"… she'd be weakened by sunlight the way Superthings are empowered by it."

You know, this was an amazing episode, with fantastic performances from Tennant and Ritter, thoughtful and wrenching examinations of morality and responsibility, and some pretty huge, shocking moments… but being a massive comic book nerd, I'm just stuck on how awesome it is that they finally revealed that Will Simpson…

My only question-slash-dread regarding Caity Lotz in this show is this: uhhh, isn't she supposed to be in the grips of a serious, unquenchable thirst for blood? They made a whole big thing over on Arrow about how Thea turned into an ultra-aggressive murder machine after only being MOSTLY dead, and since Sara was,…

This is now my favorite comment of all time. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Whoa whoa whoa… so they just pulled a 180 on that whole "Thank you, whoever you are!" fiasco from last week, and now she's figured out that Barry's the Flash in an overnight, off-screen research session?

Right— I realized I probably used the wrong term there after I posted. But interplanetary travel between Mars and Earth is still a pretty big gap to jump for a species that apparently doesn't believe in the need for buildings. Or clothes, for that matter… (Though nigh-invulnerable, shape-shifting Supermen probably…

True. Though I think I could forgive him for missing a race of shapeshifting telepaths; that's pretty much the most perfect kind of infiltrator you could possible have.

Issues? I'll say. Like: if there was a SURVIVING race of telepathic, shape-changing Supermen out there… why does it take them so long to go after Earth?

Anyone else here hoping that season two of Supergirl is a Secret Invasion-esq battle against the White Martians, who've been hiding out on Earth masquerading as humans for years and are building a power base to overthrow humankind?

They couldn't fly on Mars.

I kinda get the impression from this clip that this might be Kevin Smith trying for his own version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Which is… questionable, to put it (EXTREMELY) charitably. But as someone who (*gasp!*) actually LIKES Kevin Smith movies— at least, to an extent— I'm willing to give this a shot.

I 100% agree with you. I consider the extended version of T2 the "real" version of the film… so it always rubs me the wrong way when I see any of the subsequent Terminator films and shows, in which a Terminator can learn to be more human-like just because.

I do. I bought the super-special edition extended cut of the movie on DVD. Three discs, including a four-hour "making of" doc. James Cameron has had a seemingly enchanted relationship with extended cuts— every time I've seen the extended version of a Cameron film, it ends up being better than the theatrical.

I'll give you that… once the groundwork was done, the show started to become a lot more engaging. But spending only thirty minutes to set up a premise as complex as this, AND to establish credible reactions and motivations among an ensemble cast of nine characters, all with their own incredibly complicated backstories…

Said this to another guy, but my POINT was that the material in this episode ALONE should have been spread out over two episodes. Whatever's in "part II" isn't going to improve part I, or change the fact that it is hideously, painfully rushed.

But that's my POINT— the material in THIS HOUR should have been spread out over TWO. It's too condensed— the first thirty minutes are unbelieveably rushed. And it ends on a logical conclusion point for a pilot, so I don't even see what this second hour is going to have in it that MAKES it a "part II", and not just a…

I'm sad to say that this is the first DC TV pilot that just didn't hook me.

I want this movie to be good so goddamn badly. Warner Bros. needs to manage to eek out just one— ONE— critically-and-financially successful DC film that has nothing to do with Batman.

Also, since the villain of the movie is almost certainly going to be Ares, the God of War, then making the war she confronts (a.) the first planetary-scale war ever, and (b.) a morally unjustafiable clusterfuck of pointless death, makes perfect sense.

THANK you! I was hoping I wasn't the only one!
