You haven't been keeping up with the CW lately have you? Lots of exceptions. Favorite network right now by far.
Except the 100, fucking god dammit, had 1 amazing season and couldn't stay away from forcing the show back into pointless shitty drama.

Gotham is fantastic right now on Fox. I dunno about lucifer but that airs on fox as well.
Doesn't WB have ties with HBO? Seriously think a constantine series on hard R cable in the vein of something like penny dreadful would be lit
None of this Mickey Mouse NBC/CW stuff
Honestly not 100%. I used to watch Vampire Diaries and that turned to shit and a bunch of melodrama, which is what I expect from CW. Maybe they've gotten better?
If I was an executive, I would have Supergirl air right after The Flash. They are both light-hearted comic book shows, so pairing them together makes sense.
I have no idea where iZombie would move though.
I hope Supergirl stays on Monday. I like the daily DC routine.
Nobody should wish that on a show.
Super happy!
Hopefully this mean that it will go for 10 seasons like Smallville

I really need to see the first season of Supergirl. I watched 2 or 3 episodes, but I didn't continue watching it.
Never mind that The Flash continues to have some of the best special effects in a TV show.
I'm glad it's moving. The CW is a much better fit and we'll get a lot more crossover opportunities.

While Supergirl was far from a great show, it was still one that I at least enjoyed and was entertained by week after week. I am happy about the renewal, and especially happy about the move to CW, because it means more crossovers in the future.
I think my wife is happier about the renewal than I am, which is weird for a comic book show since I am the comic nerd in the house. But I think she is just happy to see a fun show with great female characters come back.

100% Winn is in love with her
100% she shames him when it comes to hacking
400% Felicity on The CW

Meh. It's not terrible show, but this pretty much kills any chances of CW getting a new DC show in the near future
What other DC show would The CW get anyway? Constantine was never going to happen while Supernatural exists and DC/WB thinks they can still make Justice League Dark. Unfortunately.

It's not just the best DC show on air. It's the best comicbook show on TV. Period. What they've pulled out in Season 2 is absolutely and utterly ridiculous.

I'm just thankful we got to see an angry Superman equivalent in live action. Despite how fucking awful the Red Tornado looks, this scene was rad.

With Calista's "must work in L.A." clause in her contract. Despite the budget cuts, I wonder if she managed to get a decent raise with the show's move to Vancouver? If she did, good for her and her agents.
Red's look doesn't bother me because it's just a prototype

Yeah, this was my "worst case scenario" for the show since I knew there was no way WB would let it die. I'm not looking forward to another DC show taking place in Vancouver though but if that's what it takes, I'll miss the the frequent outdoor scenes and the California atmosphere. Hopefully they still film a good deal of footage in LA that can be transplanted into scenes and can still treat it was the "outside" through windows, flying, to at least attempt to sell it as being a different location though I guess it isn't like either Arrow or The Flash do much with the skyline in the day time. Just hope I never see the damn Woodward's W in it even if they could be treated as a "Wayne Enterprises" Easter egg.
Stock footage of LA? I don't think such a thing exists.
Can't wait for the 4x night crossover next year.
SUPERGIRL - Kara finds a red ring.
THE FLASH - Team Star Labs deduces the ring is alien.
ARROW - Felicity activates the ring and it turns Kara into a Red Lantern.
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW - they rewrite time so Red Lantern Supergirl never existed,

looool
It shouldn't be very hard to transfer over most of the indoor "look" barring the amazing DOC cave. Can they afford to build another one?
The flying scenes are all CGI/wirework so assuming the DoP is sticking around, I'm not worried those will look the same. plus the outside lighting for some scenes like Cat's balcony looked super fake anyway so it shouldn't be hard to replicate that. lol
If Flash is anything to go by, the show should look better.

yeah but he has scrub level tk. He couldn't break their bones
If you're wanting a truly epic crossover, you're looking at the wrong ring.
That would be better. LSOH fixing all the time-line fuck-ups.
BUT that rises/falls entirely on who they cast as Brainiac-5. Finding someone who looks like a model (in green make-up) but can deliver that God-tier exposition/science jargon with ease is a tall order.
Although Brainiac-5 talking down to Felicity would be amazing.

It's not so much of a weakness like Kryptonite but more that they don't have an invulnerability/resistance to it. Kara could still wreck Damien's shit faster than he could react.
And then near the end of the episode where Felicity has to hack into and save a damaged Braniac-5 and manufacture a replacement processor that she's made improvements on.
She'd destroy his totem and Diggle would just rebuild it.

But they would leave one piece hidden under a sofa cushion so it'd all work out.
Could she? She doesn't really seem to have anywhere close to Barry's reaction speeds - and he still needs to turn on his on - and needs to fly to get any sort of real momentum. If she's standing a few feet away he could probably stop her movement, he can do it to arrows. Not sure he'd see the heat vision coming after that though.
She's pretty nerfed for a Kryptonian, although it's for fair reason.

is it ok to start from season 2 after quitting after 8 eps of season 1? or would i miss/ dont understand some important stuff?

CW needs to become a big boy network and add. Ten o'clock block.
You know that Felicity will end up being responsible for Brainiac, and will create Brainiac-5 to stop him. Then Brainiac-5 will fall for Felicity, playfully calling her a witch as she calls him a vision,

Sure. The tiny bits you might miss are explained in the show anyway.

I need more Constantine with Matt Ryan. If I can't get Hellblazer series, make him a member of a team up..magic-focused S2 of LoT, or make a Trenchoat Brigade or a JusticeLeagueDark under different name with diffrent characters than the movie will have. Or in worst case scenario..have him gueststar on CW shows.
Whatever...just keep the character alive.
I haven't seen Season 2 of Gotham. I'd rather shit was not spoiled for me in completely unrelated shows.

didn't supergirl already crossover with flash as multiverse?
if they're gonna make supergirl the same universe then they're gonna have to retcon that aren't they
There will almost certainly be an event that brings either the characters or the universes together.

In that crossover they had Supergirl make a needlessly complicated analogy about "if two Earths could vibrate at the same frequency, maybe they could be together". It's pretty clear they have plans for this already.
