Supergirl (Season 2 - 2016)

[center]Why Superman Coming to Supergirl Is Exciting for DC TV
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SROd8KAWNqQ
They haven't even started shooting Season 2 yet and they are
already off to a good start. But I wonder if there is a danger
of Superman actually hijacking the series from Supergirl. It
will be fun to get supes onto the show, but there is a serious
risk that once he does come on and then leaves by the 3rd
episode, there will be a fan-base that will deem the rest of
non-Superman episodes a failure. Yes, I'm getting way ahead
here, but there's some validity to that.

[center]CBS DROPS TOM WELLING'S "SECTION 13" PILOT; COULD HE
PLAY SUPERMAN IN "SUPERGIRL" S2?
HTML http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/cbs-cans-tom-wellings-section-13-pilot-could-he-play-superman-in-supergirl-s2-2016
Ever since the announcement that Superman will appear on
Supergirl, there has been many to speculate who would take the
role. Tom Welling's name has been near the top for most and with
the news that his his new series was getting passed over, this
is only going to make people assume he is the first choice more
so now.

[center]Superman isn't even on Supergirl yet, and he's already a
total letdown

I have to agree. I've never liked the casting choice of Tyler
Hoechlin as Superman and with the debut image of him in the
Superman costume, my concerns has been justified. He looks
f*cking ridiculous. There is nothing there that screams he is
the Man of Steel. He looks like a gawky, geeky cosplay fan,
pretending to be Superman. What a horrible choice. Melissa as
Supergirl looks like she could kick his ass standing side by
side. I'm hoping that the theory that this is nothing more than
a Photoshoped image proves to be true so that I can give him
another chance to prove he is in fact the right choice.

I suspected that with the announcement that Superman would be a
living character within the Supergirl universe and more
precisely in the first two episodes of Season 2, there was a
chance that he would dominate the proceedings and sure enough,
Superman/Clark Kent basically rendered Supergirl/Kara almost as
a 'guest star' on her own series. I found the Superman
story-line to be the biggest draw as well as its biggest hurdle
moving forward. Since so much has been dumped on the Man of
Steel, what's going to happen when he leaves and the rest of the
cast is tasked to carry the show? We all know they can succeed,
but I think once he leaves, there will be a big gaping hole and
that means everyone: cast and writers, better up their game to
offset Superman leaving. With that said, this episode was pretty
good. I like that they are already expanding some of the back
story to include Lex Luthor (who is never seen and in prison) as
well as Lena Luthor...his sister, who looks to be groomed to be
the series Big Bad. One last thing, I liked what Tyler Hoechlin
brings as Superman, but I hate what they did with his costume. I
can't stand in how they attach Superman's cape. What the f*ck is
up with that? Supergirl's costume has the traditional
attachment, but they do something completely different with
Superman for the sake of being different. It looks stupid. FYI,
the Special FX looked great and I'm surprised at how good it
looks given that their budget was cut in the move to the CW.
They may have blown most of their money in Episode 1.

The 4-Night Crossover Event starts tonight on Supergirl,
continues tomorrow on The Flash, on Wednesday it picks up on The
Arrow and concludes on Thursday Night on Legends of Tomorrow.
I'm excited for this. This is what I have been waiting for since
news that Supergirl was moving from CBS to the CW. With that
said, I will be waiting for all the episodes to air this week
and then binge watch them on Saturday Night. I want to watch it
all in one day instead of one week.

I made a mistake in saying last week was the start of the Big
Event Crossover. Nope....it starts tonight. D'oh!

Part 1 of the 4 Night Event pits Supergirl against Cyborg
Superman, as brief as it is. This wasn't the main crux of the
story-line. It was more about Lillian Luthor and Lena Luthor
building and weaponizing a missile that can target alien
lifeforms and terminating them. Everything that happens he was
very predictable in how it would play out. I knew that Lena
would betray her mother and be the 'good guy' in the scenario.
The other half of the episode is setting up a romance for
Kara/Supergirl. I don't mind this, I just think they are taking
the wrong tone in making her a love sick puppy that is pining
after Mon-El. Even though there were some big hiccups with this
episode, I was still entertained by what we got. As for the Team
Up I have been waiting for, it's only alluded to in the final
scene when Barry and Cisco teleport from their dimension into
parallel universe Earth and asking Kara for her help.
One other thing I gotta mention and it has nothing to do with
this episode. I forgot to review it, but I really dug seeing
Lynda Carter back in Episode 3 as The President. There were a
couple of very well-timed inside jokes alluding to her role as
Wonder Woman (her Jet and her spinning in place ability to
change from civilian to WW). I want to see more of her. She
still looks amazing.

Solid Season Finale with Supergirl, Superman and what seems like
every other alien race that has appeared on the series so far
coming out to take on Rhea and her soldiers. I like that they
cast Teri Hatcher in the role. She looks to really be having fun
with this character. It just sucks that they killed her off
before they were able to work in a scene with Dean Cain. How or
why they would share a scene is irrelevant. Just wanted to see
it happen. I dug the fight scene between Supergirl and Superman,
but I'm not buying it that she would beat him with an uppercut.
I have no idea who the baby was that was sent to Earth 35 years
ago in the Epilogue of the episode. Very curious who it turns
out to be. Gotta wait for Season 3 for that to happen though.

Posting here instead of starting a new thread just to talk about
one episode....the Season Finale. Overall, I thought Season 3
was good. Could have been better, but it wasn't as bad as it
could have been. The main storyline running throughout the
season was that of Reign, a foe equal to that of Supergirl,
hellbent on teraforming Earth and creating a New Krypton. Reign
played to perfection by Odette Annable, who I haven't seen in
anything long term since the short-lived Breaking In, was a nice
surprise. But it's the Finale that I want to talk about. The
ending....WTF! Seriously don't know what is happening, but to me
it seems that the writers are basically setting up an alternate
and perhaps Evil Supergirl/Kara given the events earlier where
she needed the help of the Black Rock to defeat Reign. It's a
cliffhanger....just one that really wants to keep you guessing
one way or another in what they plan to do moving forward. As
for the whole of the Finale, it felt very rushed. I literlly
thought I miss huge chunks of the story because of the big jumps
from one scene to the next. Also, not sure I like that they
split up the core group at the end. Mon El and Winn head off to
the Future and J'onn retires from the DEO. It looked and felt
like it was finite. But that could be the intended goal here.
Split everyone up and have a major threat (Evil Supergirl) as
the reason to bring them all back together. Yeah, I'm definitely
coming back for Season 4.
