"Wait- your mother's name is Nora? Does that mean we're friends now?"
"What? No. I said Moira. Take those decals off your ears and listen, Barry"
"Hey guys- did you say both of your mothers were named Alura?"
"Geez, Kara. For someone with super hearing, you're deaf as shit."
Oliver: "This isn't the first time I've heard of Martha..."

The only true answer.
Yes. Because it is a good move to piss off the people at DC when you're aiming at making part of the movie universe.

Well I mean WB did just release an animated movie that is kinda an apology and directly makes fun of modern/movie Batman.
Not to mention Supergirl just debuted a Superman who acts completely different from the movie version
Who is basically an hommage to Donner Superman, like Supergirl herself. Even if he behaves completely different, there is nothing mean spirited in there.
Which one? But again, the people making those movies aren't trying to get a DCEU movie made. Berlanti is.

Berlanti isn't trying to get a Flash movie made. He isn't trying to connect universes. Berlanti will do Booster Gold and Blue Beetle in the DCEU.

I like it. A modern take on a Kirby hero. What's next, OMAC?
I liked the original color scheme...

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Oh goodness.
If I was to guess, I'd say they're attempting to expand the world of the show a little by introducing the idea of James becoming a new hero. Then you can watch his struggles with becoming a hero instead of it just being Kara. I think it's a little weird to go in that direction since they have the DEO, which is pretty underdeveloped. Working with that would be a more organic way of expanding their internal universe. Like maybe there being a new group of characters who are part of an Alien Response Team. James from this show becoming a crime fighter seems so out of left field and bizarre.

Terrible it is!
Eh, depends on what his intent really is.
The thing that seems to trigger his heroism is when he tries to save that one woman from debris. Maybe he just wants to focus on saving the little guys that maybe Kara can't help when dealing with a bigger threat.
Yikes, that costume is terribad. No yellow at all?

Yeah this looks pretty bad...
It'd be fine if the helmet was align properly. Also, I thought The Guardian's outfit had more color.

Can we not post promo pics in this thread please? I'd personally rather see these things as they happen in show.

I thought the season opener was rough, but I'm glad the majority enjoyed it. I guess I just wasn't able to suspend my disbelief enough to just accept everything as it happened. Kara getting knocked out by a drone missle, a building collapsing because one support beam was destroyed, Supes just hanging out in National City, because fuck Metropolis and him wanting to catch up about Krypton was weird, too. It's not like they had 12 years or so for that. But I suppose AOL messenger isn't the most secure platform to talk about superhero secrets (don't tell Snyder, though). And regarding the last scene, it's also a little weird that they now seem to do every job together, instead of splitting up and taking on different jobs, which would seem more efficient ("actually, I'm pretty sure they do split up for different jobs, you know, off-screen...", shut up, I know it's a minor nitpick). The "up up and away" was pretty cute, though.
All that said, the episode wasn't bad and still had it's moments, as the show usually does. I loved Clark and Superman. Absolutely loved it. I wasn't really concerned about him taking away the spotlight, but still had mixed feelings. But the second I saw Clark clarking it away at the phone with Perry, I was all Cat over him. It really fits nicely with the tone of the show and he got good chemistry with Kara. Cat was grand, as usual. Not sure if all the "I can see through you" stuff is getting a bit too on the nose, though. I also liked that Superman and Manhunter had some history and aren't best friends forever, even if the reason could've been a little better explained. But an uneasy alliance is always fun and you got only so much time.
I also missed the news about this show not really joining the Arrowverse, which changes the perspective for me quite a bit. I guess Clark won't die after all. Huh.
You're right. The quality in Arrow shot right up, once they put everyone and their mother in a costume. Best seasons of Arrow ever.
You need to stop excusing bad writing. Just because they're incapable of portraying anything interesting outside hero activities for more than 5 minutes or more than one supporting character, it doesn't mean that it couldn't be good. Just like the hacking scenes aren't fine, "because lines of codes in terminals are boring" or whatever, so we need sparks flying, eyes of Sauron on screens, pcs going up in flames and people getting electrocuted through monitors.
People tend to care about good stories and interesting characters. Night Club Thea was neither good, nor interesting. It being a CW show does not excuse bad writing. They can do better and they've shown that before. Just adding more heroes is not a solution.

Yeah, it was why I linked to an article instead of outright posting it.
You've got a lot to learn, kid.

Officially released promo pics are fair game to post. You're just gonna have to guard your eyes with a shield scrolling through.

Since when? We even spoiler tag synopses of unaired episodes here.

Nah, breh.
When the promo shots reveal a change like that its definitely considered a spoiler.
No, that only applies to before the show starts airing and the DC TV thread where spoilers are mostly open. You're a real wise guy.
You're suppose to spoiler tag and label any preview discussion. Basically if it's something that hasn't aired yet, spoiler tag it.
Yeah this looks pretty bad...
What free to play mobile game is this?
You can post up links to promos, but discussion should be spoiler tagged.
Pre-release material is fine, the show hasn't started yet. Once it has you should tag it up or go to the general DC TV thread.
We went through this exact same thing with Superman.
Promo shot was trash then most of us liked the suit in motion and everyone loved Tyler as Clark.
We went through this exact same thing with Diggle too, remember?
I still hate Diggle's helmet, but maybe, I'm usually the minority I feel like.

Not an excuse.
Stuff like Mark Hamill in Flash is posted publically because dummies/people who don't often post in the threads can't control themselves, doesn't mean it's how things should be. And again these rules are specific to the OTs, not other threads.

Because Calista Flockhart doesn't wanna have to move to Vancouver, so they're trying to create as little reason for her to be present as possible.

Whatever.
But she is the best part of the show. damn. Maybe Felicity can fill in for Cat Grant
