ROFL - haha in stitches mate lol :D

It the only plausible explanation other than K as well.

Waut - They could also go down the route iirc where juvenile Kryptonians (Clark) didn't develop their full powers until he matured.

Why not make Jimmy black? The race lift itself isn't that much of an issue, just that he in no way resembles the character of Jimmy Olsen outside of occassionally showing him holding a camera and then they go and add Toyman Jr who actually does have most of the canon Jimmy's traits (and no the "I grew up" really doesn't cover the difference)

Oh and the Superwoman thing is addressed in one of the earlier episodes in one of those absolutely cringe inducing "girl power" rants that made the first few episodes so insufferable.

And I'm confused as to why they felt the need to write Superman out of this episode twice, alright this is bigger than your typical crisis on this show so it is one that probably warrants a quick explanation for why Clark didn't fly for 30 seconds to come and help, but then they give a perfectly satisfactory answer for why he isn't there, only to seemingly forget they did that 10 minutes later, give us 0.6 seconds of his silhouette and then write him out of the plot again just so they can do the scene explaining why Kara isn't effected.

I believe that was another way for them to scream "Girl Power!!!!" at you, you know just in case you missed it the first million times... :D

What a terrible season finale. Everything fixed via 'The Power of Friendship'. Honestly expected them to break out into a musical number at any point.

The Non fight might as well have not happened; am I expected to believe a trained military Kryptonian commander twice the size of Kara with years of experience can be beaten in a fist fight. He should have slapped her all over.

Blue T-1000 was pointless, but it did bring a smile to my face when JJ ripped her in half.

It wouldn't have been bad as a regular episode but it was a poor finale, this of all episodes was not one to solve the immediate problem in 5 minutes to go back to business as usual for the lionshare of the episode, even if it meant having the big showdown earlier and a longer epilogue the danger and threat from last week should have been kept until Nom and Indigo were defeated, not 5 minutes of danger, the power of friendship and then swanning about the office as if nothing is wrong.

That and they need to put up or shut up regarding Superman, if you want him in this universe cast an actor and start having him interact with his cousin and J'onn (you know this show that has the recurring theme of how important family is), including occasionally using them together for big events. You don't need to explain his absence at every turn, when Zack Synder isn't involved "He's Superman, he's off saving people" is all the explaination needed when he isn't available.

Or write him off somehow, dead, off planet, alternate dimension it doesn't really matter but get him gone and start telling the story of Kara having to adapt to being the big gun on the entire planet rather than a single city. But either way they need to commit to a course instead of this distant CGI shot and IM stuff.

I didn't even realize it was the season finale.


I think the blue T-1000 was only in it to satisfy fans who wanted that actress as Supergirl. I'd have preferred her too but she obviously wouldn't have fit this shows version of her, she was always much more serious on Smallville.

As far as I can remember, isn't the reason she is stronger than NOMNOMNOM because she has been on the planet for longer meaning that her body has absorbed 10 years worth of the suns rays where the other Kryponians have not been there that long.

But what was that with her needing to be picked up in space??? while I understand that she probably uses up all of her energy pushing the prison into space but as soon as she is out of the atmosphere she would be getting loads more of the suns energy so she would have been fine.. Weird!
 
Fair point on her being on Earth longer, so more yellow Sun.

Buuuuuuuuuuut, the Kryptonians in MoS could put up a fight pretty darn quickly. Zod was going toe to toe with Supes after a week of catching some rays.

The whole not breathing in space made me shout at the TV. Especially when in the previous episode they said "Superman was busy off world..."

How did he get off world if he can't fly or breath in space?!

Also, regarding the Fort Raas... which weighs a squillionty tons so 'you try lifting it'... which she does 10 mins later. Did nobody think to ask Supes to shift it months ago? Surely a whole gaggle of nasty Kryptonian prisoners and a huge Kryptonian space station crashing to Earth falls under his remit...

And don't even get me started on her sister flying Kara's pod, with no training, while her brain is being microwaved, after they clearly said 'if a human tries to get near Myriad their brain would pop', as she flies directly at Fort Raas to pickup Supergirl... >_<
 
Yay Girl Power and the power of friends wins the day... :rolleyes:

I like the fact they tried to make a show with a strong female lead and so on, what I don't like is that they feel the need to step on and belittle every man in the show at every opportunity pointing out how useless and week men are and how powerful woman are over and over and over again...

They should have gone more down the road of Jessica Jones with a strong female lead who kicks arse and a script that doesn't feel the need to step on the B******s of every man in the show.

Sometimes I wonder if Anita Sarkeesian is a consultant on this show.

Sorry, Rant over. :(

It could but generally speaking TV tends to not handle prequel series very well so I expect lots of "Hey Kids, look here's a character that gets mentioned in the Superman mythos" and end with young Jor-El having beaten Braniac, Zod, Darkseid and his assortment of underlings, Lobo, pre-Green Lantern Sinestro and the usual assortment of DC space characters.
 
But surely it'll be a bit naff, as on Krypton they are essentially Human power level...
