>Hostile Takeover
>Astra challenges Kara's beliefs about her mother; a hacker exposes Cat's private -- and damaging -- emails, putting her job at risk.
More Cat is never a bad thing. Hopefully more Astra is a good thing, too. Let's hope the show continues the streak of okay to good-ness it's had lately.
>>78187478
What have you thought of the first season so far?
>>78187563
Rocky start, but since the Livewire episode I've enjoyed it. Sometimes it's too on the nose, I really wish they'd decide whether they want Winn to be sympathetic or a douchebag, and the drama is a little awkward, but I like it.
Also, hype is up since the big reveal last week.
>>78187598
Agreed
I almost gave up this show after the first two episodes. I'm glad I didn't. Kara is adorable as a superhero. And I am digging the Martian Manhunter being added.
TIME FOR SUPER BITCHES
This is my first episode watching, them bringing J'onn in convinced me to five it a shot.
>>78187729
I love that they literally just decided "What the hell, why NOT make him J'onn?"
And we still have the Cyborg Supes potential down the road. Best of both worlds.
I would have thought these threads would have picked up with Gotham being on Winter Break. Where are all the geeks?
>>78187748
>>78187748
>five it a shot
GIVE it a shot, I meant
Why is Supergirl always drunk?
>>78187765
Lots of people just wrote it off
>>78187598
>>78187755
I hope we see more or J'onn, maybe on this episode.
>I really liked that knife!
>>78187776
TOO LATE
>>78187765
I think most of the /co/ watchers gave up on it. I can't entirely blame them, but it really has improved.
New viewer here, Melissa Benoist is fucking adorable as Kara, I like her already.
Is this supposed to be a Hillary Clinton commentary?
>>78187598
Honestly the only thing I haven't enjoyed about the show so far is Red Tornado's lack of a blue vampire cape. Live Wire and Jon Jonz turned me on hard. Shit Jem of Jupiter was cool as fuck.
>>78187838
Yes she is.
You would think that Grant would have actual ice in an ice bucket for the huge amount of drinks she drowns.
>What planet are you from?
>tiny shoulder badge makes them totally invulnerable to Kryptonite
They could rule the world in a day
>>78187843
Seems like it.
>>78187478
God, I love Cat Grant.
"That handsome little Hobbit that has more cardigans than you do."
>>78187867
She has two buckets: one for ice and one for candy.
Because she's rich.
>>78187838
Isn't she? She's like how I would be if I had superpowers. I would so be a superhero. Okay, a very awkward superhero.
>>78187902
It was that "UGH I HOPE TOMORROW IS A SLOW DAY AT WORK" line that sold me.
That's exactly what I'd fucking do.
God Kara's aunt is hot.
Is Winn the Felicity of this superhero show? I want to smack him.
>>78187938
He's the heart of the show.
>>78187478
Love that scene of Kara using max heat vision and yelling.
>>78187949
I want a heart transplant then.
>>78187478
Oh, is that today? Or did I miss it, or what?
>>78187938
There are some episodes, like the Thanksgiving one, where he's sweet and sympathetic. And some like this where he's a raging asshole. If you have to do a love traingle, there are better ways to write one.
>>78187598
If Jon had the blue cape than this would be a 10/10 costume for me.
>Have Kara and Jon hanging out with the Flash and Arrow. mmm
>>78187994
It's on right now, anon.
So, is Aunty evil the? And isn't going to turn out Kara's mom was secretly evil. Because that would be a switch.
>blue panties
>>78187563
Hate it
Glad I watched last week though
Didn't see martian manhunter coming
>>78187478
I love the Kara training sequence.
>Upskirt Chun Li moment.
>Superman doesn't kill
>superman doesn't kill
>Superman doesn't kill!
>>78188022

>>78188034
Have fun hating.
We are getting 9 more episodes and the Flash will be around hanging out with Kara soon.
>>78188069
Based on what I've seen so far, I'm looking forward to that crossover. The two characters would play well off of each other.
How did Kara go from a brunette child to a blonde adult? And don't say bleach. Her hair would laugh that stuff off.
>>78188057
>>78188053
>>78188050
Maybe this happens before Zod shows up.
