Having just finally finished my slog through the god-awful late 80s-early 90s Giffen/DeMatteis run of Justice League, seeing Maxwell Lord made me shudder.

Just saw the 2nd episode and man are some of those one-on-one pep talks cringe worthy.

I'll try a few more episodes but I'm lukewarm on it.

So I'd seen somebody referring to this in a comment on Supergirl:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5KgpN38hM

And I watched that with my wife a few weeks ago and we had a laugh.

Then, watching Supergirl last night, when the newscasters are talking about her being a screw-up, my wife turns to me and says "I'd hate to be HER boyfriend!"  -- Ouch.

Did I just witness a DBZ style beam clash with heat vision?
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Gimme a break.  Comics have had beam clashes long before DBZ was a twinkle in anyone's eye.

Maybe.  Can't say I recall ever seeing it, particularly in western comics before the late 80s/early 90s.  But it's not that part that bugged me.  Never mind that the bizarre blue-white heat vision looked exactly like tiny Kamehamehas...  It seemed odd because it's bloody heat vision.  If, say, Iron Man's repulsor blast or Cyclops' optic blast was involved I wouldn't bat an eye.

i think they figured since heated metal will turn blue and white at higher temperatures then so would heat rays. no, it doesn't make sense but then again i'm not entirely sure it makes sense for them to be red either.

no skirt with those tights would be something, but might be a bit risque for cbs.

But it's needed.  She's a fledgling super hero who doesn't understand her limitations yet.  I think Cat's pep talk made a lot of sense.  Just as much as I think her being smacked down by her sister was necessary as well.

And it looks like they are going to handle the Superman issue next week.

Now what I'm missing is more stunt casting with her adopted family.  Maybe that will be a "holiday" episode. ;)

He's not even appearing on screen, but I already like this version of Superman over the one in Man of Steel.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Jimmy's signal watch was cool.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I liked the chat between the two of them at the end. I just wish we could have an actor to play Clark on the show as I disliked the idea that he dropped Kara off with the Danvers like an abandoned kitten.

I see they're going to be going with the tried and true Flash formula and having Kara forget she has superspeed to make the fights more interesting.

I guess most shows that need to have the drama built up have one or more of their characters carrying the Idiot Ball(tm) for longer or shorter periods, up to and including always. I know that's why writers do it, but it really makes me wonder how much of the viewing audience doesn't mind/care, and how much of them/us hates this convention. Case in point: characters not sharing information where common sense would seem to indicate it's vital information that everyone else should know right away. It makes the bearer of that information act not at all like a sensible human being in that particular regard, and is quite irritating. But, like the road rage I ditched long ago, this is one of those things that apparently is never going to go away or get better, so I'm (still) learning to shrug my shoulders and try to move past it.

(looks at what's been written so far) Judging by the size of my rant, I'd guess it's still somewhat of a problem that detracts at least a little from my enjoyment of many TV shows.

So to stop a livewire from sparking you pick it up and bend it.
