Watched the pilot, and it was pretty bad. Her friend makes a 'suit' for her, and she goes after some bankrobbers. She wants right towards them while they fire their machineguns, disarms them and kicks their asses. Returns with a cloak full of bulletholes (the cloak was on her back, and the bullets came from the front. Did someone shoot from the back too?), but of course the rest of her suit doesn't have a scratch on it (omg! you might otherwise see some flesh!). So instead he uses material from some damage resistant material which he happens to have lying around, working at a newspaper.

Why didn't he also use some of his classified military grade materials and knowledge to create a potion for her that totally nullifies the effects of Kryptonite?

The rest was as bad or worse still tbh. (Only Kryptonite can make super* vulnerable, but that axe could hurt her?)

To be fair various stuff can still hurt them to the point where they killed off superman with the use of doomsday but considering the other aliens were strong enough to smack her around who knows.

There was a thread on the IMDB forum for the show where someone said that the only reason anyone would hate this is misogyny. And therefore asked if any women actually hated it, which resulted in nearly all the women responding to say they hated it. It was pretty funny.

Getting tired of being spammed with ads on internet and TV for this show...

Main actress is hot but doesn't look right for Supergirl -- the clips make her seem to teen-y, Valley Girl as well. Laura Vandervoort, now she could kick your ass and look hot at the same time.

looks like most of the show is actually a very typical crush/love/identity-crisis/coming-of-age type writing. It could be any teen show really, its just that for 5 minutes per episode super girl will save somebody.

Lazy writing. How is this kind of show entertaining?

You expected more from a show that CBS took? Even if it originally had potential it was squashed immediately. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a laugh track on it.

Could have potential. Some of the acting seemed really stilted; some of the emotions forced. But that might be because they packed too much into a one-hour pilot.