>Killing space aliens doesn't count
>>78188069
I hate it but like arrow season 3 I'll keep watching for the little things like martian manhunter last week and like you said flash crossing over later and just hoping next season will be better.
Worked out for me and arrow. I'm actually enjoying season 4
Still miss season 2 though. Season 2 of arrow was the shit
>Only because Anderson Cooper dared me to!
Heh.
>>78188110
It's one of the benefits of DC's separate universes policy.
>>78188109
>Yellow sun
>>78188050
Perhaps not on this Earth. But Man of Steel takes place on a different Earth.
>>78188109
She's slowly going super sayian
>Walking personification of White Male Privilege.
Goddammit...
>white male privilege
Pryce was the hacker, wasn't he?
>white male privilege
>>78188136
There are 52 earths after all.
616 and Ultimate are cool for Marvel but Disney seems more into Ultimate so far.
CW and CBS seems full silver age.
DCU will probably be New 52.
eh who cares about cannon anyway
>>78188163
You can say that but this guy is the one who did the hack. It's so obvious.
>>78188163
>>78188169
>>78188177
CatCo is basically Huffington Post, what did you expect?
>>78188177
>>78188169
>>78188163
You do realize this is real?
>>78188184
I wonder which Earth is Gotham.
Lucy a cute
>>78188184
>>78188184
ACtually there's 52 universes within the local multiverse cluster that contains the "main" Earth-0 DCU,
Theoretically the DCU is infinite because it has an infinite number of Multiverses. If the live-action universes don't fall in Multiverse-1, they'll be in a different multiverse altogether.
Would you let Cat Grant check your privilege, /co/?
>>78188200
It does make sense.
>Arianna Huffington is a whore that hates Lois Lane. Eh I'm okay with this.
Also Lucy Lane is turning me the fuck on. I hope she becomes techno Super Woman like the comics.
>>78188257
I thought she was a fossilized mummy, but Calista Flockhart must've bathed in the blood of virgins or something because yes.
>>78188229
Like I said who cares about cannon? It's comic book shit.
>>78188207
No, it's a myth.
>>78188296
Everything is canon, motherfucker. That's the purpose of having an infinite Omniverse.
>this straight out of Man of Steel fight
>>78187563
I enjoy it. Not exactly consistent, but the J'onn reveal was definitely a step in the right direction
Christ Kara
>>78187478
Nice MOS reference. Holy shit I love this show.
Why are the fights in this show such shit
Don't they have like twice the budget of flash
Lot of upskirts this ep.
>>78188345
>>78188354
>Kara actually saving someone mid fight
Is that suppose to be a dig at MOS?
>>78188389
Especially with them making a point of her not killing the villain, I think so.
>>78188380
The flying effects are okay, it's the static shots of them while they're in the air that are pretty bad.
>>78188332
Don't get butthurt about the multiverse.
>Go home Donna Troy
>>78188380
I don't think so, no. Some fights look good, others look terrible.
It's a new show doing fights nobody else really does. I'll give them this first season to work it out.
>>78188401
She seemed to want to. "Literally says I should kill you."
Love this show. The MOS fight choreography being lifted made it even more funny.
Character Ranking
Great
>Cat
>Kara
>Hank/J'onn
Good
>Wynn
>Alex
Shit
>Lucy
>Jimmy
>>78188410
Agreed. They need to find directors who know how to handle action scenes and an FX team who can do them.
>>78188441
Yeah, that expression Kara had when she realized that she couldn't bring herself to kill her was pretty great.
>>78188461
What's wrong with Lucy?
TWEEST?
>>78188351
It's basically what I expect from first seasons of modern TV shows. It's trying to find it's footing and it's slowly getting there. If they do grace it with a season 2 I think it'll be a better show. DC's shows tend to take a serious look at what people are saying negativity-wise and work on fixing it.
It's a decent enough capeshow.
I do wish the J'onn episode was mostly focused on her sister. It felt like two episodes jammed into one.
>>78188479
I think the on-foot fight scenes have been good. It's when flight is involved that it gets really awkward.
>>78188461
Why do you hate Jimmy?
I mean this is the first episode I've watched, but he's not bad from what I see.
