Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1

The hymen often breaks due to athletic activity anyway. The rest of Kara is superstrong as well, so we could just chalk this up to a few messed-up landings or a morning of super-Yoga.
 
The hymen also often never breaks, even after 40 years of constant sex.

It's pairing apart Kara's steel labia without a crowbar that is the problem.

Earth's yellow sun is not going to make her natural lubricants change their chemical composition to become more slippery relative to the snapping guillotine living between her hips, in fact if Supergirl's cyprine was to become superdense during kryptonization, it'll end up being more like cement than lubricant, which means that if a human penis were to magically get inside her, It'd be stuck there intractably, and the rest of maybe Jimmy would have to follow her around, like how the excess umbilical cord rots off a baby during the first couple weeks of life, so logically from a medical point of view, this errant skin flute would have to be cut out from inside of her with the jaws of life for that boy to walk away at all, ever... Her cooch is like flypaper for penae.

Do you think she can knock a barn down with a super queef?

I find the current conversation most disturbing.

But i suppose it was inevitable that it would go there eventually.
 
I guess it's only okay to have weird discussion about Superman's sexual difficulties, which is an oddly common occurrence?
 
The article in question is referring to another article:
http://deadline.com/2016/03/les-moonves-cbs-plans-renew-new-shows-1201716171/

And the actual direct quote from Les Moonves is:
“We have about five new shows on this year,” he says. “Of those five, I believe all five of them will be renewed, and we own four of them.”

Deadline went on to elaborate:
We have reached out to CBS for clarification: The network introduced five freshman series so far this season — Limitless, Code Black, Life in Pieces, Supergirl and Angel from Hell. Three of them — Limitless, Code Black and Angel from Hell — are owned by CBS. Angel from Hell, has been canceled. Two other shows are debuting this spring — Rush Hour and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. CBS owns Criminal Minds.

While it's very likely gonna get renewed, lets wait until it's officially official.
 
I know it hasn't been doing the same numbers the pilot got on a regular basis, but everything I've read makes it still seem like a renewal is likely.

Nobody at CBS ever expected it to do as well as the pilot on a regular basis, because the pilot's numbers were completely through the roof. What matters is what the ratings looked like over the rest of the season, and they've held fairly steady.
 
As a sidebar, I keep wondering when the idea of Jimmy Olsen as a photographer came along. When he was introduced on radio, and then when he was added to the comics, he was a copyboy (an entry-level employee who ran copy from reporters' desks down to the presses and served as a general errand boy/gofer), and he eventually became a cub reporter. Over the years in the comics, he went on to become quite an intrepid reporter in his own right, and he was a cub reporter in the George Reeves TV series. I think, but I'm not sure, that the first depiction of Jimmy as a photographer was in the 1948/50 movie serials with Kirk Alyn; at least, I've found one or two photos online of Tommy Bond's Jimmy holding a camera. (Bond, incidentally, is the only live-action Jimmy Olsen who's actually shared the comics character's red hair, which is a bit ironic since the serials were in black and white.) But I kinda think it was the Christopher Reeve movies that really solidified the idea of Jimmy as a photographer in people's minds.

You might be right about the general public...but in the 70's (1971) Clark was a news anchor on TV - WGBS (Galaxy Broadcasting)...so the comics well getting into the modern age of media.

At that time, the "cub reporter" was fading away into obscurity, but visual media was taking off. So maybe then?

James is 35.

No one allowing themselves to be called Supergirl would be over 20.

How do we know Jimmy is 35? Superman is about 36 (24 years of Kara in the Phantom Zone, 12 growing up). Jimmy was some kind of intern, I would imagine, when he first met Superman...I would say as early as 16 , as old as maybe 21... Clark should be a few years older , in any case.. I kinda doubt he joined the Planet along with Clark... Lois had some experience, but I don't think was Margot Kidder old when Clark got started.

I am personally placing James at about 28 or so

But by that point, Jimmy had been a well-established reporter in his own right for decades' worth of comics. Heck, he had his own self-titled series for 20 years starting in 1954. By the WGBS era, Jimmy had become an on-air star reporter known for his intrepid man-of-action style. Here's how Elliot S! Maggin put it in Superman: Last Son of Krypton, his classic novel set during the WGBS era:

Jimmy Olsen found himself orphaned and alone at sixteen, supporting himself as a copy boy for the Daily Planet. By eighteen a series of freelance news stories written on speculation earned him the position of "cub reporter." By twenty-one Perry White, the paper's editor, had made him a full member of the Planet staff. Beside being an electronic journalist, now he wrote a feature column for the Planet Newspaper Syndicate three times a week. Somewhere along the line Jimmy picked up a high school diploma from the back of a matchbook, led a South American safari to locate his father who had been sitting in the jungle for years with a form of amnesia induced by malaria, learned to operate every newsgathering gadget from the typewriter to the WGBS-TV newsvan, entered the Guinness Book of Records for being thought killed in the line of duty more times than anyone else in any profession, became world famous, and convinced himself his life was headed absolutely nowhere.

So, no, the photographer thing didn't come from the '70s comics.

Okay, this is confusing... This page claims that Jimmy became a photographer in the comics in the '50s to reflect the visual orientation of the TV series (whose popularity had prompted the comics to reintroduce the Jimmy character after rarely using him in the Golden Age, and then to give him his own series). But this page of covers for Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen doesn't give any evidence that he was portrayed as a photographer there -- the cover illustrations and text consistently portray him as a reporter, and there are hardly any covers where he's holding a camera.
 
Oh? If there are no public toilets for human women, do human women even need to pee?
