Episode 2 out yet?
Oh Jeb!
Just imagine that chill that went down the actress' spine when she heard that.
Huh. I just realised that. I wonder how long before GG gets a whiff of this.
I've been hoping for that since they announced Kara's surname. lol

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Er, doesn't this start on the 26th?
Damn it. That start date is so late.

I think I said it before but they laid it on way too thick with the poorly written "grrl power" based over audiences' heads, I really hope it's toned down beyond the pilot or at least better written, a little subtly might've went a long way. I liked the idea I saw posted on another board I go to with Kara being a "rookie" due to not really using her powers, maybe due to the Danvers and how they raised and encouraged her to hide her powers where as the Kents along with living on a big farm gave Clark a chance for a lot of exploring and practice with his powers which could've been coupled with some subtle commentary on the way boys and girls are treated differently.
Well, it was hers first though as Linda Lee. I get the simplifying but Kara did have the surname first.

So pissed I missed this at SDCC for whatever it was I was doing.
I hung in there until the "Why? Because she's a girl? That's exactly what we're counting on" line. I let out an audible groan. Giving them a pass for hitting us over the head with it because it's the pilot.

Hopefully that's all it is but it wasn't all in the groan/eye rolling inducing dialog department to me, I'm not particularly fond of a couple lines of dialog said by
Winn
Kyle Gallner eh? Well, there's one more actor she's worked with who has played (or is playing) a comic character. Now if she worked with John Wesley Shipp on something she'd have a Flash/Allen family trifecta.
Maybe watch the episodes beforehand to screen it, but the pilot was kid friendly enough.
There is no way she's this adorable.
As a parent, there wasn't anything objectionable about the pilot to me.
Pilot was fine for kids, and the show has been marketed pretty heavily to little girls. Of course, it's all dependent on what you want your child to watch, so give it a couple episodes.

Is that supposed to be a punch? Such poor form. But not like she needs form when she has super strength.24 hours left.
Thanks, Joni, Volimar and Reigun! I appreciate the advice.

Is the 8:30 air time a permanent thing or just for the Pilot to get that Big Bang crowd to stick around? Hate the weird half hour start time for an hour long show.

It's only for the pilot. It'll air at 8:00 PM after that.
By the way, if anyone misses the pilot, it'll be re-aired on Saturday at 8:00 PM.
Liked the Pilot its fairly cheesy not up to the Flash level in terms of quality but not as bad as The Arrow but that's purely based on one episode so it could swing either way. Its a tiny bit shoving feminism down your throat or at least the offhand shitty comment from a government official making a
was pretty shit something you would expect from a Drug Lord not a Government Official who clearly has other women working beside and under him...or the
something my SO and myself felt was slightly cringe worthy but once again first episode I expect them to get a better stride as it goes along and it plays around with its themes better.

Well, I guess that's better it's not a half hour start. But, now which to DVR & watch at 9, this or Gotham.
My seven year old daughter loved it. Nothing objectionable.

The exact line is "If you wanna help, go back to getting someone's coffee," after comments were made that she's not very competent, and couldn't even prevent them from catching her so easily.
Her job as Cat Grant's assistant is basically to get her coffee. It's the first thing she's shown doing in the show in the present after the flashbacks at the start. He knows who she really is already, and what she does for a living, hence he's telling her to stick to being an assistant...just not in a nice way.
He's also clearly not fond of aliens, and he blames Supergirl for Fort Rozz crashing on Earth, so he doesn't want her around. He's not shown to have anything against women...just aliens.

But yeah, government people can be dicks regardless.
Even more so when you're someone who becomes an evil Cyborg Superman later on.
But who knows, maybe I'm just naive.
If you want to see people say some truly horrific things about her, look at the comments section for just about anything relating to the show.

Yeah they nailed the "cute yet muscular" design but that punch looks a little weak lol (or rather it doesn't look much like a punch at all).
I think it's just meant to be Supergirl striking a pose.

Yup. It's just random posing. It popped up before the Never-Before-Seen Footage trailer starts, which was aired during a TV commercial break on CBS in the latter half of a </SCORPION> episode a few weeks ago.
Here's an actual shot from the show, of her punching some bank robber:

Oh they like them alright... as long as they're eye candy and/or wearing ridiculous outfits like *shudder* Power Girl's. It's when they show a modicum of grey matter and independence (and God forbid, not be sexualized) is when they go apeshit.
Always tickles me when people use Power Girl as a example of a vapid sexualize object. People look at Power Girl, but not many read Power Girl
Folks skip over her being an electrical engineer and genius computer programmer. AND she organize the take over of a fortune 500 tech company(Starrware Industries) that she made herself CEO of. She was doing all that in the 80s. While Kara was still rocking a corny headband

In all fairness: PG's costume is absolutely an example of vapid sexualization, even if the character very much is not.
It is suspect, but it is a shame most people never gone beyond that. I just hope she doesn't pop back up and have her taking selfies. RIP Oracle, RIP Starfire, and RIP Troia

Hey, now, Starfire's great in her solo book.
(And I still say she wasn't that bad in RHatO).

You all cringe so easily. I love comic book Vartox.
That ride of his is awesome. I'm sad that he's generic in Supergirl.

Nice interview. I figured she'd just laugh it off like she did.
She'll also be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, which is also on CBS. I watch that every weekday night when there's a new one, but it'll be nice to see her on it. The interviews there are quite entertaining.

Why does he wear the mask!?
