That way there wouldn't be any implied or expected connection to Superman, she could fulfill the Superman AND Wonder Woman roles in the Arrow/Flash universe, and the Johns/Conner/Winick run set her up with a very TV-ready premise: she's a fun-loving single girl AND a brilliant corporate executive AND an rear end-kicking superhero. It would be like the Wonder Woman show David E. Kelley wanted to make, only that concept fits Power Girl perfectly, and Wonder Woman not at all. I've also never been a Supergirl fan, but Power Girl is awesome.

With Power Girl you basically have a superhero series in season 4. She's already self-assured, confident, a veteran - a bit similar to Constantine with a nice protagonist instead of an rear end in a top hat (or the proposed Wonder Woman series as you said). With Supergirl you can do the whole origin/learn to be a hero story again, which is pretty much the mainstay of Arrow/The Flash, and which probably seems the better/more appealing formula to them. I would have preferred Power Girl too.

Shield was pretty good this week, I like Mockingbird a lot. It seems pretty naive of Coulsen to let Ward out of his cell though, but maybe it's all part of the plan (although probably not with the Shield agents dying and all). I'm still struggling to care about anything which happens in Gotham, although this week's story was pretty good. It's the overarching plot I just could not care about. Flash I'm enjoying a lot, after the initial few episodes I was worried that every week the villain would have been created by the explosion, but thankfully they've pared back on that a bit. Wentworth Miller was pretty great in this week's. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Yeah I really think it's part of the plan. The show has been too good about that stuff lately. Especially with Ward. They systematically brought up every Ward redemption idea people had and trashed them.

They're also casting for the role of Alexandra Danvers, Kara's foster sister who is basically Lex Luthor in a wig.

I think it's pretty clear that Ward slept with all those guards, and then they got shot by Garrett.

Supergirl casting call:quote:CAT GRANT | The project is eyeing females in their 40s, open ethnicity, to play the founder of CatCo, a media conglomerate that Cat built from the ground up. Kara (Supergirl’s mild-mannered alter ego) will work as a personal assistant to Cat, who is described as “J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour.” She's working at the Devil Wears Prada.

Is there any hope at all that those two roles in the middle will be culled before that show makes it to air.

I hope they bite the bullet and ditch the Kara Danvers thing in favour of Kara Kent. The precis they put out made her parents sound like Ma and Pa Kent anyway. And I assume Cat will be our Joe West/Capt. Lance of the show, unless they introduce Maggie Sawyer or Dan Turpin.

I like the description of Schott, if he kind of subverts the nerdy tech sidekick every show has by actually being creepy and somewhat of a stalker evolving into a villain. That would be a really interesting dynamic. I also like the idea of a manly, alpha Jimmy Olson in a world where he's not constantly at Superman's side and under his watch, and he would be a lot more interesting than nerd Jimmy Olson.

Actually, changing him might be for the best. He's traditionally been as a stand-in for Superman fans, I don't want to see Jimmy as a stand-in for male fans of a superheroine.

I don't watch Gotham, but at this point I'm guessing it's like the Star Ward prequels where it turns out everyone is connected to everyone else in all sorts of really stupid ways?

Why can't that show just be Bullock and Gordon? That's all I want to watch! The Ben Edlund episode was good and this weeks was good. Maybe the show will break its spiral of suck.

Just have Falcone or someone out her and focus on that part of the story. The whole anger management arc from the later part of the book and 52 seems tailor made for a semi-character focused procedural. L&O:SVU has gotten a bajillion seasons out of Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni abusing suspects and being wrecks of human beings outside the office.
