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.

Unless this current Flash is fighting non-speedsters... he's screwed. Which in year 2 I'm cool with. I just wish when he gets stronger they're not relying on that "Stupid Pill" gimmick of him forgetting he's that fast.

Any thing not toxic to touch or immortal he should be running up and kicking them in the crotch 1000 times before they know he's doing it.

To be fair: Just about every show with supers has issues with consistent power levels or weakness-by-plot disease (Buffy, stronger than Vampires! Kicks open jail doors! Defeated by a few humans from time to time).
Rejolt Industries LLC is now a thing. Woo!

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

Knowing is half the battle!

long and short - they're casting for Kal-el on Supergirl but looking for 13 year olds. Since that doesn't really make logistical sense I'm guessing the Legion might be involved somehow. Maybe some future threat they need both of them for?

Or perhaps Supergirl goes back in time.
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.

Kind of a waste of T.O. Morrow and Red Tornado. Of course there's always Earth 2's versions.

Has General Lane always been such a thickheaded General Ross-like jerk?

He's a comic book general - they're often like that :P

I'm trying hard to think of a fictional general in any media I've come across who doesn't have that exact personality. There are varying degrees of incompetence and warmongering and they sometimes have a heart of gold but the thickheadedness strikes me as pretty much universal.

A mini-skirt over tights does?

I see skirts over tights all the time, and not just in winter (but that was an easy google search for it).

I'm not that familiar with the other two, but I'm pretty sure Red Tornado didn't start out as a good guy in the comics, so I thought the way they introduced him fit well enough.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Red Tornado definitely didn't start out as a hero.  He started out much like in the episode.  Doctor T. O. Morrow programmed him to defeat the JSA (succeeded) and later the JLA (failed).  Now this was back in the 70s (I think) so it was a whole lot cornier involving elemental spirits possessing the android and that sort of thing.  But it was still the same in that the android was created by Morrow to defeat superheroes.

Vartox and Jemm were both heroes (lame heroes) but Jemm did turn villain for a while after being brainwashed so that's still a possibility.  I was hugely disappointed in Vartox too because he didn't wear his normal costume (seriously, look it up).  Actually the SG version was probably just a guy with the same name because the Superman Vartox never used an axe.

Spoiler for Hidden:
it was late '60s but was convoluted enough to match just about anything from later eras, as was the explanation for the black canary's age around the same time. the former was way less creepy despite RT's originally being given the false memory of being the golden age RT who was a large woman with a pot on her head who cooked for the JSA.

I liked last night's episode quite a bit.

I thought the series got off to a so-so start, but it's improving. I just wished they'd pace things out better. The early plot-line involving the aunt feels premature to me; more like it should be a late season development leading to a cliff-hanger finale.

Maybe they felt rushed to get a lot into a half-season due to being unsure whether they'd get to make more or not.

I think that's it.  They knew they had a certain number of episodes available to tell a story.  (No one wants to be Firefly.)  Now that they have more episodes to work with, they can pace themselves a bit more.
