Spoilers Supergirl - Season 5
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
If Legends once again has a 16-episode season, we're looking at a January to April or May airing schedule, whereas Supergirl will end in May like it usually does, so
if J'onn does go from Supergirl to LoT, the former show will in fact be saying goodbye to him unless they've asked David Harewood to 'pull double duty'.
^Supergirl has full 22-episode seasons, so with the usual holiday hiatus, it'd be less than halfway done by January. Presumably Legends will replace Arrow, whose final season is short.
I never really noticed before, but pretty much all of Alex's storylines have been about her love life. I was trying to think of a non romantic arc that she's had, and I'm coming up blank. With all of the skills that she has, you'd think they could find more for her to do.
Yes--she's the head of the DEO! Imagine if MCU's Nick Fury's storylines concerned his love life, rather than all he was tied to/responsible for in that franchise--it would seem like he's being underused. Chyler Leigh is a strong actress and should have had more "job" storylines to take advantage of her talent.
Oh, I just read that Katie McGrath's contract should expire this year (it seemed her contract lasted 3 years). I really hope that CW will renew it (I really like her - she can act - and her character, Lena Luthor, is interesting) but if producers decided not to renew her contract, Lena's fate could be sealed by her death or her leaving further to events in Crisis... .
That being said, McGrath is very popular among fans and actors of the show and I don't think that Lena's storyline went all the way to the point that there is nothing more to say.

And what about his private detective practice (where he's hardly ever but well)?! I thought that when his problem with Malefic will be over, he would focus on his detective job or just return to the DEO as Director or co-Director because let's be honest - as we all join together to say it -, Alex is more concerned by her relationship with Kelly than with her fonctions of Director of the DEO. So maybe it was time that J'onn runs again the service with the efficiency we knew him...
Martain Manhunter -- TIME Detective.
The DEO used to hunt down Aliens, mostly from Fort Rozz, in secret.
Now that Aliens are common knowledge, that is the business of ICE, the TSA and INS, and not a paramilitary task force with superweapons.
Oh.
ICE.

ICE.
She might be to good to get back. Makes sense someone might want to build a show around her or offer more money. Jason
If random characters are going to swap out with their counterparts during Crisis, maybe permanently, as the worlds merge... What's Cassidy Freeman up to?
The Righteous Gemstones?
Meh.
The Righteous Gemstones?
Meh.
I would love to have Cassidy Freeman in the arrowverse but hopefully not in Supergirl
Well, there was the arc about her wanting to become a parent, but that was sorta linked to her love life I guess. But yeah, wow, it kinda sucks that one of the more balanced character in the show really never had a good arc.
Also, the more I think about how they're treating Lena this season.... I'm really disappointed. Sure, I can see how she's going through a dark place right now. But, really, eugenics? Reprogramming the entire human race? Big bummer.
I think it is art because all artistic expression is art. Pandering comes down to how you express it. If it is subtle it is called comentary. If it is ovious it is called pandering. Granted this gets murky because tv viewers are smarter and experienced tv viewers so we know all the tricks. We also pay attention to behind the scenes stuff we watch and know about the personal politics of the artist so alot of meaning we get out of the shows goes beyond what is in the script. Jason
Most aliens don't have "good" super powers.
They're just rainbow people who look like white people because of million dollar registered image inducers, and they're using forged documents to work and pay taxes.
It's the forged documents.
ICE tracks that.
The Secret Service tracks counterfeit currency.
So those two agencies are rounding up aliens and time travelers all the time by accident, and then passing off those cases to the DEO.
Although, since the Amnesty, all the aliens that signed up for Amnesty (Superman and Supergirl didn't.) are on a path to citizenship, with guaranteed residency and a right to work.
So, those particular aliens are under the normal preview of the police and other simple legal institutions, becuase they are naturalizing.
Yep.
She was not in a "dark place" (this "betrayal" / "everyone lied to me" arc) when she was doing all if the shady things seen over the past couple of seasons, such as her original eugenics argument / experiments to combat superpowered aliens by using Harun-El elements on Adam--who died. Add merging--or seemingly taking over Eve's own individual identity with the Hope A.I.--all to make "better" people, and its clear that unethical, undeniably evil traits are a part of her.
Hope is controlling Lena.
Hope should have asimovs to stop that.
But if she can control Lena without hurting Lena, Hope can order Lena to order Hope to act a few steps out side her limitations.
Also, Hope is clearly an evil version of Brainiac.

Only at first, with Maggie. After that, she was fine with being a single parent.
That's not what the word means -- it's much more insulting than that. The word "pander" originally meant to provide prostitutes, to be a pimp. More generally, it means to cater to people's vices or weaknesses. So when applied to entertainment, it means to cater to vulgar or illegitimate tastes, or to tell a story in an insincere and calculated way that's based solely on feeding the lowest common denominator. To say a work is "pandering" is to say it has no artistic legitimacy at all, no real message, but is just a mercenary exercise in indulging the worst tastes or impulses of a vulgar, immoral audience.
At the very least, if you say a work is "pandering" in its moral or political statements, then you're accusing the creators of not sincerely believing them but just calculatedly giving the target audience what it wants or expects. It's not just saying the message is too blatant, it's saying that the message is dishonest, a self-serving pretense with nothing behind it but a profit motive. And it implicitly devalues the message and the audience it's aimed at.
