Perd Hapley on Supergirl!
Yes, I'm catching up on TV.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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.

In case you didn't know Supergirl was evil, she's wearing the tight clothes, using lots of makeup, and using all kinds of hair products.
Just once, can we have an episode where someone turns evil and eschews wearing makeup? "Fuck these high heels, they're uncomfortable and stupid."

But but but looking like you want to look sexy is EVIL, Dana! Even I know that! (Of course, Nice women spend lots of time putting on makeup that doesn't look like they're wearing it.)

See, I can get behind evil makeovers like Madalena on Galavant where you're suddenly wearing black silk gowns with spiky jewelry and violet eyeshadow or dragon-themed armor. It's the Sandy from Grease transformation that's problematic.

I don't mind the story, and I like the way it has repercussions in the rest of the season. Just...tight black clothes? Really?
The Flash crossover was nineteen kinds of fun.

YES. Why doesn't the transformation go more like:
Superheroine: Due to the pressures of a society that demands she look fuckable (but not too fuckable) at all times, defends the world against evil wearing makeup, high heels, and clothing generally unsuitable for combat.
SuperheroineTurnedEvil: No longer gives a shit about what society demands (because, evil), wreaks havoc in the same pair of yoga pants she's been wearing for three days, a pair of lightweight cross-trainers, and a fanny pack.

You know that she's dead, right?

Do you subscribe to the Danny-didn't-save-her-from-drowning theory or the committed-suicide-after-singing-goodbye-to-Sandra-Dee theory?

I'd never heard the whole Sandy being dead thing, or if I had it didn't stick in my memory. I am one of the few that hasn't seen Grease although plenty of bit and pieces here and there.
