The
phrase “Its just the pilot” can no longer be used as an excuse
for a new series. We live in a time where there are way too many TV
shows on for the first episode to not at least get close to be really
good. The new Supergirl series debuted on CBS last night and it was
just like I feared it would be according to a post I did earlier this
year. This show suffers from uneven acting to a very rushed origin
story and by the middle of it I was ready to check out. Supergirl is
already a character that I'm not a fan of except in the Justice League cartoons. But the same could be said for Flash. I was not a
fan of him at all but love the show.
Melissa
Benoist stars as Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers aka Supergirl. This
starts off with her being put on a rocket ship from Krypton and told
that she is supposed to protect her cousin who would one day become
every version of the name Superman. Its weird. I think they said his
name maybe once and used other versions the rest of the time. Her
ship gets knocked off course and by the time she gets to Earth he's
already doing his thing. She is raised like a normal girl fully aware
that she is strong as all hell. A dull girl becomes a dull girl with powers.
