Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

Supergirl should have searched the entire building in 2 seconds and found the "bad guys" and captives.
I really don't remember that they showed Supergirl doing superspeed feats à la flash in other episodes. Any particular instance..?
 
Yeah, but then he started his evangelical film career. Which has consisted of fundementalist propaganda films praising things like creationism and anti-science movements. Basically taking the hard-right stance of anti-intellectualism in favour of bible literalism.

So as a villain, it's not a stretch. But giving him money means you might as well be handing it right to those sort of people, helping fund another one.
Wow, I didn't know any of this about Sorbo, this does make me lose quite a bit of my respect for him.
So, both Alex and Winn were already in the room before the lights went out and the white Martian disappeared. That means there would have to have been a third Martian for the scenario to work. Either that or white martians have greater superspeed than kryptonians can see.
Yeah, that bugged me too.

Overall though, I thought this one was pretty fun. I know the whole shapeshifter amongst us/The Thing story isn't original at all, but I still thought they did a pretty job with it.
We got some great fight scenes in this one.
It was disappointing that J'Onn and M'Gann admitted their feeling for each other just before she left, I was really looking forward to seeing them together.
I didn't have to much to bothered by the nuclear reactor, they do have all sorts of futuristic crazy tech in the building, so it makes sense they'd need something powerful to run. It probably could have used a few more safety and security procedures though.
It was a little weird that they gave Kara her big heart to heart scene with fake Alex, and then still had Alex remember it at the end because of her connection to White Martian. Wouldn't it have been easier to just have them have that conversation themselves? Or if not then they could have gotten the extra drama out of Kara having gotten all of that out, but then Alex not knowing about it.

This is the sort of crowd he runs with now. The man is well into the batshit territory these days.
Wow, that is some crazyness right there.
I love the bit about the box office results for Noah, and God's Not Dead. I checked Box Office Mojo and Noah made $101M, and God's Not Dead only made $60M. I don't know what world he's living, but in this world 101 is quite a bit bigger than 60.
 
To be fair, I think they mean big as in relative to budget and marketing scope.

In that sense Gnd probably made a bigger percentage of it's investment back.

Which doesn't say anything about the movies relevance, of course, as the only people who watched it were evangelicals and atheists who made fun of it on YouTube.
 
My, how open minded of you.

:lol: I wasn't going to respond to this, but I just have to. I sat through that piece of garbage, and it is garbage. I may be only mildly religious, so I'm definitely not in its demographic, but God's Not Dead is pretty abhorrent, although still not the most screwed up (morally speaking) as some other similar films (see War Room, and basically any movie put out by Pure Flix). At this point, I'm about as open minded toward religious propaganda films as they are to anything that doesn't fit their generally screwed up worldview.On t

Its definitely the kind of thing I'd expect Sorbo to star in nowadays, which makes his casting on Supergirl so surprising. The people who made that movie certainly wouldn't look to kindly on a show like Supergirl, although Sorbo seems to pop up in movies and shows that probably don't fit his beliefs from time to time.

I'm not an evangelical or an atheist, but I still watched it (although for free on DVD from the public library, so it didn't make a penny off me). I figured it would be worth seeing just to know exactly how bad those kind of movies get. The answer? Pretty damn bad. I understand why its specific demographic would like it though, which kind of creeps me out to be honest.

Rumor is he's playing Mon-El's dad.

That's not a rumor; it's an assumption based on his most recent comments to Entertainment Weekly during an interview.

All we can say for certain at this juncture with regards to Sorbo's character is that he's a villain, will be married to Teri Hatcher's character, and hails from a planet that was a "rival of Krypton".
 
You know, I was thinking how I'd love to see Cain and Hatcher re-unite in a scene, when I started wondering; Where is Jeremiah Danvers, anyway?! I mean, when last we saw him (unless I'm misremembering things) he was a semi-free prisoner of Cadmus, but ... isn't the Cadmus arc over? Isn't Mommy Luthor behind bars by now? So, whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow of Yesterday?!

She's in prison, but that doesn't mean the arc is over. There's a lot to Cadmus in the comics that the show hasn't even touched on yet. Real Hank Henshaw/"Cyborg Superman" is still at large. I'm sure the Cadmus arc will span the whole season, just as Astra and Non remained the main threat throughout season 1 even though the focus shifted away from them from time to time.
 
It felt kinda over, since we've had three episodes in a row that were not arc-related. But I see next week's episode is titled "Luthors", so I guess it's not finished, after all.

Hmmm, I wonder if they're the people in the masks who are looking for Mon El.

I just want to make one thing clear after this post. I don't have a problem with religious people in general, where people like this lose is the whole thing about how Hollywood is run by Jews and how they won't accept people who "tell the truth" or people who rant about how all atheists are evil and stuff like that.
 
Kevin Sorbo isn't just religious, he comes off at times like he's joinging the ranks of Jerry Doyle, Stephen Baldwin, Jon Voight, etc.
