Pretty much this.
I suppose some people would want to see Supergirl to suddenly turn invisible or shrink down to atom size, and say that is perfectly acceptable, since this is all fantasy anyway!
Ehh... even fantasy and sci-fi needs to follow its own rules. His point wasn't that it had to adhere to this real world, but have some sort of working universe without throwing random nonsensical new things episode to episode.
Even if the show was consistent with the fantasy universe it would still stink. Bad acting, bad writing, bad costumes. It's targeting tween girls. They aren't looking for consistency.Pretty much this.

But hey, they got the girl from Bitten to make a guest appearance.
So, I've been watching the show, and it's not bad, but one thing is bugging me: Jimmy Olsen is completely useless and unnecessary to the show. It's like they wedged the character in because they were unsure the other characters would stand on their own. I see him getting written out next season truthfully.
Each episode of SuperGirl gets more and more ridiculous. Do they import criminals from other cities ? The Myriad episode had Superman coming to help and he shows up for 2 seconds then is gone to be drone like the rest.
I don't see much hope for this series.
I think the writers assumedwe all have amnesia, and forgot about superman, and how the Martian manhunter was done for.
How the heck did they even let the Martian manhunter break Indigo apart?
Then they have that sorry excuse of "saving" supergirl with the escape pod, since you know that martian manhunter was looking in awe, and couldn't be bothered to do anything else, and Superman? Oh right, let's not forget about his cameo text....
And how did she even activate or even know how to fly the pod, let alone get fuel for it, or even have room for more than 1 person?
Then, let's not forget about the technology left behind at the scene, that the Martian manhunter "forgot" about...
Lastly, seems the budget ran out, lots of those scenes were from before...and the CGI was laughable.
Yeah that was a bunch of horse manure. I hope they don't renew this and it goes to the CW.I think the writers assumedwe all have amnesia, and forgot about superman, and how the Martian manhunter was done for.

I think ironically the weakest part about Supergirl is that, well its based on Supergirl. If this was a Devil Wears Prada/Ugly Betty clone it would be great. The comic book stuff gets in the way. :biggrin: I dont know why they cant get the Supergirl part right when the same group does Arrow and Flash.
I kinda agree, they should have went with Wonder Woman, or go with Super Friends or Justice League.
Their A-List characters are off limits since they want to build the movie universe. Flash just happened to be made before the movies were decided.
Then, since they want to make it that kryptonians can't survive in outer space, then, didn't she just kill all those "sleeping" kryptonians? Fort Rozz was damaged when it crashed landed...and why were the other kryptonians sleeping anyway, instead of taking strategic positions around the globe to fight superman and whomever else?
The space pod save thing made absolutely no effing sense.
they appear to be going off of the john byrne man of steel '80s reboot. in order to get rid of the throw everything into the sun solution to everything, dc let byrne power down supes. so while still solar powered, he still needs oxygen thus no flying into space/deep space (thus retconning away all of the goofy 'cosmic' adventures of the 60's where S interacted with aliens and not humans in order to bypass comics code authority on violence.)Finally got around to watching the episode, and yeah, this was odd. Kryptonians recharge themselves by flying into space and getting a good shot of sunlight. And in pretty much every Superman movie he has been in space. Sometimes in the cartoons they make it that he needs a suit or ship if he's going to be there for awhile, but the whole thing was set up so that she could have her Superman/Christ sacrifice moment. Being saved by the sister using the pod was dumb. If they didn't gimp Superman in the beginning, they could have did the "he saves her but they don't show his face" thing. They make a lot of odd choices in this show. And ending it on the cliffhanger was just lame. They probably won't get a second season unless its on CW.
