Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1

[Christopher]

Curtis was all sick and germy, FWIW.

Which made a convenient excuse to avoid showing intimacy between men. Have we ever seen them kiss?

-Didn't care for how Flash and Kara first met. It felt way too convenient that he would arrive, in National City, and save Kara in just that fashion. Does he have super hearing now or something?

He has superfast senses and perceptions, or he'd never be able to function at that speed. The rest of the world is essentially in slow motion to him when he's in that mode. He arrived through the vortex, looked around, and saw a woman falling out of a skyscraper. He reacted as one would expect.

-I also didn't like how Barry was introduced to Cat. Why bring him to the office at all? And Cat can figure out that Barry is the Flash, yet bought that Kara isn't Supergirl?

Again, I'm convinced she still knows that Kara is Supergirl but is just respecting Kara's privacy. I mean, J'onn's outing was fairly public, wasn't it? There were civilian bystanders taking pictures, IIRC. So Cat probably knows that Supergirl has a shapeshifting ally, which pretty much blows her alibi.

-I didn't like Barry having his mask off so much. Sure it's not his Earth, and I didn't catch it if they said he has a doppelganger on this Earth or not, but still if for no other reason to keep the practice of keeping your identity secret, he should've kept his mask on more.

I think they did say there's no Barry Allen on this Earth. And he didn't unmask any more carelessly than he does on his own show.

In the barn fight, does Banshee now have super strength? How was she able to knock down Supergirl with a punch?

That was weird, but apparently her power comes from being possessed by an evil spirit, and magic is one of a Kryptonian's few established weaknesses.

Also, I guess no one else in the city needed saving which is lucky. Not to mention that they go all the way out to the desert and have a nice chat even though there's a supervillain at Kara's work.

SHHH! You are not supposed to point out plotting screw ups and other nonsensical things about this show, lest you are labeled a "hater," / Donald Trump figure, or any other slur some will generate as a reaction to stating legitimate points.

We would only do that if someone were to, say, bang on incessantly about it week after week. At some point, you've gotta realise the show simply ain't for you and move on. Beyond that, you're just doing it to wind up those who enjoy it.

Not sure if this reasoning would work out realistically or not, but maybe Cat has figured it out and keeps quiet because she figures Kara/Supergirl will be harder to track if she quits CatCo as a result of being publicly outed. In other words, my working theory is that Cat keeps quiet at least in part due to business reasoning.

Cat's also just egotistical enough to think that being a "tough boss" on Kara when Kara thinks Cat is treating her like everyone else will be a life lesson for Supergirl and help toughen her mentally. She knows Kara has some anger issues and helped resolve those in a very mature manner (for Cat, it did involve several margueritas...) so continuing to be a jerk boss may be her way of teaching Supergirl the hard lessons without making it obvious she's doing it.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Berlanti on if Cat knows Kara is Supergirl:

UNMASKING HEROES | If Cat was so easily able to decipher that Barry is The Flash, then how can she still be in the dark about her assistant’s secret identity? “There’s a number of people that assume that she does know and just doesn’t say anything,” Berlanti notes. “Both are safe bets. We haven’t firmed up if and when we [will] clarify that point. I think it’s kind of enjoyable to appreciate the show both ways.”

[The Old Mixer]

I've been getting the sense that she still knows, too...especially after the Barry business.

 

[Guy Gardener]

When Supergirl said "Can I just sit here for a while" after the Red K, that was not a conversation between two women who don't know each other.

Good point.

 

[Tuskin38]

My favourite scene in any DC TV production is Kara's reaction to Ice Cream in the crossover.

 

[Arrrrgggh]

Yeah, that was one of the most realistic things ever in the show. XD

No new episode tonight? Same with Flash and Arrow this week.

I understand Supergirl. I don't understand why Flash is taking another hiatus.

I understand Supergirl. I don't understand why Flash is taking another hiatus.

23 episodes in 52 weeks. They have to be spaced out. And networks like to concentrate episodes in sweeps months (e.g. November, February, and May) and have finales around June, so that means there tend to be several gaps in between. This has been pretty routine network scheduling practice for the past couple of decades.

 

[Arrrrgggh]

And yet they wonder why more and more people are turning away from watching their shows live.

 

[tomalak301]

In this age of Netflix and binge watching I think the networks ought to rethink what a season means. Maybe it might be time to introduce quarter season shows. I mean as soon as Flash builds any kind of momentum, they take weeks off. That can't be good for ratings.

Is a season supposed to stretch across an entire year? Maybe I'm getting spoiled but I don't remember this being the norm.

I thought seasons were supposed to be from September to late May or June. Still, Seasons are changing and the networks need to adapt to it somehow.

There is a new episode of Arrow tomorrow.
