I thought Supergirl was okay. The cast was charming, and they dealt with a couple issues well in the pilot

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Oct 27 '15, 18:57

they directly addressed the "girl/woman" controversy

they addressed the dumbass cousin who lives in Metropolis

they gave a plausible reason for superpowered villians

its not a deep show, but it did seem to have a sense of fun

I'll watch again

it was a lot of fun. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 27, 19:37
I thought it was one of the worst written pilots I've ever seen. -- nm - David Oct 27, 18:59 31
- couldnt have been worse than the past two episodes of Gotham. -- nm - Jovian Oct 27, 19:08 7
  - Gotham is intentionally written as more comic book, than Paddy Chayefsky. you have to factor that in :( -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 27, 19:38
  - IMO it's been a nice throwback to the camp of the original ... bit of a break from the old ultraviolence. -- nm - Bury'm Oct 27, 19:09 3
    - yes but its just so poorly done. I mean Selina actually guilt tripped *Gordon* out. I mean come on. -- nm - Jovian Oct 27, 19:14 1
      - its awesome, everytime she steals sh!# in the future, he'll think "If I hadn't let her down...." -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:16
    - I like lines like "I'll skin that little cat bitch too" Its like they don't know how this is going to turn out -- nm* - crash davis Oct 27, 19:12
  - I liked the Firefly arc better than most. -- nm - David Oct 27, 19:09 1
    - Serenity now! -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 19:26
- It really was. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 19:05 3
  - given the source material, no - now if it was Batgirl then it would be different - crash davis Oct 27, 19:06 2
    - the chick in a wheelchair because Bruce is a dude that puts chicks in wheelchairs? - jangles Oct 27, 19:08 1
      - you're trolling Remlik for free comics - first you better make sure that he cares that you get your stuff straight -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:11
- Jesus...no it wasn't. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 19:04
- you need to see more pilots -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:00 17
  - It directly contradicted itself at least three times. Kim and I were laughing at it. - David Oct 27, 19:03 15
    - list them please. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 19:04 14
      - I won't presume to know what David's issues with the pilot were, but one thing that really bothered me was (spoilers) - IrishStephen Oct 27, 19:34 1
        
        I won't presume to know David's issues either -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:46
      - Why should I work harder than the writers did? - David Oct 27, 19:10 10
        
        Maybe it will improve (in your eyes)? -- nm - Bury'm Oct 27, 19:13 9
        
        We won't be watching any more of them for a while. - David Oct 27, 19:17 8
        
        You think The Flash is better than Arrow? Interesting... -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:18 7
        
        They're both inferior to Daredevil. -- nm - Bury'm Oct 27, 19:21 2
        
        I have heard good things about that but I haven't watched it yet -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:23 1
        
        It's worth trying. -- nm - Bury'm Oct 27, 19:29
        
        It would scare me if there were people who didn't. -- nm - David Oct 27, 19:19 3
        
        The Flash is fun, but Arrow is a much better show - crash davis Oct 27, 19:21 2
        
        Oh, honey. -- nm - David Oct 27, 19:21 1
        
        this. - Spawn Oct 27, 19:33
      - PDFTT -- nm - jangles Oct 27, 19:07
  - It was inoffensive, superhero fluff - kind of like a sorbet cleansing the palate after the main course of Gotham -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:02
Krypton > Gotham - jangles Oct 27, 18:58 1
- I'm guessing math wasn't your strong suit. You've got symbols backwards. -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 19:01
