Supergirl/Kara Zor-el Love her, hate her???

[superspider02]

Ok guys making this thread so u can post your opinions on them brining in the real supergirl for this season. Speak out!!!

[BABarracus]

too pretty and too grown up from preview pics she will steal time from lois none of the women in that show ever dress average always some kind of designer outfit. this is a farming town

[Quynlan Guant]

I absolutely love the idea. I was wholly disgusted with the previous "Kara", even if it wasn't really her. I'm a huge Supergirl fan, I can't wait.

[Minela]

Absolutley adore her!

[Zod in my pocket]

it's love-hate now. When I think "Supergirl" I think someone who's a kid compared to the Big Blue Cheese, not someone who's so close to him in age. I'd rather she be PG, but she doesn't have the "right stuff" to fill that suit;) That's a minor gripe.

[Krypton935]

I think I'll like her. I always like it when they bring in someone so Clark doesn't feel alone.

[Lightning Flash]

I like her, the actor, and the character, and can't wait to see her.

[svtwamedfan05]

Love her, can't wait for "Kara" (next weeks eppy)

[redeem147]

I can't vote for any of those. I'm 'too early to tell'.

[legolazzz04]

Supergirl rocks!

[simaozinho200]

i agree with redeem to early to tell

[uhhuhhim]

Considering the fact that she had no lines and is relatively unknown, she did a great job. Time will tell, though.

[ninthdegree]

I love seeing Kara and Laura looks amazing! Can't wait for more!

[foreversmallville]

I'm not sure...I didn't vote yet. I don't like the idea of Supergirl taking story time away from Lana and Chloe...They are my favorites. I'll see after I few weeks how I really feel. The most important thing about Supergirl is that this is not a show about her...it is a show about Clark Kent!!!

[Kid Collins]

She was hardly in this ep.

I can't make a judgement.

I'll wait for next week and cast my vote.

[Baron Karza]

Hate. I hope it's just another Phantom Zone crook. Like that Faora Hum-ul.

[Kara_Zor-El]

I have to admit, my first reaction to hearing she was gonna be on the show was "Hooray!!" followed by an immediate "Oh no!". I was worried about how they'd protray her. If you can't tell by my screen name, I'm a huge Supergirl enthusiast. I read all the comics, I've made her costume from the newest comic, and even act as her at comic book shops on free comic book day.

Although after seeing this episode, I'm sold. First off, the actress just looks amazing and I think the outfit they gave her is so funny and cute. They also made her seem more sad which she should be. I was worried that they were just gonna try to make her all bada$$ from the start. I want to wait until next week though before I give my absolute opinion.

[Sex Luthor]

Kara is HOT !! Wut a smart idea by bringing in a hot blondie to the show to boost up the rating !!

U telling me this ain't hot??

http://i22.tinypic.com/10dfx9f.jpg

[Lunar]

So far, so good. I think the more Clark can learn about his family, the better. I think she may end up being the one that pushes him to use his powers more and will help him understand the true nature of his family and home planet.

[Kara_Zor-El]

Sex Luthor, that is hott. Just about as hott as this:

That's totally my body by the way!;)

[Baron Karza]

Great RAO!

[Kal26]

Loved her, loved her, loved her! :D

[MidgardDragon]

Love her. Great characterization even for the short while she was in the episode. It showed she was a super-powered person who came from Krypton, yes. But it also showed she was still just a scared teenage girl who was far from home.

Yup...and can she be any hotter in the opening credits? Oh my.

[darkkrypton81]

Right now it's a little too early to judge her. We'll see as the series goes on.

[Spirit Detective]

Kara was hot in this episode. It was actually pretty good watching her plot with Lex and the dam.

[Brizzle]

Sorry but now that I have seen her there is some scenes where she looks bad. So i am going to say she is overrrated now lol.

But as far as supergurl goes she was the best thing in the premier. I loved the very last scene with her.

[Angellegna]

Supergirl has always been my favorite superhero and I'm soo happy they're bringing her onto the show! It's hard for me not to love her at first :p Especially since they chose a great actress to portray her. Can't wait to see how her character develops!!

[paolinki25]

Yeah, she was hardly in the episode, but I enjoyed her introduction

[Mini Wolfsbane]

Too soon to tell. She had no lines and didn't do a lot.

Plus I've been against her coming in since I heared about it.
(It's not that I don't like Supergirl-I don't know anything
about her, really-I just think it's messing up the
continuity is all.)