>>78188482
Yeah at this point this show is necessary viewing for me. I'll watch anything Berlanti and Kreisberg work on. Flash, Arrow, Legends and Supergirl all crossing over and shit would just be gravy. I don't even need movies.
couldn't j'on read aunty's mind and end this bs?
>>78188461
>Lucy
You fuck
>>78187478
Why doesn't J'onn just shapeshift to look like Kara and get the information from that?
>>78187966
someone needs to show this to the Arrow team so Laurel's Canary Cries don't look like utter shit
The fights look a little sloppy but it's way better than Smallville's run and throw scenes
>>78188461
I actually think Alex is shit and the rest of the characters are fine.
>>78188521
Jimmy's not a bad character, people just get upset that he's black.
This bullshit love rectangle is annoying though, but I still like all the characters.
>>78188515
Yeah, right now I think it's about on par with Arrow s1 in terms of quality. Moments of greatness amidst moments of spotiness. It seems to be establishing things well enough, though. They've stopped referencing Superman every scene, Kara is still learning to be a hero but coping with larger scale hero problems instead of just balancing her job.
>>78188530
I'm going to have to go back and watch the other episodes now that it'll be on winter break after this week.
Fuck I still need to catch up with Gotham S2 too. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GREAT SUPERHERO SHOWS ALL OF A SUDDEN.
>>78188542
Because he doesn't want people knowing what he is. He only told Alex because she cornered him.
>>78188551
You do realize they are made by the same people? I like all the Kreisberg, Berlanti shows man.
>>78188505
>>78188521
>>78188536
I just think Jimmy and Lucy are boring. Shit might have been a bit harsh.
>>78188614
Lucy too hot to be boring yo
>>78188614
>boring
yeah I can see that.
>>78188521
Not that anon but personally I can't put my finger on what it is about Jimmy that bothers me. His scenes just don't really work for me. He's not terrible but sometimes he feels like he's there just because the audience knows the name Jimmy Olsen. I think he'd work better if Kara, Winn, and maybe another character were the "team" and he was around and there when she needs to talk but not directly helping out.
>>78188542
Do you want the whole base to know he's an alien?
>My mother was the BEST WOMAN WHO EVER LIVED
whoa now
I hope that they roll with Kara's mom being not a saint. It would be nice if she were someone who was flawed, without being a supervillain. You don't see that middle ground often enough.
>>78187478
Non killing people.
MMMM
>>78188622
maybe it's because i grew up with polka dot bowtie Jimmy but he's too cool it feels wrong
>>78188620
Eh, she's no Kara. I'd even take Alex over Lucy
Fuck your ecoterrorism, bitch
I may be an idiot but is Kara mom and aunt the same actress or actual sisters
>>78188109
I was born with bright blonde hair and now I'm a full blown brunette. It just naturally changed colors. I would assume the opposite change can occur.
>>78188663
Jor El and Lara do fucked up shit in the comics. I don't see why Zor El and Alura wouldn't do shit stuff.
New 52
>>78188714
Kryptonians are like the worst parents in the universe
Let me guess. Aunty's solution involves wiping out half the population.
>>78188706
I've never heard of the reverse, a lot of kids have lighter hair that gets darker, happened to me too.
>Melissa Benoist is 27
>Laura Benanti is 36
>>78188703
They're sisters.
>>78188628
Yeah and his weakness is too easy to exploit. It's better that he's keeps his powers a secret. Though I think Kara should know and team up with Jon soon.
Benoist does drama really well. That was a pretty effective scene.
>>78188703
They're twins. It's the same actress.
>>78188706
It's actually pretty common to be born blonde and have it get darker later on. Theoretically getting a large amount of regular sunlight could brighten your hair color enough, but I've never heard of that actually happen.
>>78188703
Same actress.
Starman
>If I wanted to have sex with a pool boy I'd still be sleeping with John Stamos
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
>>78188755
That was hard to watch, yeah.
>>78188734
So? They breed there women at age 11. Big deal.
>>78188787
WHAT WHERE
>>78187478
Opal city!
Adam Foster character is Melissa's rl husband?
>>78188755
She really does.
>>78188818
>Opal City
FUCK I MISSED THAT NAMEDROP
>>78188787
Opal City best city.
