her face. Though I don't think she's on that level of power yet.

This episode feels a bit more CW style than the pilot, think I'll stick with it for the rest of the season.

We need a lantern show for thursday and titans for friday.

Come on, there were two of them shooting. How could it fail?

Vibrate her face lol

No prob.

And yeah, I'm sure that'll please a lot of people. It's kind of cool to know they can do it.

He was hurt by the guard's gun earlier (and bled from it, which is where the DEO got it from).

 

[DangerMouse]

Those little bits of the theme in the background, so good.

 

[Volimar]

That S shield is like the Eskimo words for snow...

 

[Schweinehund]

Vibrate her face lol

.

 

[DangerMouse]

That was a good moment with her and Henshaw.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Honestly, having Kara help capture the bug instead of just using handguns would have been a better plan.

 

[PreFire]

Definitely the Wells of this show

 

[OdysseusVA]

She knew the exact address

 

[neojubei]

that was an awful punch.

I know her evil master plan, she is trying to stop Dr. Wells from entering their Earth because if he did, not even the man of steel can stop him.

 

[Slayven]

that was an awful punch

It really was/.

 

[Oozer3993]

That S shield is like the Eskimo words for snow...

"It stands for the Spindola Corporation. It was essentially Krypton's Walmart. You would not believe the deal I got on this suit. It was on Rollback."

 

[anaron]

The night flying sequences are notably impressive.

 

[Schweinehund]

Looks like my local station is doing a story on Supergirl and the message it sends to women.

 

[DangerMouse]

The night flying sequences are notably impressive.

Yup, I'm really digging the effects and the flying.

 

[StarCreator]

At least they're not dragging out the reveal of the big bad.

 

[Volimar]

Wow, didn't fool her for a second.




DODGE!

 

[DangerMouse]

Ouch, nice shot through those walls!

 

[Malvingt2]

it is on!!

 

[OdysseusVA]

That was an awkward dance

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Said it last week & again tonight; really like the effects for the laser sight.

 

[StarCreator]

Aren't most bugs immune to their own toxins?

 

[Raxus]

Go agent Danvers

 

[Volimar]

Kiss her!

 

[neojubei]

Its like Man of Steel without the special effects.

 

[Slayven]

Ok, they are not allowed to have flying fight scenes again.

 

[SchrodingerC]

The floating fight scene was kinda awkward.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Loving this fight

 

[Schweinehund]

henshaw being a bawss

 

[OdysseusVA]

Surprise, trick!

 

[BlackGhost]

Idk I still desire more in the fight scenes, but I have hope!

 

[Volimar]

I don't know about you, but I always keep my kryptonite dagger on me.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Oh snap, getting her own Fortress of Solitude.

 

[Oozer3993]

Why didn't Cyborg Superman stab Evil Twin in the heart? You know, besides "to set up the rest of the season."
