Michelangelo Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I also really like this show and look forward to watching it every week. I'm also pleased that I convinced the Mrs. to watch with me and she enjoys it too. She likes it because the lead is a down to earth girl vs. how sexuality is usually in the forefront of most female leads. It's campy, that's true. but it's enjoyable to watch This also got the Mrs. hooked on Jessica Jones too - so double score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Wow! Can't say I didn't see that coming. I mean how long could they go in having Cat not recognize that Kara was SUPERGIRL without it looking silly - I mean she works pretty close with Cat who is an investigative journalist. It's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out - if she exploits SG or helps her cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Develop a positive relationship. Cat's character has changed over time and she has become warmer instead of the ice cold heartless person she started as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Develop a positive relationship. Cat's character has changed over time and she has become warmer instead of the ice cold heartless person she started as This was a pretty satisfying episode! Yeah, it was inevitable Cat caught on and I'm really glad it happened, especially this early on. I think there will be elements of both warmth and ice in Cat's psyche. I'm sure she recognizes the advantage she now has knowing Supergirl's identity but also has developed genuine affection for Kara. Ultimately I don't see Cat exploiting Supergirl. I CAN see the occasional slip up or exploitive thought crossing her mind (hard to lose the stripes) but I think Kara is safe with Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelangelo Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) from Urban Dictionary campy Camp (n.) and Campy (adj.): Being so extreme that it has an amusing and sometimes perversely sophisticated appeal. Over the top and farcical, intentionally exaggerated so as not to be taken seriously. Found primarily in television, theatre and motion pictures, camp endeavors for satire and, for those who fully understand and appreciate the risible nature of its material, it's not surprising when it develops a cult following. a.k.a cheesy Edited December 15, 2015 by Michelangelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelangelo Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 60's Batman is textbook cheese - but classic and with a cult following. Supergirl is a little cheesy - modern day cheesy (nothing will ever be like 60s Batman again) doesn't mean I don't like the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