>>78188815
Opal city
>>78188837
Makes me sad that they haven't referenced it in Arrow/Flash yet though. Ted or Jack Knight would be a cool addition to the CWverse.
>>78188837
Yes
I wish one of these days we could have a Kryptonian planet that actually looks alien. Rather than spend a buck fifty on costumes and even less on sets. And that even goes for the big budget films. And speak Kryptonian.What does it sound like?
>>78188583
Get to work man of tomorrow!
I the only one who kinda wants to see Cat lose the business so we can have bad guy boss and get the company back shenanigans
>>78188859
I think it got a mention in Flash once.
>>78188837
>>78188839
Stargirl when? We know you want to do it Johns.
>>78188859
They did in Arrow already man.
>>78188866
the names always sounded Arabian in me, so like that
>>78188876
Kara IS Cat's personal assistant, so it'd be interesting from that perspective.
>>78188859
I'm pretty Flash name dropped Opal City
>>78188897
>>78188889
Huh, figures.
>>78188919
I mean, it'd free us from the love quadrilateral plot for a few episodes.
>>78188933
*pretty sure
>>78188895
For real, it'd be good to start up a supporting cast of other superheroes on here too. Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, and Stargirl would be a great start to a team.
>>78188919
Cat's son being Kara's love interest means we can keep her around for a bit at least. She can be a judgmental mother-in-law and a judgmental boss.
Does Cat HAVE to name-drop random celebrities in every sentence she speaks?
>>78188949
I find the relationship stuff barely present and unobtrusive, compared to the cringe in Arrow or at times in Flash.
that look when Cat realizes Lois's sister helped her out
>>78189011
This episode has been very light.
>>78189002
She wouldn't be Cat if she didn't.
>sending sensitive information over company email through company servers
YOU FUCKING IDIOT
>dat superbutt
>>78188967
Would absolutely love it.
>How great is it that Kara is an absolute animal in this show?
>>78189039
Yeah, I've noticed they've toned it down heavily since the pilot. I see it as a good sign they want to try a new direction with this show and leave the Ship to sink in Arrow.
>>78189068
yet people fucking do it all the time
>>78189078
She has some anger issues.
OH FUCK RED LANTERN KARA WHEN
So how long before toy man goes evil?
>Jimmy being a bro
yus
Jimmy and Winn, broing it up. This is what I want to see.
I hope this is the start of Winn's likable ascent.
WAS GETTING CAUGHT PART OF HER PLAN?
>>78189108
Season Four
>>78189102
Season 2 Kara does shit with Legends, Flash and Arrow. Fights Toyman.
Season 3 Red Lantern Kara, Legion appears!
>Kryptonians are immune to my telepathy
>Which Superman finds hilarious
>>78187478
>>78189133
YES
>>78189133
Hahah yes. Love this trope.
BTW Krypton gear reminds me of World of New Krypton get ups.
>My telepathy doesn't work on Kryptonians which Superman finds hilarious.
>>78189108
Toy man?
>>78189108
Winn's dad is Toyman in this show. Our Winn is Winn Jr.
oh shit Cat suspects
FINALLY CAT
Damn that was cool. Evil Kryptonians everywhere.
>>78189196
Ah didn't realize that
>>78187478
Cat knows.
CAT KNOWS
guess J'onn is gonna have to show off his shapeshifting
FINALLY
WOAH! KARA WAS SUPERGIRL THIS WHOLE TIME?!!
I love that Cat is actually smart. It would be so easy to make her stupid.
>Do me a favors and take of your glasses
Down Boner!
You know what's funny?
Cat's still going to treat her like her personal slave. Cat best girl.
Cat confirmed as better reporter then anyone at The Planet
>CAT KNOWS
>Smart enough to put the pieces together
>>78189108
He's Toyman's son. His father is supposed to appear sometime in the future. The actor playing him has been cast and everything.
>all this of murder
Jesus
>You don't fight like a human!
>BECAUSE I'M NOT.
Fuck yeah,, J'onn!
>>78189294
I don't know why but I find it enjoyable martian manhunter went to earth and decided to hunt aliens
This show has been getting exponentially better each episode.
I think I like it more than Arrow right now.
