Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1

Yeah, there was definitely enough setup in Flash Back. Barry arrives with tachyon device on his chest in Supergirl, Barry acquires tachyon device in the latest Flash ep.

It was a very good crossover overall, if rather light. The first Livewire/Silver Banshee teamup seemed a bit perfunctorily taken care of, but the chemistry between Benoist and Gustin was fantastic. My favorite moment was probably Kara's reaction to Barry getting everybody ice cream! Well, or maybe Cat's comment about them as a CW cast.

I didn't really expect to, but I was very much missing Alex and Hank.
 
The CW cast line was funny, if only because the worst character on a show where about 75% of the cast is terrible is taking a stab at the CW, when basically all of the Flash's main cast is awesome.

If you say so.

I'm sure twenty seconds after meeting the next super-powered person either of them encounters (since they had no way of knowing if the other one was a hero, viliain, or really anything else whatsoever, so nothing you said makes any sense, but whatever), they'll not only reveal her identity, but the main protagonist of the show will strip and show off their powers to boot. Then by the end of that same scene they'll be super BFFs taking each other's stories at face value.

Yes, it was an unrealistic, quickie BFF moment to pander to giddy fanboys/girls.

Which is pretty much exactly what I said in the post you originally quoted. But by all means, please continue to try to bitch about it despite anyway.

You seem to have the time to continue your tradition of ranting in threads as if yours is the last word on anything, or posting things some covered pages ago.

OK...so now is there a new episode next week, or does the lack of a preview mean yet another repeat or special or something?

I don't mind if they go from semesters to trimesters, or if a special event absolutely has to break up a week. But off then on just about every other week is crazy! As someone mentioned (sorry I forgot who) -- that kind of inconsistency is going to sink ratings...and really for no good reason. I know Gotham is off for a couple of weeks as well... are they trying to compete directly, and see how the match-ups do, or something?

I'm grateful my DVR tracks the episodes so I don't have to cuz it is annoying.

So, for this "big crossover," its not much of an improvement; its back in the range of episode fourteen's ratings. One would think this was the greatest thing since the superhero was first adapted to film, if one believes the small circle of fanboy explosions seen on review shows such as a few on YouTube.

If the "big crossover" did not shoot ratings up to a significant level, who knows what will encourage more to discover--and more importantly--stick with the series.

Geez, why shit on this so hard? It entertained those that watch the shows and provided a bit of a ratings bump.

Okay, and that relates to anything you were trying to (pointlessly) argue about this episode... how exactly?

You do realize that Barry didn't actually have anything to lose there. He was in a completely different universe (and he knew it). His secret identity means absolutely nothing. Supergirl, meanwhile, didn't have a choice. She was in the middle of a crisis and had to leave. The only weird part about it is that they apparently forgot to go check on the people who were being attacked before getting to know each other (which was stupid).
 
I hate to say, but the crossover ep did nothing to draw me back to Supergirl. It's a nice show, but so slight and a bit forced if I'm honest. The public/firemen help out sequence was very cheesy when it should have been uplifting. I think for me, Supergirl the TV show has exactly the same pros and cons as Supergirl the movie. (ie: Supergirl herself is great, everything else is pretty blah.) I'm bummed, because I really want to like it. :(

Two random thoughts...

1. Kara's all-too-real reaction to the ice-cream was great.
2. The people doing the vanity blurring on Flockhart need to ease off, man. Holy cow.
