Supergirl (TV Series)


Recommended Posts

Sometimes they make good choices. Laurence Fishburne for one as Perry White. Now he's a great actor. But doing it just for the sake of diversity is ridiculous. It's the social justice mentality through and through.


You make an all white / all hetero cast today you'll have 50 nut jobs protesting very loudly before the first episode has aired.

Ugh.. This show man...I just can't put my finger on it... Maybe I need a giant button titled "cringe" so when I press it I won't need to cringe as much while viewing this horrible gob***** of a cheesefest.

The CGI is poor, the acting is poor, the characters chosen for example, Jimmy is outright laughable, I'm not talking about his skin colour here.. jimmy is supposed to be dorky, fun type of guy.. And yet they give us a supermodel z grade actor who looks as stiff as an erected board.. Sure he is built well but When you think Jimmy Olsen and he's from an African American decent with a dorky fun shtick, I instantly thought of Donald Glover.

The airbrushed makeup on most of the actors is overthe****ingly done.

The action scenes are also bad and the super speed is over used.

There is nothing Super about this show.

I'm not even sure it will make it to season 2

The episode 2 trailer already feels methodical. I'll probably watch the next few episodes, but I'm not feeling optimistic.

Actually, let me tell you how this show is going to pan out: It will suck for the first season, the second season will have some high highs and more low lows, and a strong dose of mediocracy. The 3rd season will be when the show starts to find its stride, but by that point the ratings will have suffered too much and the show will get canceled. The 3rd season will end in a cliffhanger, and never concluded.

The alternative is that Supergirl has some hook not yet reveled in the pilot episode that makes me reconsider my opinion and the show lasts 7+ seasons. That'd be cool, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I really had high hopes for this show since its by the same people that do the Flash and Arrow. I'm thinking CBS may have something to do with the way the story is told, because these guys do great with their shows on CW

Well here's the problem that I see:

The acting on the part of some of the show's actors is terrible. Some of them act like they don't want to be there. The show seems to be directed towards young teens and kids and that's a mistake. They need to balance it. Make it a bit more serious and dark like Agents of Shield is. The whole Jimmy Olsen I'm-in-love-with-supergirl BS has got to stop. The love triangle crap needs to go away. This ain't Days of Our Lives. People want to see action and Supergirl, not two idiots fighting over her love and acting stupid. I saw the second episode last night online and I was less than thrilled with it. The most interesting part of the episode was the government dude when his eyes turned red. Wasn't expecting that one. Other than that, the episode sucked.

My 2 cents: I waited until Flash was on Netflix to binge watch it. So, I watch Supergirl and Flash within 24 hours of each other. Supergirl began with a weak Krypton origin scene, The rest of the episode was just okay, not compelling enough to want to make me want to see more ASAP. It did have some humor and good effects. Flash, on the other hand, had an excellent background story in the pilot and was strong through the whole episode, with excellent effects and humor in the right places. I'll try Supergirl again when I can see it commercial free (I don't use a DVR, yet) as commercials ruin any action show simply by removing the story and putting you into five minutes of stupid distractions. 

I do like the casting of a former Superman (Smallville) and the original Supergirl (1984 movie)as her parents in the new show. I also like that Barry Allen's dad was the original Flash (1990 TV series). Very cool to see this.

I really had high hopes for this show since its by the same people that do the Flash and Arrow. I'm thinking CBS may have something to do with the way the story is told, because these guys do great with their shows on CW

 

News flash: the percentage of drop from it's prmiere, considering its time change and loss of the BBT lead in, is considered below average. It's also tied for #1 scripted with Blindspot for the night.

We won't know for a few weeks.

I predict they will ax it sooner than later:

Now...Don't get me wrong...I would love for this show to be successful. I kinda like the chic. She's cute and she's not doing a bad job, but this show should be in Syndication not CBS. It has a better chance to make it on the Sci-Fi channel or USA Network than it does on CBS. If it gets cancelled (which looks inevitable the way the ratings are going), I hope Sci-Fi, CW or USA grabs it.

I saw the 3rd episode to Supergirl and I have to say that this episode was far better than the pilot episode that came out. The biggest problem I found with the pilot episode is it felt way to rushed. I feel that episode could of easily been a 2 part series, instead it was all crammed up into one episode. I felt that the third episode was a lot better, it didn't feel no where near as rushed as the pilot and the action sequences were simply fantastic considering this was a TV budget show. In addition the end of the third episode had me wanting more. Great overall episode and I hope to see it continue this trend later on. If anyone only seen the Pilot episode I strongly recommend watching the 2nd and 3rd episodes as its in my opinion much better than the Pilot.

The stupid love triangle drama between the stupid Jimmy Olsen and the other idiot is really getting on my nerves. It's really unnecessary. The guy playing Jimmy Olsen needs acting classes. The other guy is just plain boring and is not far from winning a lousy actor award either. They really need to make some changes to this show if they want it to succeed and they need to make them soon before its too late.

It's a shame that it's not doing so well because, for a TV show with a limited budget, the special effects are great. I really hope they find some way to make it work.

We'll see, but I don't even pay attention to the live showing ratings anymorec because of DVR's and streaming. 

true but remember, CBS doesn't care about how many people watch the show on their website (streaming). All they care about is Live viewing. If not enough people are watching it when they air the episodes, they will tank it, no matter how many people watch it online.

 

the Supergirl Pilot cost CBS $14 million


Is that high these days? I remember the Star Trek Voyager pilot costing 6 million and that was 20 years ago. At the time I think Babylon 5 creator/EP said he could produce 1.5 seasons for the same amount.

On the subject of money they need to pump more into FX, when she flew out and around the buildings at the end of the episode it looked horribly unrealistic.

The visual effects are not bad for a TV show. Hell, they are way better than the 90s Superman with Dean Cane, but I think more than anything, they need to change the way the story line is going. The stupid love triangle needs to go. The guy playing Jimmy Olsen sucks. The other idiotic guy "in love" with her needs to get acting lessons and stop being so stupid. The show needs to be a bit more dark and serious like Agents of Shield, otherwise it will fail. The way it's going, I don't even think a Superman cameo by Henry Cavill will save it from cancellation. They need to act and they need to act quick before CBS pulls the plug.

I somewhat agree with you. While the 3rd episode did pick up the pace from the slow 2nd one, I have a feeling now that Kara is out to prove herself and stand alone, I reckon she may just do that. If the show makes it to a season ender, lets hope Henry Cavill (if he actually makes a appearance) would be great as a season ender where Supergirl has to save her cousin in some way. What she needs is a villian that is a friend of hers, then turns and comes back next season, like that guy who is in love with her. Think Ford in Agents of Shield. 

Once a proper storyline or plot has been established I think Supergirl would be great, much like Arrow, Flash and even Gotham. 

true but remember, CBS doesn't care about how many people watch the show on their website (streaming). All they care about is Live viewing. If not enough people are watching it when they air the episodes, they will tank it, no matter how many people watch it online.

 

Not so as paradigms are changing and lines are blurring.  Their streaming service has ads as well, sometimes more, and they get paid for them. Ditto "regular" HULU unless you pay exra to remove them. As such, those live + numbers matter to the bottom line.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day.

Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
