So the pilot wasn't as bad as I thought it could be. Everyone else has commented on the Cousin stuff, so I'll ignore that. What seemed out of place was some of the dialogue - they'd be rambling along and then suddenly someone would open their mouth and out would come some nonsense. What really threw me was when the sister came to the door and told Kara that she flat out shouldn't have rescued the people on the plane (including herself). It just seemed like really stupid dialogue, and I'm hoping that it's just pilotitis and the show not having found it's voice yet.

Gyges posted:I didn't really like any of the plot revolving around the plane. Why is the pilot circling the city in his plane with flaming engines? I realize there's not much safe landing options up in the sky, but what does circling a city do for you other than ensure increased death and destruction? Was he hoping Superman was paying attention and would come save the city and him? The plane doesn't have to be going down in the city for Kara to hear about it or for Cat Grant to use a super girl saving it to revitalize her news papers. Unless in the DC universe there's some sort of gentleman's agreement or law that only the "hometown" media is allowed to cover super heroes. The scene could've been better. Pilot: Oh poo poo, a second engine is on fire. Other Pilot: gently caress! Two engines on fire? Oh wells, might want to send out that Mayday then Onean posted:She was trying to keep Kara off her boss's poo poo list. It didn't work since Kara just turned to someone else, but that was her intention. I know she was trying to get Kara to tone things down, but it just came across as really tactless. If she'd shown up and thanked Kara, but told her that by doing so she had exposed herself to some really bad stuff in terms of publicity if anyone ever worked out who she was it would have been better. It's definitely serviceable, and it's only the pilot. I think it'll be a good CBS show and will get at least a second season. Pikehead fucked around with this message at 05:55 on May 25, 2015 |
