"For the Girl Who has Everything"
I have to laugh that this "government" agency violates all civil rights, due process of law, and legal counsel to hold Max Lord because "he's a bad guy."
Or that protocol be damned to let in 2 random dudes to your top secret base without anyone stopping them to ask "who are you?"
I think what could be the downfall of this show is the overly forced drama coupled with intra-show inconsistency.
-Supergirl is delicate. She must be protected!
-Supergirl is amazing! She can do it all!
-I'm just looking out for you Supergirl; you obviously are lost without us.
-Supergirl can stand on her own; she doesn't need us to tell her that.
-Supergirl, I'm tell you that you can stand on your own.
Also, the 'over-arching' picture of the prisoner Kryptonians diabolical plan is weak. It's truly comic book posturing, and that shows up as really weak.
I enjoy watching Melissa Benoist, her Kara/Supergirl can be a great character. I love watching her with Cat Grant. Great interplay, and rather natural. Winn also gets to be a mostly normal person.
But honestly? All of the rest of cast is pretty awful with what they are given. None more so than her sister. Whether its just the character writing, but that actor, in her role, that role itself, is just awful. Can't get past her.
Its just too ham-fisted all of the time. I really wish it was better. Makes me worry it won't get past it's first season missteps.
