I don't believe so, I think Whedon has posted in the wrong thread.
I've been pleasantly surprised by the the meaningful character interactions in this, over and above the pure action stuff. I don't find the characters bland, I think there are some intriguing things going on and don't find it unimaginative at all. I'm thorougly engaged with and enjoying this show and rather missing it at the moment

Might as well be posting against the wrong show, I really don't see that description applying to Supergirl!

Given up waiting for the official UK return and have caught up with the US via alternative methods.
So long Sky, snooze you lose.

Still, everybody's entitled to their opinion

I think the last couple of posts have moved into spoiler territory for a UK pace thread. Unless I've missed an episode to two on Sky, that is

i delayed watching it as i hate breaks. seems there is one anyway!
manhunter stuff is good. the kryptonians are boring so far. its defintley aimed at women maybe thats why i dont think its as good as flash or arrow. but come on, her love isnterest is boring, lucy lane is boring, her best friend is sterotypical. ally mcbeal and her sister are only good characters so far |

![]() I was referring to the fight at the end of episode 8 (Broadcast Dec 17th and currently available from Sky On Demand). |

Aside from the level of power and threat they represent I find that whole area of Kara's past on Krypton and what the Kryptonians are planning pretty intriguing. Her Aunt even seemed somewhat sympathetic until the last twist (although I'm still not convinced she's 100% evil). I really like the way Calista's character has developed from the stereotypical overbearing boss to someone with many more sides to her. I like how some of the character building stuff has been handled. It's not just a show about super powered people battling it out (although I love that too!) it has heart. If I had to choose, I think I'd pick it over both Flash and Arrow at the moment, although I like those shows too. |

I must admit I dislike the love triangle and hope it's sorted sooner than later, but I do find this good fun to watch. If you're looking for a serious show than obviously this isn't for you, it is silly but entertaining imo.

I will grant you that some of the supporting characters don't have the most scintillating personalities or sub-plots. But I don't find any of them that irritating and there are enough good characters and ideas to make up for it.

well even flash and arrow cant be considered on same level as buffy or BSG etc so its not saying much
If something has to be as good as the very best in the genre to be worth watching then you'd never watch anything at all! |
