Supergirl

Ah that's good then.

while I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the episode that's being referred to in those two posts yet, I will say I'm down with Supergirl being political when they're not being really corny about it. Like, having Mon-El's mom say a "make _____ great again" line in one of the last episodes last season was extremely corny and thuddingly obvious where the earlier episodes in season two using aliens as a surrogate for the immigration debate in America was really good.

as for the two episodes from this season I've watched, the main takeaway is that Melissa Benoist is the best of the CW superhero leads by a mile (I don't think Legends really has a lead per se, but if you consider it to be Sara Lance then Caity Lotz is a very respectable second place). The way she's played Kara's mental state in the wake of the season 2 finale has been exceptional.

The Arrowverse does not deserve the talent that is Melissa Benoist. 

[GoGo Yubari]

It's a step up from Glee, at least.

[Benjamin]

I'm so annoyed that she's so good and yet for some reason she only lands really shitty roles in either bland or shitty movies. She just seems like a blast of a human being and I want more for her.

[GoGo Yubari]

yeah, she had to cancel on a comic con here in Seattle last year because she got a part in a movie and I was bummed out but happy for her at the same time, because hey, maybe the movie's good!

And then the movie was probably Lowriders.

Goddamn, this week's episode.

Stupid autocorrect, thanks!

If anyone watched this week's Flash, the actress who played the villain is who John Byrne, who created Maggie Sawayer, had in mind to play a live action version.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, and it's obvious why, she's white, blonde and gorgeous, she's basically every comic book writer's wet dream.

[Lint]

Katee Sackhoff?  Oh gods yea.  I've said for awhile now if they ever wanted to do the "Lady Thor" storyline in the MCU, she should be cast as the lead.  She's beautiful, she's pretty well built, and she's a great actress

I have seen it now, and that was peak Supergirl being political and not being corny about it.

I like the satirical political edge the show has, seems appropriate for a character that's about 'Truth, Justice and the American Way...'

Not much in here about the most recent episode:

We had a reference to Clark's friend 'Chloe' and the episode, while being a bit of a 'bottle' episode, was reminiscent of the old SuperBoy TV show I thought.

Was a nice 'Smallville' reference anyway (guess that 'universe' could always be part of the DC Multiverse).

 

[Lint]

They probably wish they could'v changed that reference.  Few days before that episode aired, it came out the actress who played Chloe, Allison Mack, is part of a sex slavery cult

Oh God I am totally shipping LanVers

Jesus, I just checked out what you were on about. That sounds mental. Apparently Kristin Kreuk (Lana) was/is also part of it :/

[GhostMachine]

Was that sex cult ever actually confirmed, or just a rumor, though?

 

[Benji]

It's a creepy cult where they brand women, and her association with it seems pretty nailed on according to RS. At the very least it seems like she's wilfully complicit, if not actively working for them. She's even described as a second in command.

I just found out Dean Cain endorsed Donald Trump for President so now any time he cameos on a show which has important morals on female empowerment I am going to feel super grossed out
