I do not watch Supergirl. I watched the pilot and thought it was actually quite fun looking but I have too many shows I watch so I gave it a miss. As someone who just watched this for the Flash here are my thoughts.
Good
- Kara is awesome. I seriously fell in love in this one episode. Brilliant casting.
- I actually liked the 'city save her' thing. While I did expect her or Barry to take them down, I feel the way the people saved her was very 'superman' universe-like. It's true to the character.
- I thought the costume of silver banshee was immense. The character really intrigued me and made me want to find out more.
- Barry and Kara's chemistry was off the charts.. perhaps more than with anyone outside of team flash and joe.
- Cat Grant.. i could probably get used to it. Interesting character.
- The set up at the end made me intrigued for the next episode.
Bad
- This is not a race thing but Jimmy Olsen could be the worst casting and scripting decision they ever made (in a show where the casting generally seemed to be on point). I won't go on about it because I'm sure there's been a lot of talk, but he was a terrible actor. There was no chemistry there whatsoever and I don't know if I'd be interested watching a show where he's the main love interest, especially if he mopes around like he did in this one. He was terrible.
- As much as Silver Banshee's look and character impressed me, Livewire had the opposite effect (although her use of TV screens was cool).
- The fight scene came off a bit campy, kinda like power rangers with a girly spin.
Overall I'm really glad I gave some time to this. I'd give it a solid 9/10. Most enjoyable of the Flash/Arrow/SG shows this week. I really hope they return the favor sometime and she cameos in the shows I watch, she was awesome.