>>78189320
Liked that line.
Supergirl flying in. Kryptonians murdering everyone. Hanging out with Multiplex and Silver Banshee maybe? Who the fuck were they?
>>78189330
well his name isn't Martian Sitsaround
NOW THAT'S HOW YOU DO A WINTER CLIFFHANGER!!!! This show has become awesome. /co/ needs to come back NOW!
>>78189196
He could become another Toyman if his dad bites it.
>>78189341
>I think I like it more than Arrow right now.
That's your white male privilege speaking.
>>78189341
no Felicity so of course it's better
>>78189354
How long before his obsession with chocos starts?
wait was that the winter finale?
That wasn't that bad actually. I'm still not ready to be optimistic over the show getting better, but I can acknowledge that it is, at least.
>>78189377
That was way better than Flash and Arrow's mid-season finale, I'm loathe to admit.
Great episodic plot, all the characters are on-point and likeable, fantastic cliffhangers all around.
>>78189396
Kara and Alex visit Jons apartment. Empty oreo boxes everywhere and newspaper clippings.
>>78189402
Yep. No new episodes until next year. Merry Christmas!
>>78189402
Seems like it.
Well done, Supergirl. Keep the momentum going.
>>78187748
Same here.
>>78189424
You saying you didn't enjoy all the chanukah on arrow and flash?
>>78189403
It's been getting better and better Negative Nancy!
Go ruin some other thread.
Cat/Kara was strong that Ep.
>>78189465
Still not 100% into the show, but the improvement between the pilot and this is pretty damn astronomical regardless.
Cat gave me such a boner figuring out Supergirl's identity.
>>78189424
This is what I want in a superhero show. Smart characters. Smart characters. Smart characters. (I'm tired of idiotic characters never noticing things like Superman and Clark are the same person.)
>>78189218
Yeah that was a great mid season finale. Looking forward to the rest of the season, Flash and Arrow too for that matter. Ofcourse we'll have Legends in the mean time thank goodness.
>>78189495
Didn't mean to respond, damnit.
>>78189463
Flash's had some good points, but I just can bring myself to care about Wally. Leaving the character drama off on Cat figuring out that Kara is Supergirl makes for a better cliffhanger
>>78189499
Calista looks better now than she did on McBeal, she doesn't look so Skeletory
>>78189540
I never noticed how green her eyes are. Very pretty.
And I love how she is plainly in love with playing Cat. It must be a blast of a role to play.
>>78189528
The main problem I have with Arrow is that Dahrk is far and away the most interesting part of the show and Felicity won't stay fucking dead after the show comes back in the new year.
>>78189587
Its arrow no one stays dead except Ollie's parents
>>78189463
Flash's episode was a great episode in terms of being an episodic adventure but I think Zoom's BTFO moment should have been saved for the midseason finale. You couldn't really top that and the mid-season twist was kind of weak and expected.
Arrow's midseason was pretty good I thought but I just felt nothing about Felicity dying.
This episode, as an episode itself, is weaker than Flash's but as a midseason finale it was pretty damn great.
>>78189643
Isn't that a trope in comics? The closer you are to a parental figure the more likely they will stay dead once they are killed? See Uncle Ben and The Waynes.
I wish Cat Grant would meet Harrison Wells. The snark would be off the charts.
>>78189672
Felicity's death would have been a huge moment if I expected them to actually keep her dead. But I just can't see her getting killed off for real right now.
>>78189733
And of course, after arguing, they would end up in bed together.
>>78189737
Half of arrow's fan base are women who self insert as felecity
They aren't going to kill her off permanently
>tfw no music meister
>>78189814
I am a woman and for me she went from, "OMG, she's adorable. I love her" to "Come on. Stop whining. What has happened to you?" Why can't she go back to being Season One Awesome?
I wish she had gone with Ray. They were better suited for each other.
>>78189814
and that's why the show keeps going downhill
>>78189866
Are you me? I loved Felicity at first but fucking can't stand her now because EVERYTHING has to be about her and her feelings.
She and Barry were cute together too.
