Most likely. I hope to see this and Limitless renewed.
Fair enough...I'm just afraid that if some exec told the show-makers to get more "serious and dramatic," Arrow-style melodrama is what we'd get. *Shudder*Well I did say serious and dramatic, not "ridiculously melodramatic".
Embargo Emshmargo.

It's a whole multimedia franchise. Action figures, toys, cartoons, apparel, middle-grade books, online games and apps, even LEGO sets.
Season one of the webisodes was 3 minutes x 13 episodes.
The ad I showed above was for a 40 minute (plus ads) TV special that aired on Boomerang (cartoon network kinda) a month ago, which appears to be completely new material about Supergirl joining the high School.

Supergirl is not much different than all the other super hero shows on right now. Action, drama, suspense, a little soap opera mixed in, cliffhangers from episode to episode, etc. Etc. The only difference i see is the lead is a woman. But overall its just as good as agents of shield and the cw shows. Pretty cool how she was briefly seen in the flash before he guest starred.
At least these producers and writers now are taking these shows more serious and they care and put time into them. Rather than making simple action single episodes like back in the day.

The penultimate episode was pretty thrilling, but I really cannot see any legitimate justification for bringing Alex back into the city. She's just a useless human and her presence gimped J'onn by forcing to telepathically protect her. Her wanting to contribute is just selfish. It just felt like an extremely artificial means to bring her back so she could be taken over and fight Kara at the end. smh
With at least two kills of superpowered aliens in hand-to-hand combat on her resume.
I know people set higher standards for women, but ffs.
There was an episode of The Finder where the good guys were running around in tin foil hats like crazy people. Eventually they're forced to take off their hats, and kapow, every body passes out. Satellites with low intensity microwave beams are zapping the goodies, until they pass out.

Her killing Astra isn't exactly a huge resume-filler. She stabbed a distracted target from behind with, essentially, a poisoned weapon. Anyone with the guts to handle combat at all could've done the same.
And if she was arguing just to be included, your argument would be fine, but she was arguing to be included *at the cost of MM's fighting capability*. If it's a choice between having Alex or having a fully capable Manhunter, the choice should be blindingly obvious to everyone, especially when the villains in question are Kryptonians and have the technological capability of brainwashing humans. Her insisting on going anyway was not only selfish, it was stupid and incredibly unprofessional.
All true.
Of course. This series barely passes a single episode without preaching the "sisterhood" business which is redundant, and does not serve every story. And you are correct--she's only there for the false "Oh, how can I fight my own loving sister" / "I wont fight my sister" as a set up, when as you pointed out, she has no reason to be there, other than to be a convenient problem for Supergirl.
True. Toe to toe, she's a weak human with no chance against a Kryptonian, but leave it to Berlanti to keep forcing the idea of Alex as some badass.
...but not in Berlanti world, where she needed to assert herself (endless times per episode), and once again, place herself in situations she is not equipped to handle. MM needed to flat out refuse to take Alex with him, but thanks to poor writing, an unprotected (from mind control), non-super powered character creates more trouble for the two individuals most likely to stand a chance against Non.
Well, on the bright side, at least Alex Danvers in Kryptonite armor is a villain Superman never faced. Yay, creativity!
Then again, they did that with Batman too.
I have to laugh at this week's special guest star, the Boots of Steel...! 
So they finally named it- Omegahedron. Its a massive power source just like in the movie.
"Better Angels" / season finale--
Supergirl/Kara:When fighting Alex, why not use her freezing breath to immobilize her? Why not use her allegedly faster-than-Superman speed to strip her of the uniform and weapons?
Soo..a restoration of "hope" breaks the mind control? That's about as plausible as rubbing on a rabbit's foot while hoping on one foot.
Wait...James says "no one could have saved all three--not even Clark" That seems to suggest he--contrary to that earlier episode--is faster than Supergirl. Continuity--yay!
No one said Myriad suppressed hope as the key action in allowing humans to become open to mind control.
Supergirl flying the fort into space to stop its threat? Somewhere, movie Iron Man says that tactic sounds familiar...
...and Superman in Superman Returns says hello....
....and if the mind control is broken, why didn't Superman return to normal like everyone else? Nevermind, he's on the big screen.
James: Thankfully, he remembered the kiss. Of course, her "goodbye" to James made the James haters jump for joy that she will never be with that.......you can figure out the rest. Then again, her saying she did not come to earth to fall for a human/have kids also rules out the shippers' obsession with Winn, Cat's son, etc.. but now that James kisses her, expect the same sick group to interpret her reaction as one of pulling back / not wanting it.
Hank: Ever the self-sacrificing individual, he's the best thing on the show. He's very much the star in his every scene. His ripping apart Indigo was the episode's best moment.
Alex: Finally...she's not getting involved in conflicts beyond her abilities.
How does Alex know how to pilot the pod?
Non: He became a throwaway villain.
Winn: The Kara/Winn shippers were hoping big time, ignoring her considering him a friend.
Cat: She has the biggest heart of anyone Kara knows? Sort of tosses all of her similar statements about others out of the window.
Lord: "You have no back up" sounds like a tease for a second season, and after discovering the pod, we can guess the identity of the occupant might lead to expanding the super-powered end of SG's life.
Summary: The FX--the flying/fight scenes were terrible. Will they ever hire the right crew to do the best work?
