I enjoy this show but it is almost 100% because of the lead actress. I've never seen a superhero I could call adorkable before but she makes it work somehow. That said, it's probably only getting 1 season because CBS will have high expectations. On the CW it'd probably get 5 or 6 seasons easy.

Now that swapped about episode has aired, I would really, really rather they hadn't fucked with the running order.  While I kinda get the 'zomg terrorists things happened', I'm not sure it merited a switch around and, frankly, it broke some of the flow.  Well, a lot of it, actually.

Still enjoying it even if you really, really have to roll your eyes at the 'relationship' shit.

Take it for what you will, but Bleeding Cool and a few other similar sources say Supergirl will cross over with Flash as part of May sweeps.

But only if the back nine episodes get ordered.. and with the primary intent of boosting ratings, as Supergirl ratings aren't that good (barely above Gotham's.. and we all know how bad that show is). Same place actually mentions the Flash/Supergirl cross-over might even be a requirement of Supergirl's back nine episodes getting the okay.

Personally? Just don't care. Couldn't stomach Supergirl past two episodes (which is sad given that it is the only super hero-ish show I've dropped -- though I never bothered to even try the new Heroes) and Flash isn't important enough to me to care. I still wouldn't watch Supergirl. That said.. the idea is dumb and only desperation is making it a possibility.

No thoughts on this last episode? I was spoiled at first, and was really pissed off, because holy crap. But then I watched it this morning, and based on what Hank Henshaw said, I would have figured it out immediately.

Personally, I liked it. I don't know what they were thinking when they made that decision, but it works for me.

In general I am enjoying this show, mostly because I don't try to think to hard about it. However, even with the effort I am making to not deconstruct it,

Because Fuck You, that's why.  And a good thing too.  I really, really don't want more fucking men spoiling my Benoist show.

Also, figured out why Olsen bothers me so much.  Thankfully, it's nothing to do with him being black.  It's to do with him being so damned handsome.  Jimmy's meant to be an utter douchecanoe and that's why it's not working for me.

He's one of the few men that my wife has deemed prettier than me. While I'm not entirely happy with it, I will accept it.

I actually like the Pretty Jimmy Olsen. I mean, do we really really want Freckles McFuckstick snuggling up to Lois Lane's sister?

EDIT: I caught up to the mid-season finale and I must say, I did not see the Hank Henshaw reveal coming but was very pleasantly surprised. Also, I'm quite amazed that Cat Grant is becoming the most 3-dimensional character on the show but I'm really digging what they are doing with her.

Yes, the idea of multiple universes crossing over is in no way crazy.  Ohhhhh, I see.
... and yet is a core aspect of many DC storylines.  Including, in a way, one that is being worked into Flash...

Nothing is guaranteed ... or off the table ... as long as the money be there.
The crossover between Flash and Supergirl, probably based upon the aforementioned Flash storyline, is going to take place. http://tvline.com/2016/02/03/flash-supergirl-crossover-episode-date-spoilers/#more-680242

This was left off the renewal list. Probability of cancellation if numbers don't pick-up over the last few episodes left.

They are probably waiting to announce it or something because they are already announcing guest stars and shit for next season.  Linda Carter is going to be playing the President next season for example.

Tvline has a renewal tracker. They call certain shows A Sure Thing for renewal. I've never seen a sure thing not be renewed. They call this show a sure thing.

They're likely just negotiating something: number of epsodes, or perhaps a revision to the cast.

Btw: For those watching Flash and Supergirl: Tuesday's Flash takes place before Monday's Supergirl.

Yeah, I dropped this pretty early in the season but watched this episode for the Flash crossover.  Supergirl is still incredibly adorable and would keep me watching if the rest of the show wasn't so bad.  I have no idea who those two villains were but they belonged in Adam West's Batman.  Jenna Dewan Tatum is so hot is is actually distracting.  Cute episode but it only reminded me why i quit watching the show.

You have to take some cringeworthy dialogue at times, but I actually think they've done really well with this show. The episode where Supergirl goes batshit crazy from red kyrptonite exposure actually handled the whole "corrupted power of Superman" thing so much better than BvS and in less than half the time.

I enjoyed the hell out of the Flash cross-over and I think it helped that they both enjoyed themselves so obviously and had great charisma. This show is everything the DC movies are not: fun to watch and with a grasp of the characters involved. (Minus Olsen. I don't care that he's black but Jimmy Olsen should not be a good looking man who women fight over.)
