I know this is totally  but one thing that annoyed me about the pilot is when the Department of Extra-Normal Operations or whatever shot Kara with kryptonite needles when she was flying, the fall should have killed her, since by all accounts kryptonite makes both her and Superman mortal.It is also not clear to me why the bad guy would run away from a helicopter, when he is clearly at least as strong as Kara and nothing the humans could throw at him could hurt him. Oh well. Lazy writing I guess.

Juuuust enough to get the needle in and make the sedative take effect.Though I imagine someone's car is now flat as a pancake and yet somehow still blared its car alarm until 5 in the morning.

Like that 'well it's nice to have our own super hero' 'yea you said that about a basketball team too'. This show has some pretty solid promise and hey, neat creepy bad guy to punch today, could be the episode that turns things around for some of the folks on the fence

Yea I was worried she'd be the J Jonah Jamison of this show and she does not have the over the top bullshit in her to sell I WANT PICTURES, PICTURES OF SUPERGIRL type poo poo. Her thinking she's some ball busting check and balance system for a lady who can juggle tanks is a solid character choice.

I'm glad because I like Supergirl a lot so making the whole 'sooo...you're Superman...with boobs...kaaaaay' thing a storyline and having her actually need to learn how to use her abilities in a way that helps people rather than in a pure 'oooh heat vision didn't know I could do that' thing is the perfect use of her I think

I was a little worried when they referenced Superman a few times without just saying Superman but then a bunch of people started saying it! The opening line of the episode was something like "When people see the red cape they expect to see a certain someone..."

Yea that poo poo is the worst, especially when it's something like Superman on a Supergirl show, of course they have the rights to both so why be coy. Thankfully that was just a joke rather than the norm. This was a really good episode! Yay for good Supergirl!

Now all I want is for there to be some big dramatic season finale moment where Cat just casually drops that of course she knew who Supergirl was ever since the interview, she's not an idiot.

That episode was about 400% better than the pilot. Even the thirty second previously on that summarizes the pilot in thirty seconds was much more enjoyable than the actual pilot. I'm perfectly fine if Cat doesn't realize who Supergirl is, because why make the assumption she has a secret identity anyway?

I still intensely dislike the Department, because they're basically not-DC X-com.  Everyone knows the only proper way to fight off hostile aliens is with human wave attacks and stun batons!

I liked this episode a lot more than the first one. Things haven't quite gelled yet but it's close and I can see the way they're going. The pilot was just too crowded (as pilots often are).
