I'm predicting they pull a page out of the Smallville playbook and she will have her head knocked and forget everything for the last 48 hours.

Arrow doesn't need it, if they spend a bit more time on the choreography they could work excellently in the day, but it is supposed to represent the Dark Gotham mood. They're light on CGI. Supergirl has the opposite problem, it has to be light bright Metropolis (in National City) but CGI works better at night.

Good episode finally, a lot happening. Felt entire series so far a slow plod.
Really good episode but not for the actual "Supergirl" parts. Her relationship with Kat is clearly the strongest part of the show. Calista Flockhart kills it every time and Melissa is proving herself to be quite a strong actress. The fight scenes in this are simply awful though. I literally laughed out loud when Non pushed away all the DEO agents. So bad.

Yep.
I hope they don't. Would be a nice dynamic if Kat knows. Don't think she'll exploit it either, at least I hope not.
Good ep, except for the as mentioned, fight stuff. And Naan at the end.
Cat forgetting would be stupid. Hopefully they don't take anything from Smallville..
One thing I hope for, is that Cat doesn't try to exploit Kara. Wanting her to help her get an advantage in some small cases would be one thing, and something I'd might expect. But don't want them to have Cat go all out greedy and try to exploit Kara. That would make the character of Cat go down a lot.

Agreed. If anything, I see Cat continuing to be a mentor/mother figure for Kara. Giving her pep talks, telling her not to take anyone's shit. I don't see her exploiting Kara when she can hype her up and try and make her better than Superman for many people.

LOL. Awesome. Looking forward to seeing Benoist pull that off.

Goddamn, Benoist is killing it. I mean the role isn't really all that thankful but Jesus H. Christ.
Wouldn't have guessed based on her role in Glee.

On second thought if you slowed it down and made it darker it could have came out exactly the same
Ah gawd, the CG really isn't flattering after all.

Dug the last episode. Although going out in mid battle sucked. I was expecting at least some glass shattering before the cut.

Superman doesn't kill.
She serious? What the hell did he do to Zod? Put his ass to sleep?

Not the same Universe. And even if I was, she might well have meant "unless he's forced to in the moment to save lives."

Maybe it's just me, but I think this is awesome for a TV show budget. I grew up on Lois & Clark and freakin Smallville and this is LEAGUES above what those shows achieved (for obvious reasons). So I'm a happy camper.
I do agree though that Supergirl should not have it's fight scenes in the middle of the day like that. TV special effects have come a long way but not far enough to show them in middle of the day when it's sunny out. Or at the very least keep that stuff on the ground. This show has shown it can't do flying combat well. Period. It simply does not have the budget for that and you can't cut corners on that front if you want it to look at the very least decent. Flight by itself is good though. As a result they should perhaps work on showing off Supergirl's speed ala Flash and Strength, as well as her heat vision, freeze breath, etc. and keep the flying to traveling unless we're dealing with night fights.

Doesn't Olsen alone render the show totally incompatible with the movie?
Not really, right? He wasn't seen or mentioned and I don't think Jenny was supposed to take his place (mainly because they don't share the same last name).
They don't have to bruh. Different actors that's all.
The sisters should at least match a bit. Also Lois didnt mention her army connections on the movie.

TV Universe(s) are separate from the movie universe for DC. It's only Marvel who links the two formats.
Don't do this.
Yes. This however might not be enough proof for the other guy that they can't be linked.
Edit: looking back over the episode, that look when Hank says he can read minds.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Show isn't linked to Man of Steel at all.
Good episode, that cliffhanger though...What the fuck?
When you're making a movie with $225 million dollars, of course it's going to look spectacular next to a TV series that's made for about $3 million per episode.
Well yeah, of course, but that still doesn't change the fact that it looks bad. lol
Lashley

Doubt the Flash has a higher budget yet the effects on that show and everything fighting related look way better.
They need to step up their game... Not because of Mos but because of the other super hero shows.

We won't feed your fetish.
Jeremy Jordan is a pretty talented guy ... I didn't really research what he had done before Supegirl, but these DC shows have been casting really well.

That was indeed the point I was making.
So that makes another candidate for the musical crossover between The Flash and Supergirl.

Mama Cat is great. Papa Joe's true counterpart.

It won't be that stupid, Alex will have J'onn take Supergirl's form and do a flyby in front of Cat and Kara

nope
Shoryuken!
This show really needs to set action scenes at night, Arrow and Flash do it all the time and they look far better that way.
nah, it's just that flight is one of the hardest things to do with wire work. Flying fist fights look awesome when their animated, but when done with wirework it always looks awkward, cuz no one has figured out how to plant their feet in mid air and give some weight to the punches.

For a TV budget, the CGI was great. I was okay with it. And we finally got a Man of Steel-esque fight! Was hoping for that the whole time.
Five bucks says the season finale CGI will be way better and more epic.
Is anyone else okay with Supergirl offing somebody? I kind of am.
I gotta say it again, Supergirl having a boiling, raging anger beneath her kind and steely exterior is great. It immediately differentiates her from Clark, Oliver, and Barry.

They should take the bleach route and claim they are standing on gravity platforms
This way instead of floating everywhere they are grounded in their actions

I didn't have much of an issue with the CG, but with the fights themselves. They looked really stiff, even when fighting on the ground.
Other than that, yeah, I really like Kara as a character and obviously Kat as well. I thought the reveal was really well done and I liked the the acting from both thoughtout the episode, but especially from Benoist. There's just something that makes me buy her anger, frustration and rage, which I feel is hard to do in general. Good stuff, really.

Kat Grant is the best
no one is saying that it is, but it could. Head cannon and all.

I'm in the Supergirl should be in Arrowverse camp, so of course I'm not allowing fun for the Man of Steel camp.
