Supergirl Season 1 Episode 2 Recap: Stronger Together

In this week’s episode of Supergirl on CBS, Kara (Melissa Benoist) quickly learns that having super powers and being a super hero are two different things. We pick up a week after she revealed herself to National City as Supergirl and she tells us it’s going pretty well. Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) isn’t impressed. He says there are very rigorous requirements to be a field operative for the DEO and right now Kara’s airborne mph isn’t meeting them. She wonders if he’s being so fussy because she’s a … woman? …. nope. An alien. Kara finds herself in a situation those who have extremely […]

Survivor recap Episode 6: What happens when Spencer has to play with Kass?

Survivor: Second Chance recap “Bunking With the Devil,” Season 31, Episode 6 (original airdate Oct. 28): When Jeff Probst makes a late-night visit to one of the camps you know it’s not to deliver good news.

He wakes up Terry and asks him to accompany him to the beach where he tells him that his wife called saying his son Danny is in the hospital and both she and the doctor believe that the situation is serious enough that he needs to come home. Without hesitation Terry’s out – family’s first. It’s heartbreaking […]

“Supergirl” soars with uplifting and fun series premiere

Melissa Benoist proves she is the perfect choice to play Supergirl during the first episode of the CBS series. She’s also the second hero to emerge from the Glee stage. Grant Gustin, who played shifty Sebastian Smythe, has been running with the ball as Barry Allen on The Flash. The new addition to the DC Universe has a similar feel of that CW show, only with a slightly different message. There is a sense of female empowerment when it comes with many characters in “Supergirl.” Namely, girls can rule — and save — the world. We are introduced to our heroine Kara Zor-El (Benoist) as she […]

Abi is still queen bee. She kept Woo in the game and if Woo dares to cast another vote against […]

Supergirl on CBS — Melissa Benoist soars as Greg Berlanti’s latest TV superhero

Arguably, I’m too old and much too fond of PBS to even notice the new CBS dramedy Supergirl. I like Supergirl anyway. I like it a lot. Much of the credit goes to series star Melissa Benoist, who calls upon the same sweet-meets-steely spunk she displayed as Glee’s cheerleader target Marley Rose to play Superman’s equally gifted cousin Kara Zor-El. Yeah, I was probably too old for Glee, too, but I love a good tale about “odd women out” who find their own power — be it in a high-school auditorium or on another planet. And I love that co-executive producer Greg Berlanti (also the […]
