Will she? If Power Girl is suppose to be older than Supergirl, then surely an older actress than Melissa will be brought in for the role?

If the casting truly is Melissa, then it's quite likely we wont see Power Girl if/until Supergirl is cancelled, but if that happens they might as well just induct Supergirl into the Flash/Arrow shows.

One of the reasons (one of the big reasons) why Flash and Supergirl only met the once is because they're filmed in different sides of the country. If Melissa was suddenly put into place as Power Girl whilst Supergirl was still running, that would mean she'd have to travel a good distance every time Arrow/Flash wanted to use the character.

It ain't practical by a long shot.

If they do it I think like Flash on Supergirl it will just be a one off maybe two parter.

I think it will happen just before The New Year fans said Supergirl crossing over with Flash/Arrow would never happen.

It's Supergirl, did you honestly expect any less? The whole show is full of pathetic excuses or conclusions, and this really did irritate me.

The biggest most deadliest brain virus in existence is defeated by mere thought. How lame. I also see that Clark's reading and writing (or typing?) skills are quicker than [Flash] Barry's.

Who's in the Pod? I figure either her mother, or Zod (which is unlikely, as Kara probably wouldn't really know who he is), so yeah, I'm going with her mother. Supergirl meets Superwoman (they've the same power, right? now they can fight together cause Superman obviously can't show up). Least we got a nice view of his boots.

myriad being defeated by thinking about loved ones? bit naff. how do you use something like that to take over the galaxy with such a big flaw?

Good point about Superman being off world. In the films he can fly in space, so I would expect Supergirl to be able to.

I think the flaw with myriad only works on Earth, because only humans have feelings according to Earth centric American TV.

I totally agree with the previous posters about myriad but this show has been cheesy from start to finish!

One question my episode said stay tuned for clips from next week episode but I thought this was the season finale?

If it was the season finale it was awful as no threat or danger and nothing shocking apart from a pod landing with likely her mother in it!

The whole fact that they are trying to include Superman but not including him is starting to get stupid.So after Myriad attack he is lying down recovering so you only see his boots then you see him messaging Kara later on!

If Supergirl gets a second season I hope they make some vast improvements but I think that it's very unlikely!

It definitely needs retooling for next season.

No Superman unless they are going to show him.

No stupid love triangle. And definitely NO Blake.

But Mellisa is great as Supergirl, and so is Calista as Cat.

Just reading another review that said if this show gets another season it needs to up its game.

I'm surprised at how much both cat and max grew on me as it went on.
Agree that Melissa was great. Even david was good once he opened up a bit more and got some development.
Wasn't a fan of Alex though. Hate when character like her throw themselves in harms way for no reason/ don't listen to reason just because. Didn't buy into her or james Olsen either. Not a fan of the love triangle / square. Winn had potential but seemed to get dropped half way and forgot about post daddy issues

What utter nonsense this show has become. The whole Myriad storyline concluded even before the opening credits rolled.

There were so many cheesy or ridiculous subplots in this episode, I frankly don't know where to begin so here are just 3 puzzling anecdotes to kick things off.

1) Why on earth would Cat give Kara an office with no windows if you've just promoted her? Or is it just her bizarre sense of humour?

2) If Kyrptonians draw their powers from the Sun and don't need oxygen why did Alex say that Supergirl would die because she can't breath?

3) Just how exactly did Alex manage to fly an alien pod into outer space, collect Supergirl and bring her back to earth?

That's actually a very good point. Either Superman has a space ship that he uses on occasion, or he writers have traditionally screwed up. Either way, I am curious just where Superman had gone too - another civilisation?

I did kind of wonder that myself. Seemed to alienate Kara a bit, shoving her into a room with no window all by her lonesome.

Tractor Beam? In all seriousness, that's another good point as the pods are mean to sustain one person, and even if you could fit two people in one, how did Alex get Kara inside... if she opened the cockpit, she'd have been as good as dead too...

