Supergirl Season 3

[Golden Girl]

IMO, we already knew J'onn was a major prick that only started to soften halfway thru S1.

Well, that's because he was intended to be the real Hank Henshaw in the pilot - they only decided to turn him into Martian Manhunter afterwards.

[Golden Girl]

Given the CW's raging thirst for relationship drama, I wonder if they'll be able to resist the temptation to use Mon-El's time jump to add some shenanigans to his reunion with Kara?

I'm quoting myself as going by the preview clip/photos, they do seem to be going with this angle - as in the 6 months or so of separation that Kara's gone though in the present has been much longer for Mon-El in the future, and he may be in a new relationship.

[Vee]

Wow.  A worthless episode that was a bit like Arrow and Riverdale...

Any slight change of pace from the usual formula is welcome in my book so the nancy drew episode was the least nauseating this season for me.

re the relationship drama - if they had the budget i'm sure the plot would be something like brainy and the legion visit, kara and brainy flirt, kara gets legion ring, kara visits future, kara is woken up in brainy's bed when he gets an alert which turns out to be mon-el's arrival. but given that too much 31st century's probably not in the cgi budget the mon-el relationship angle seems likely.

[Golden Girl]

I think that they might be going more with Mon-El and Saturn Girl as an item/married.

[Tenzhi]

There's just no way I would react to discovering I was nigh invulnerable as if it was something awful and scary...  that is the opposite direction my freak out would go.

[Vee]

But then you'd miss out on your big chance to show off your soap opera acting skills.

[Mandu]

I have always hated the "I just want to be normal" trope.

Power is involuntarily dangerous to others (ie Rogue) or mutates you horribly (Jokers in the Wild Cards series) then yeah, get rid of it.  Otherwise every real person in the world would be happy getting powers.

[Golden Girl]

Sam didn't want to be normal once she found out that she had powers, and she wasn't afraid of having them either - as soon as she found out she told Ruby that "something wonderful is happening", and  followed the pod crystal out into the desert to find out more. She was convinced that she was going to be a hero the same as Supergirl, right up until the Evil Kryptonian Cult Lady did her whole "they-will-call-you-Worldkiller-you-will crush-your-enemies-without-mercy-and-burn-the-world-of-men-your-daughter-was-a-mistake-and-you'll-forget-her" thing, which was the point where Sam started to freak out about having powers.

[Dev7on]

Oh boy, I need a drink. "Hey, bartender give me a shot." -_-

[Tenzhi]

She totally did a there's-something-wrong-with-me-WHY-fake-mom? freak out.  Completely with useless crying.  As it turned out, she might have been better off not freaking out and looking for the "why". 

For some reason, I'm getting a Smallville season of the witch vibe from this Reign nonsense.

[Mandu]

The point is that she did freak out at first.  She yelled at her daughter for suggesting she was strong.  She sent her daughter off and went running to her mom when she discovered she was invulnerable.  She freaked out and hesitated on her trip to the desert. It wasn't until she found out she was from Krypton that she was cool with her powers and that was undoubtedly because the only Kryptonians she knows are Supergirl and Superman.

Molly from Runaways had a much more human action.  Rush home and test the powers at the first chance. Get frustrated because they aren't working. Then get thrilled when they do work.

[eabrace]

Best wedding ever!

I like the feel of this year's crossover.  One story in four chapters is a huge improvement over four stories with a common element.

[Tenzhi]

Having the Greatest American Hero as your priest is pretty cool.  If he returned as Uncle Sam, however, that would be truly awesome.

[Nos482]

So... what do you think are the chances for a Heatwave/Killer Frost romance? ;D

[Golden Girl]

The opening montage of crime-fighting/wedding discussions totally nailed the feeling of huge interlocking superhero community that's at the heart of the DC and Marvel universes.

[MyriVerse]

So far so good. I didn't even mind watching an Arrow ep.

[doc7924]

Now THAT's how you do a crossover story!

Not like the last 30 seconds like the Dominator one.

This would have been a better film than the JLA and its only half over.

Too bad about the priest - should have been wearing his magic jammies.

[eabrace]

The "weapon":  Did not see that one coming.  (Either weapon, actually.)

[saipaman]

This would have been a better film than the JLA and its only half over.

And all four episodes certainly didn't cost $300 million.

[doc7924]

Having the Greatest American Hero as your priest is pretty cool.  If he returned as Uncle Sam, however, that would be truly awesome.

I THOUGHT he looked like some other hero. He would be perfect.

But as said in another poet - should have been wearing the magic longjohns, then he wouldn't have gotten zapped.

Though I think he lasted longer then the part he had in Heroes.
