    I enjoyed it, a few good moments in it. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. I managed to watch Smallville from start to finish and that was pretty terrible in places. Hopefully they can avoid that with this.

    I really, really enjoyed that. They need to ditch Winn, or rewrite him immediately because he had two lines that were just plain awful - thinking she was a Lesbian and that's why she didn't want to go out with him, and the one about her looking much prettier without glasses. Get rid of those lines and he'd be okay as a character,
    it almost like he was the gay friend

    Not a bad start, hopefully it improves over the length of the series, she is a likeable and good looking supergirl.

    Funny because when he was on Smash, he also played the straight guy who everyone initally thought was the gay one.
    He's been on broadway a bit and is an excellent singer so that's his personality I think, not overtly straight/camp

    I've just realised that he's got the same name as supervillain The Toyman. Maybe they're re-inventing him as an extra angry MRA?

    Watched it a few weeks back and found it pretty poor. It looked cheap and the writing was dreadful some of the dialogue and characters felt like they belonged in a mid 90s day time soap. Not sure I'll bother with this as there's so much great stuff on that even the presence of Dean Cain can't entice me

    cast interview with tvline, im actually really looking forward to this show, the pilot was much better than i expected, im really hoping it doesnt take a nose dive after the pilot, id say its expensive to make so it would really wanna hit the ground running, as it could be a show that could get cancelled early if it struggles



    and the panel from comic con

    Really quite enjoyed that. It's trending #2 on twitter, worldwide, at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,093 ✭✭✭OU812


    Is this the same one that was on a couple of months ago


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    how can she afford that apartment?

    Wasn't quite sure but was she sharing the apartment with her sister?

    Thought it was fun, though all the "girl power" stuff was quite cringeworthy. Reminded me of the Saturday night live Black Widow sketch:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Wasnt a bad start at all. Definitely gonna be a show that takes a little while to find its tone properly so I'll be sticking with it for now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    I'm not sure it says much about girl power or empowerment. It seems that unlike most Superman stories that she will be working for this military organisation- she was basically being bossed around and given out too by the officer and her sister. Superman, in the films or Smallville tv show, tended to work outside the government or with the military or in certain cases, but definitely not for them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,505 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    anything different from the earlier version?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,141 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    I must not be in the target demographic, since I'd had enough after the plane. I thought it was an exercise in "box-ticking", even throwing in some signposted "diversity". I'n in favour of diversity, but it should emerge organically, not feel as forced as this. :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

    What do you mean by diversity? Certainly they overplayed a lot of the key themes, but that's exactly what happens in most pilot episodes, especially Arrow and The Flash.
