It's a bright, cheery, superhero drama, which is very different than a show like 'Arrow.' I thought that there could be some improvements, but I'm hopelessly optimistic that this show will only improve!

Pleased? Better understanding of their choices? I liked that they just jumped right into her being SuperGirl, none of the whole Smallville 8 seasons of not being Superman.

Dean Cain and Helen Slater only appear for a few seconds in a cameo. I don't get the impression from the pilot that they will be recurring characters. I think it was just stunt casting. It was my favorite part of the entire pilot, which may not say too much about the rest of it.<br /><br />The overall tone seems to be "what if Ally McBeal had superpowers and had to work for that Devil Wears Prada woman?" I'm guessing that they felt she had to be "relatable" for young women and those are the only ways that the showrunners could think of to do that for someone who's essentially a god (or goddess, if you prefer). Pilots are often not a good indication of a show, so who knows how it might end up? Contrast that with the Flash pilot, though.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-617186197327510472015-05-16T20:52:19.394-04:002015-05-16T20:52:19.394-04:00I think that was NBC, but you're right they di...I think that was NBC, but you're right they didn't even make it to the pilot. I don't know why? You know...you're right about Agent Carter. She's not technically a superhero, but she is a comic book hero. I love that show!msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-1704758784159886002015-05-16T20:51:08.586-04:002015-05-16T20:51:08.586-04:00Hi Alex!

It looks like they did not learn from that very well. Oi, I want a good woman led superhero series! We've got Agent Carter though, that series is amazing, Peggy kills it even without powers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326360749989584359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-911231165645268312015-05-16T12:28:02.161-04:002015-05-16T12:28:02.161-04:00Actually, the beginning had me worried.