[MidgardDragon]

Smallville's continuity cannot be messed up by bringing in a new character. If you think this is messing up DC continuity, well, that has absolutely zilch to do with Smallville outside of a few key points like Clark becoming Superman, working at the DP, and falling in love with Lois.

And the lack of lines helped her stand out, because she got to act with facial expressions, which is a difficult thing to do, and she pulled it off.

[boingo]

Too soon to tell....but as far as looks (because that is really all we have so far)....She looks great!! Looking foward to see some more.....

[ginnyfan]

Meh.

Hopefully next week I'll feel something more than delight at her beauty and water ballet abilities.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Not a huge fan at this moment, seems like pointless eye candy ( not that eye candy is ever pointless), don't really see any point to her character, lets hope something comes out of it.

[Chloe>All]

Quoted because I feel the exact same way.

[marka58091]

I love how you guys talk about if you love or hate her when the girl hasn't spoken a word yet...lol

Noticed how her ship looks alot like Zod's. Clark will delay his training until he finds out what side she is on. Hell, she is pretty easy on the eyes.

[LODGE4]

According to the spoilers on this site, Zor-el is evil and Kara is dangerous. I sure hope not, though - I LOVE SUPERGIRL!!!!

[Kara_Zor-El]

Well in the Supergirl comics for the longest time it looked as though Kara was sent to earth by her jealous father, Zor-El to kill Kal-El so that she is the remaining Kryptonian. Though after a long time we finally find out that that was never his intention. It was some mind trick that another villain (i forgot who) was playing on her in order to figure if she's a true hero or not.

So I think it be kinda cool if at first we can't tell (and neither can she) if she's good or not. It would stay true to the comics at least.

[ClarksGal]

I can't say for sure right now, but I like the idea [of Kara on the show]. I thought she looked beautiful in this epi, but nothing else is really known about how she will be portrayed. I have read the spoilers, but don't want to bring them up here, so based on what I've seen so far, I have no opinion one way or the other about what her character will add or take away from teh show.

I do think there is a lot of potential to give Clark some insight into Krypton, Kryptonians, and to help him find out what parts of himself come from that. And also to help him define himself as both human and Kryptonian, which is how he comes to be Superman, IMO. He's both.

So I guess my answer is that if Kara is used in the show to compliment Clark and his journey, and maybe to add some humor, then I'm all for it. If it ends up being the Supergirl show, I will be sad.

[Kal26]

They made us think Zor-El and Kara were out to get clark in her latest run in the comics too, but we found out that was all a test for Kara. I'm guessing smallville will do the same. Make us think Zor-El is evil, just like they did Jor-El. We'll find out later that he's not.

[Sexyman]

When she was flying she seemed a lot more powerful. I loved the last scene with her. Although her voice is kind of annoying.

[Angellegna]

Supergirl Show would be better then Clanaville :rolleyes:

[Brizzle]

Kara is bic that is all I have to say she is officially the bicist character on smallville cuz she can fly lol .

Just want to get your opinion on something hypothetical at this point. I'm not saying it will happen like this, but if this season turns out to focus too much on her causing Clark to be under-developed and characters who won't be around for another season like Chloe, Lionel, Lex, and Lana to not get properly wrapped up (or wrapped up in a crappy way), will you still think it was a good idea of bringing her in? I know you like her now, so I'm just interested in what your opinions (independent of whether or not you think Clana angst would ruin it instead if Kara wasn't on the show) are if she does steal the thunder.

Like I said...just a hypothetical.

For me, I'll have no problems with her if 2 conditions are met:

1. She doesn't steal the thunder (i.e. Karaville)

2. When the season is done, if Clark has greatly progressed in his path towards becoming Superman without being able to say that it was all because of Kara

I liked Raya because both of these same conditions were met with her. I actually hoped she would be in 2 more episodes before being killed off. I wanted to see Clark & Raya vs. Nam-Ek & Aethyr. Unfortunately the writers didn't have Clark go back to the FOS in scenes with Jor-El to find out more about Krypton after killing her off.

exactly and things went from bad to worse for her in the comics after that. instead of being accepted and welcomed no-one trusted her(not even krypto) then she found out about the kill kal-el thing, then she went on a downward spiral with captain boomerang jr and nightwing. Hopefully they follow canon:lol:

[Darkness Falls]

I hope they do the character justice and make her a part of the overall story instead of a distraction. However my XY chromosomes render me incapable of complaining about another attractive woman on a show I'm enamored with.

[globalbudd3]

Hmmm. I agree with those of you who said it is too early to tell.

