You guys are just upset cause Jimmy Olsen is black. LOL. I think the trailer was cool. I think viewership will be high in the beginning. Unfortunately, the whole premise has zero chance of being sustainable over the long term.

I do hope this is good. Seems a little Dark Angel to me, which is not such a bad thing. Season 1 of DA at least.

I liked Smallville until they killed off John Schneider. It went downhill quickly after that. They dropped or lost many main characters and it became unrecognizable when I would check in. Not to mention that channel itself was so dark you couldn't even see the show.

Yeah they did kind of screwed it up after the Kristin girl left the show and the actress who was cast for Lois Lane just wasn't Lois Lane and then to drag out the Lois loves Clark or does she love Superboy and does Clark loves Lois or Chloe story arch for 7 seasons was just too long

The first year of DA was really good. The second year they lost their way fast, and other than it being the first major job for the guy who's now been on 10 years of Supernatural it had little to commend it.

Jessica Alba never looked better than she did that first season. Great stories, great world.

Agreed. They had it going and then blew it. When the dogboy showed up it was all over. It was such a cool show up until then. I even liked the "Quicksilver" bike messenger service work setting.

Funny enough, I've seen Kevin Durand since then in a ton of things from Lost to X-Men Origins to most recently The Strain.

What happened to supergirl? Why does she work in an office? Why is she a stupid Clark clone? Why does she have the stupid clumsy Clark persona? Why is Olsen shoehorned into this?

You have Spiderman being morphed to cater to youngER adults. The first two spiderman films seemed goofy visually but IMO the story is more mature and they went backwards from that. Let's not forget Smallville where they actually shoved superman into a High School setting.

Here you have a character that is supposed to be a young student and you shove her into the adult world? #%&*$# ironic. This is supposed to be a young girl who asks if a certain war torn region in asia is located near Daytona Beach.

I have zero interest in the show but I read that the pilot episode had very good ratings and it was one of the highest rated premieres for this season so far. The real test though will be the second episode to see how much the ratings drop. A lot of shows in the past had a great reception for its pilot episode but then faded quickly afterwards.

I saw the pilot months ago and it was cute, the best word I can use. Melissa is effervescent and the cast is likable but I'm afraid that her Super ability will be in how they carry out the fight scenes. Smallville did this rather well and Clark didn't fly 90% of the time. Making her believable means not looking like she's suspended from a rig while slo-mo kicking butt.

I fell asleep @6:30 Monday so I missed it, but the wife said she liked the show. Which I guess, barring another early evening pass out means I'll find out how the 2nd episode is.

Doesn't matter, you can always watch it on demand or the website.

It was very rushed, but then the backstory isn't really anything that needed a lot of time to tell.
Have to admit, I dozed off. Jury is still out on this one.
I liked the cameos of Dean Cain and Helen Slater as her adoptive parents.

I was taping episodes of Star Trek 30 years ago, so it's not a new advance or anything!

The ratings for the pilot episode were great but I think there will be a significant drop off with the second episode. I think a lot of people watched the pilot out of pure curiosity but have no plans to stick with the show.
