I'm (reportedly) sort of in between on it. The was some good stuff. I like Kara and Olsen, but Cat Grant is a cartoon and the other guy seems kind of useless. I'm with Jon on the longer term story. There's been a bunch of superpowered villains on Earth for the last 15 years, and Superman has neither noticed nor taken care of them? I don't buy it.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's a pilot, so it was very expositiony, and the characters aren't really fleshed out. They did a good job with Kara. The SFX are an upgrade over what they have on the CW. I really loved the truck crash.
I rolled my eyes at the premise, too. It does, however, just scream out for an appearance by Lobo. Which I don't know if they're going to do or not, but it would be FANTASTIC.

Yes, I meant to mention that about the effects. Really good.

Agreed on the effects, and I did like Jimmy. Otherwise, bleh.

I haven't watched anything but the trailer, but I love the actor who plays Jimmy. Question, were they calling him James and Jamie in the pilot, or was I just hearing it wrong? I was wondering if they didn't have the rights to use the name Jimmy Olsen?

Only his mom and the big guy call him Jimmy.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Not that I would *ahem* but...
One thing about the Supergirl Pilot is Why do they keep writing out Argo City ?

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Maybe they thought that would be too complicated.
