Yeah. the Cooler original captain cold died on, Legends, I think. Apparently in the Past on a mission IIRC. and he was just getting interesting too, turning from villain to hero thanks to the kind naturdness of Flash towards his gallery of villains.

the more boring, in touch with his feelings Captain Cold is from Earth X. a formerly Nazi controlled world that was liberated by the heroes. I can't remember who his husband is name wise, but at least that was an original character and made it far more interesting. retconning an old one for, reasons, is so lazy.

This is how I feel about Miller's "Dark Knight."

So did anyone watch the super shoe horned in gun control episode. I am Liberal as it can be but Supergirl really needs to stop pushing their Liberal agenda every episode. No wonder I and others have given up on this show

Anyone have any thoughts now that season three is over and finally caught up with the rest of the television world? I tell you what, Katie's McGrath's Lena Luthor is gonna be the only reason that I'll be tuning in every week in season four.

Whoa!! Rhona Mitra has been cast as Mercy Graves in "Supergirl"!! I've been a fan of hers ever since she played Aladdin and Jasmine's daughter in Kid In Aladdin's Palace.

Looks like there's another character called "Otis Graves," who I'm assuming is at least slightly based on the Otis character from the Donner movies.

It's interesting how this show has become a pastiche of so many generations of Superman/Supergirl related media and adaptations. It respects its campy comic book roots in a way I feel Smallville was never really able to.

Rhona Mitra eh? Say what you will about this series, but they don't seem to stop casting very sexy girls.

That's pretty much every CW series in a nutshell.

Well it's true, nobody wants to watch unattractive people in movies/tv. Also usually when fat characters are cast they're almost always comic relief. I like a lot of fat characters in shows/movies but they're always intended to be "funny" like the guy from The Office, the fat guy in Jurassic Park 1 who gets eaten, Jonah Hill, etc.

At first I wasn't feeling Juliana Harkavy over on Arrow... but now man, that is a hell of a woman. Breathtaking.

Supergirl kicks off its fourth season on Sunday, October 14th at 8/7 Central

Still sucks they are wasting Spiner's talent on the 2nd worst CW show ever.

Brent Spiner has bowed out of the show, replacing him as the Vice President is Bruce "John Sheridan" Boxleitner

Now he can tell Kara to get the hell out of his galaxy

I hope everything is ok too. But I am glad Spiner's talents won't be wasted on a D list show
