'Out Of Gas'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Supergirl
Ha, yeah, the tech stuff was kind of a mess for the reasons you said, but whatever, because this show is great and Melissa Benoist is fantastic and CAT FUCKING GRANT figured shit out and there is lots of flying around and shooting lasers and superpeople fight without destroying half the city and Supergirl actually bothers to save civilians and I want a new episode next week.
I also don't understand how a company as big as CatCo survives with a single IT guy.
I will say I did appreciate the moment last week when Cat has Winn doing her camera setup and he grumbles about not having to do something like that since high school AV Club. It was 1) a nice acknowledgment that all tech isn't the same skill set 2) very true to life that executives assume anything with a power cord is an "IT thing."
I did enjoy the episode overall, the email thing just bugged me because it was all made far more difficult than it needed to be (not that sorting through that many emails electronically would be easy, either.) Also, as a professional IT guy, if I needed something off an employee's computer and couldn't access it remotely for whatever reason, I would simply contact them (or, in the case of someone at Dirk's level, their admin) a schedule a time to do "maintenance" on their PC. (Please note, I have never actually pulled any data off an employee's computer without express instruction from my superiors.)

Yes, all of this! I really think CF is perfect on this show.
I do like that they're giving Astra a little more depth.
Astra is interesting. I am braced for Cat to get her memory wiped or something, but I hope not - what she does now could be a good story.
It will be interesting to see how Cat and Kara's relationship changes now that she knows. On one hand, I can see her being "I'm paying you to be my assistant, I don't care what you do in your off time, when you're in the office it's my time." but on the other she'll probably be more understanding when Kara has to suddenly run off to save the world.
If Kara were smart, she'd renegotiate her salary, given how many newspapers she sells. (And also now that she knows how much Cat makes).
I'm so far behind in everything ... sigh ....
Limitless is really getting into the change-of-pace eps.
I wonder if Boyle will give that to his elderly mom?
I also wonder if at some point Brian isn't going to need as much NZT.
All of that synapse stimulation could eventually re-wire his brain.
