That was my point.
Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I was thinking of Faora from Smallville and the comics.
She is Zod's Wife and ridiculously the mother of Doomsday.
(Bad Smallville! Bad!)
Faora barely registered on Man of Steel.
Hell, Man of Steel barely registered because it was so fucking dim and dull.
If I may pretend it's still the 80s...
In the Donner movies, I suspect, Zod spends all day with Ursa building up a hard on, and then rather than creating an inappropriately workplace relationship, he goes home to #### his wife, trying superhumanly very hard not to call her Ursa when he comes.
In the Man of Steel universe, there is no sex between Kryptonians?
Or at least there isn't supposed to be.
Jor-El is a weirdo deviant pervert.
Okay, so a magic rock that is really a computer, is a baby list of clones for the next million million years? So even though machines are churning out these babies, the genetic donors are still expected to live together and raise the children which machines made for them in a factory?
Still less skuzzy than picking up a rando in a bar.

When women's issues are such a hot topic, it doesn't look very good to have a presidential candidate making comments like that, especially when it really has nothing to do with the question.Geez a Loo! Who cares!?!?
ETA: The premise of that story, not your post Mr Guy.
I really wouldn't mind seeing Jeb trying to pull that?
(Court Melissa, or woo Melissa.)
They're both adults.
It's inappropriate to use her likeness as soft pornography in his imagination when she is younger than some of his children, but if they were to meet and hit it off and date and get married, and have children that's fine.

A year in the making and we're finally here. Supergirl starts tonight at its odd time.
Yeah, it's weird these days for an hourlong show to start at half past the hour. I can understand CBS's reasoning in using The Big Bang Theory as the lead-in -- it's pretty much the closest thing they have to Supergirl in terms of target audience -- but it's also competing with Gotham, and starting half an hour later could put it at a disadvantage. I hope the offset time slot doesn't hurt it.
I have six tuners, so if I wanted to watch both, it wouldn't be a problem. Then the episodes will be available on Hulu and other streaming services tomorrow.
^Sure, it's increasingly common for people to timeshift their viewing, but there are still plenty of people who watch live. It could still have an impact, even if it's a less critical one than it would've had a decade ago.
It won't be on Hulu. They have a few old CBS shows, but they don't put new CBS shows on Hulu, at least in the US. It will be up on CBS.com and it will be up on the CBS app, but you have to have a paid subscription to their video service to watch new episodes on the app. It really pisses me off to, because CBS is the only TV channel, other than paid cable channels like HBO and Showtime, that makes you pay for a subscription to watch new episodes on their app.
I work until 8:00 tonight, so I'll have to watch it online tomorrow. It's weird that they're showing this on the half hour, I would have expected them to show this first and then do TBBT afterwards. It looks like part of the reason the schedule is kind of screwy tonight is because of a 90 minute Scorpion, but you'd think they would just start that on the hour and fill in the half hour at the end, instead of showing both it and Supergirl on the half hour.
Well Big Bang still manages to pull in gigantic numbers despite going up against Gotham, so I'm sure CBS is hoping a lot of that will carry over to Supergirl. And Gotham also seems to be geared much more toward the comic book crowd than the mainstream one, so I'm not sure there would be a ton of crossover anyway.
I have not heard this complaint before.
"It's too difficult for me to watch tv unless it starts on the hour."
FWP.

I don't think Gotham's makers have any clue what the comic books are like. They're making some bizarre hybrid of Christopher Nolan, Joel Schumacher, and William Dozier Batman. They're using characters from the comics, but not in any way that's really recognizable. Supergirl is from Berlanti, so it's likely to be a lot more comics-faithful.
Airing one episode of BBT in its regular Monday-night timeslot (the last time it airs in said timeslot, BTW) before Supergirl from 7/8 to 7/8:30 does two things: 1) gives them the chance to use BBT as Supergirl's lead-in for one week and 2) accommodates Scorpion's 90-minute premiere without impacting local news broadcasts.
^You're right. Turns out the 8:30 time slot is for this week only, and it'll be at 8:00 from episode 2 onward.
I guess that does make sense. I always forget that lead in audiences can be a big help for this kind of stuff.
EDIT: Revenge's Henry Czerny has been cast as Supergirl's version of Toyman, Winslow Schott Sr., the father of series regular Jeremy Jordan's Winn Schott.
Thought you knew it was a one-time thing.
Anyway, tonight's arrangement makes sense. Stupid Scorpion and their 90-minute episode. Then again, if The Big Bang Theory can help, that's something.
And I hate it when people take down their YouTube clips. Messed up the original post. Oh well. It's served it's purpose anyway.
[Edit] Maybe I spoke too soon. Looks like they gave Scorpion 90 minutes rather than fill the spot with another half-hour comedy. Does this mean they intended for Big Bang Theory to help boost Supergirl?
Well I didn't say it was an accurate or good comic book show.
But I do still think it appeals to a pretty limited male fanboy crowd compared to something like Supergirl which is clearly trying to be much more approachable and mainstream (much like Lois & Clark back in the day).
Jeph Loeb hangs out with the Gotham people.
If the liberties they take disturbed him, they obviously pay him too much to rock the boat.
Hmmm.
Have the Batman comics mentioned a past relationship between Gordon and Leslie?

I was under the impression that Gotham's ratings have steadily been falling and falling. Is that true?