I'll further agree with posters here, and some reviewers in that Season 2 needs to up it's game significantly. I'd recommend replacing the entire writing department. A definitive decision needs to be made about Superman too. Maybe that can kill him off in the background? This isn't 'Earth 1' so what does it matter? If the show can't make use of him, then why the hell have him stick around?

Edit: This was episode 20 (I thought the show had 22?) either way, Wikipedia (not that reliable a source anyway) claims this to be the final, so the scenes from the next episode closing sequence was probably an oversight by the lacklustre production team.

Thanks about the solution to the next episode bit at the end of the show even though it was a season finale

Supergirl has been a disaster from beginning to end of the first season but I guess it must be pulling in enough non comic book viewers to keep it going although I saw the ratings dropped in the US for the season finale!

I still think it's a safe bet for second season but so hope I'm wrong as the second season will be more of the same mess like the first one!

I thought for just a episode it was good but for a series finale not so good.

They played up how Supergirl may die taking out Non yet she beat him pretty easy other villians have gave her more problems.

I agree with the space thing in all comics and other shows/films it's shown both Superman and Supergirl can fly in space as easy as they do Earth they should have said after the fights and lifting Fort Rozz to a safe distace from Earth she would be to weak to fly all the way back.


Who is in the Pod rurmours are Power Girl which is odd as Power Girl is Supergirl.

If not it is someone she knows maybe her Mum

I'm hoping for Krypto

Whilst true, Power Girl is from another multiverse, so she'd have travelled through some portal or something to end up in National City. This could be how they set up the character to appear in Flash though.

That said, I don't think it'll be her for two reasons;

1) I can't see a show from a different network setting up a villain or hero to feature highly in another series.

2) Whoever is in that pod is sure to have a main role (with a reason) for Season 2 of Supergirl. Power Girl wouldn't be that (it would be like having two Supergirls running around). The obvious person is her mother; but it's got to be someone she recognizes.

If it is Power Girl then if just landed it should be the 14 Year Old version of Kara.

Why?

It was my understanding that on he Earth Power Girl comes from, she arrived alongside infant Clark, so if anything, Power Girl would be older than Supergirl.

From what I know, all heroes (and villains) from across he multiverses are all born the same time, thus would be the same age regardless of which Earth they're from. The only reason why Power Girl is a different age to Supergirl is because (unlike Supergirl) Power Girls pod wasn't knocked off course.

Edit: It's not going to be Power Girl anyway. It'll obviously be her Mum.

If she is in the Pod she should still be in stasis.


If it is Power Girl I would like to see a story where like PG of the comics her Earth was destroyed and she ended up on a diffrent Earth.

Maybe even on her Earth she failed in her mission and Non won and the Earth ended up destroyed and she escaped in her Pod.


That said I do think it will be her Mum.

They were adjusted up to tie the season low, which is pretty poor for a season finale.

As for a second season, CBS boss Les Moonves last month mentioned Supergirl as one of the shows he "believed" would be renewed for a second season. And we all know the power of hope and belief.

But if the show does get a second season, surely the network will demand some changes. The shortening of the first season is a clear sign that they don't have much faith in its current incarnation. It will be interesting to see what happens. Far more so than the mystery of who's in the pod.

I was under the impression it had already been renewed.

If CBS drop it The CW could pick it up the ratings for Supergirl is actully better than Arrow/Flash/LOT.

I hadn't heard anything other than Moonves' statement, which was just slightly guarded, so unless I've missed something, it's not a 100% lock yet. Or not announced as such anyway.

4 out of 5 of the first run shows on CBS have been renewed SG is more than likely one of them but it's not confirmed yet.

It should be confirmed either way in the next few weeks as filming has to start soon.

Me to don't really see what people are complaining about.

As for the it's "too girly" the same people saying it would be saying "Why not just make Superboy" if they hadn't put bits in about how she's a girl.

Plus a lot were saying that even before the pilot leaked so had already made their minds up.

A lot seem to hate the Kara and James think TBH I like it more than Barry Iris who just don't seem to work on screen.