>>78189866
I think the main problem is that she became the love interest. I don't think the writers are that good at romance. When Laurel was the love interest I hated her but then when Oliver went to liking felicity i almost instantly started liking laurel because she became a much better character
>>78189866
>>78189911
same, I liked her in the first two seasons or so then she got REALLY bad
>>78189929
You're right. I think Arrow is one of those shows that doesn't need the leads to have a love interest. In fact, I think it hurts the show.
Lance can have a love interest. Thea can have one. Ollie? Nope.
>>78189533
>I just can bring myself to care about Wally.
Well considering he was only shown for like 30 seconds perhaps you should give it some time
>>78189737
Felicity's death would have been a huge moment if the character was still likable. But as it stands now I was happy instead of sorrowful and that took me out of it. Plus I know she won't stay dead either.
I'm generally interested in what's going to happen in Supergirl's next episode though and I feel some suspense. It's a nice feeling.
>>78189987
I don't mind Flash having a love interest, because ALL the major Flashes have had serious relationships. I just wish they'd develop that relationship seriously instead of constantly playing this "will they won't they" bullshit.
>>78189701
I would say so since when the whole black lantern thing happened Batman had his parents corpses moved
>>78190034
No I meant I'm not hyped for him joining the show at all
>>78189987
I dunno him and Sarah worked pretty good and I do like perfect husbando Ollie this season. I think the problem is that the writers don't grasp why people liked Felicity.
I am more interested in the Danvers/J'onn story than the Kryptonian Eco Warriors
>White Male Privilege
>>78190051
Flash hasn't really been doing the will they or won't they thing this season.
Iris is still upset about Eddie and not ready to move on and is being crazy supportive of Barry and Patty. I love it. She's not jealous, she's not petty, she's not being a bitch.
Iris has somehow become bestgirl. How did it happen? Did anyone ever expect this?
>>78190155
Same here. Seeing J'onn was on the show now rocketed up from "eh I guess I'll check it out when the first season is over" to "FUCK I GOTTA WATCH IT TONIGHT".
>>78189852
>Yet
>>78190164
>Flash hasn't really been doing the will they or won't they thing this season.
Yes and I really appreciate it. Patty and Barry are great together and I really fucking hope he reveals his identity to her sooner rather than later.
>>78190164
>Iris has somehow become bestgirl. How did it happen?
She stopped being the love intrest so she stopped being shit
I'm kinda of surprised I actually like patty since well like i said here
>>78189929
I just don't like how the writers write the leading girl
>>78190113
Felicity was a great supporting character. She had great lines, great moments, and generally made the show better. She added some comic relief to all the tension without being the butt of a joke. As a romantic lead, they have to throw way too much drama with her, and it just ruined everything.
hahahah holy fuck you faggots will eat up anything
i thought everyone dropped this show after the miserable start
>>78190421
>if a Pilot episode is bad the following episodes can't possibly get better at all
>>78190421
I saw the leaked pilot and really didn't like it, but the last couple episodes have been legitimately good.
>>78190595
Agreed
There's an interview with Kreisberg up over here http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/14/supergirl-kara-secret-cat-finale-spoilers
For those of you who just want the J'onn-related hints:
>What can you tease of Kara’s reaction to finding out that Hank (David Harewood) is J’onn J’onzz?
"Metaphorically speaking, Kara was in the closet when the pilot began. She’s come out as Supergirl. Conversely, J’onn is still in the closet. He says later on to Alex, when Alex encourages him to be who he is, “Your sister and I are both aliens, but she looks like a cheerleader, and I look like a monster.” It’s sad and heartbreaking, but part of the journey of this season of J’onn is learning to embrace who he is just as much as Kara has. Ironically, although he’s obviously older and a father figure, and is able to be a teacher and guide to Kara, as far as being a superhero is concerned, it’s Kara who is able to teach him that even if you’re from Mars, that doesn’t mean you can’t be human. That’s their emotional journey for the season."

>Does Alex trust J’onn at this point?
"She starts to trust him pretty fast. It becomes clear that they’re partners in all this. Even though she’s keeping the secret, it’s going to come out. You’re going to see some of the amazing sacrifices that J’onn is willing to make for Kara and Alex, and what they’re willing to do in return."
>Is there a chance that we could actually see the real Hank Henshaw again?
"There’s a chance you could see anything."
