Who knows? It may just be that he is shown to be awkward because of his intelligence, a sort of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory personality."<br /><br />I suppose it depends on how the Supergirl series might develop the LSH following this season's introduction. There's certainly potential for future growth within; however, there's also a segment of fans who are hoping for a redemption arc for the Worldkillers we've seen thus far. For Season 4, the possibilities still seem wide open. <br /><br />"I wonder if Gerry Conway didn't agree with the direction. Or liked Brainy. Or just wanted to put the Omega story and all its problems behind him."<br /><br />I would guess that it was the latter notion....although overwhelming ambition sometimes leads to an overstuffed story scenario that may have been unavoidable. <br /><br />"Not so happy with the dozens of "Bring back this secondary supporting character who left the show nearly half year ago and has already signed up for another gig or we'll boycott the series! Make my favorite ship canon or you'll lose viewers!" tweets..."<br /><br />Well, that cult trolled me for a spell last night...their predictable banter was ALMOST entertaining at times, when a couple of the trolls started cracking and suddenly realized their incessant tunnel-vision was inevitably failing on them.... :)<br /><br />They're getting desperate for attention.<br /><br />However, here's the thing this hive-mind mob hasn't figured out yet: the shows are already blocking off their method of hi-jacking social media accounts, thus ignoring the bulk of their illogical and regressive 'demands'. Supergirl isn't the only TV show that's being attacked in this way; it's unfortunately a social media trend among a LOT of popular entertainment media at the moment....but the affected parties are already keenly aware of this trend, and are just turning the trolls off altogether. <br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-63063529524164404872018-04-03T15:37:16.541-04:002018-04-03T15:37:16.541-04:00Hi Anj,

The news came out yesterday, Supergirl along with ALL of the CW superhero shows have been renewed.<br /><br />Gerry BeritelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-66815305615386559852018-04-03T09:42:25.723-04:002018-04-03T09:42:25.723-04:00First of all, thanks for the review anj. As someon...First of all, thanks for the review anj. As someone who has trouble finding these issues, these reviews are more than welcome to me.<br /><br />I am happy with the renewal news too and yes, I have seen the official Twitter account being inundated with bring Maggie back tweets as if the show is dying without the views of that strata of fandom. If that were the case then how would they explain the steady rise in ratings after Maggie left. As for the Make Supercorp Canon fans, I already consider them as batshit delusional especially after what they did after last year's SDCC. They won't take the Canon answer that Lena and Kara will only ever be friends eventhough various people have stated that to prevent any kind of baiting. They have been upfront about it but for these 'fans' these explanations are void and they consider any act on the part of the show to be a deliberate stunt to malign them. I have a lot of not-so-charitable thoughts about these subset of fans which I will refrain from spelling out but I am only grateful for the fact that the show runners continue to believe in their stories while taking constructive criticism as well. I don't want them to listen to a vocal minority and make the same mistake which arrow did with their romantic pairing.<br /><br />So, all in all, here's to another season of comment section fights, annoying shippers, more great storylines and hopefully a new suit as well.

Nowadays, "rude and snappy" is his default characterization.<br /><br />It appears that many Gerry Conway's stories feature weird psychobabble. Let us remember Kandor's idea of therapy or Spider-Man's weird "Oh, this is because I'm obviously NOT a clone" reasoning. I guess Conway wanted to delve into psychological issues but his knowledge of the subject was limited. Hence, he wrote stories where the best way to deal with an issue was erasing it.<br /><br />Hard to tell how much comic lore the show will bring in. As soon as the pilot it was clear the show's doing its own thing.<br /><br />Slightly off-topic, I'm happy with the renewal news (although it was obvious the show would be renewed). Not so happy with the dozens of "Bring back this secondary supporting character who left the show nearly half year ago and has already signed up for another gig or we'll boycott the series! Make my favorite ship canon or you'll lose viewers!" tweets demanding the showrunners kowtow to the demands of crazy, self-entitled "fans" who, by their own admission, don't care for Supergirl at all. Jesus, give it a rest. Or stick to fanfiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