In terms of looks, she is yet another blonde on the show!! (no offense..LOL)

No matter how many blonde clones they bring into the show, Chloe will always be my favourite smallville blonde..

[xrayvision]

I really, really hope Allison cuts her hair in the front. It's way too long and really takes away from her beauty. She should go back to the season 5 style.

[MidgardDragon]

I loved Chloe's hair in the premiere. Long hair is pretty much always better.

[xrayvision]

I like the back long but the front short. I hate long hair in the front. It makes people who have it like that look like a monkey. Either that, or it just looks better on some people than others. Dr. Cameron (from House) in season 3 had longer hair in front of her forehead, yet she looked pretty good. That look just doesn't fit Allison IMO. I like how it was shorter & parted somewhat in season 5. I liked her hairstyle the best in that ending montage in Covenant and in Arrival when she was in the FOS. I seriously thought in the episode Labyrinth when she pulled up in her car, she looked like that junkie/criminal/etc who shot Lex in the back in Lexmas.

[AngelaV]

I'm not voting because I haven't seen Kara enough to even have an opinion! This show has never been very close to cannon especially when it comes to characters being brought in early like Lois and Jimmy.

BANGS are a pain in the butt! I haven't had bangs in over 10 years. My 3 year old daughter has them and looks cute as a button but it's a pain to keeping it look neat.

[australian infected]

Didn't think I would have liked supergirl, but she looked as though she will fit in perfectly. Gotta love that she can fly. It just looked awesome!

[Christine C]

Well, with all the blonds perhaps its time for someone to go brunette, thats if, you really are the real Lois, Ed Lo. I too agree Supergirl was brought on for ratings eye candy. I hope she doesn't take away from others story lines who are much more important at this point. It seems most people are looking forward to Supergirl, but I think its too late in the game to have made her a regular cast member.

[xrayvision]

I think the best time to bring her in would have been next year (if there is a S8) when the staff will be greatly trimmed down.

[Dean_19]

Don't like it. Annoys me that that there is constantly people in SV who are 'better' than Clark. He's Superman, he should be the fastest/strongest/best..!!

[MidgardDragon]

Being able to fly, run faster then Clark, or be stronger...none of these things are what makes Clark the best. Not only can he do them all, but he is a true hero, saving lives and risking his own to do so on many occasions. Being better is not a matter of what you can do, but rather what you do with the abilities you're given.

[Estro-gen X]

I take it you don't read the source material:lol:

some of the justice league could take him- kara could take him but thats not what makes him special. Superman is more than muscles in spandex

[Ilovebeinglost]

Love her.

we need new blood in this show to keep it alive

[Curium]

I disagree with you whole superman should be the fastest strongest best statement lol.... as it is the fact that he has to over come all these near impossible tasks... and as it is smallville clark still barely understands half the things he can do :)

but as for kara , i thought her screen time was very well put in , and even with out hearing a word from her the scene at the end , for me at least was some very good acting , guess we shall see

[lilkoolmaria]

Love her!

[silverstreak]

i kinda like her. brings another person into smallville. i guess i have to watch this thursday to see her acting.

[DeLoren]

I have to agree with the criticisms finding Kara yet another Hero-role model for Clark. Do we really need yet another super-type who knows more about Krypton than Clark? It would be nice to have a bit of a reversal here... more like what they did with his relationship with the Flash character.

Lol how could you be disgusted with that oldKara?!?!? You just must not like hot chicks, because that KARA was SMOKIN!!!She was so tasty they brought her back for Aquaman and Supernatural Tapped her to be SAMs girlfriend. I like this new Kara too, she looks kind of short,so she could pass as Clarks younger cousin. Havent seen her actually act though, but she cant be worse than lois.

Gotta love that she wears the primary colors, lol.

[xrayvision]

I gotta say that I liked that scene with her on top of the water tower when she was looking at the bracelets. I didn't like the part when she stood up. There's a general rule that actors are not supposed to make eye contact with the camera. I didn't mind it too much though. As far as looks, I have seen much hotter females on this show (I thought Desiree, Alicia, Helen, and Victoria Hardwick were hotter), but she certainly doesn't look bad. I just hope they can control themselves and don't overexpose her with airtime so they could properly conclude the fates of several characters that won't be around for another season (and Clark). I hope she works with Lex for a while since that would make things interesting.

[jimmyolsenblues]

I did not see enough of kara to judge her yet.

[chlo-el]

What I've seen from her in the first ep is I love her. From the promos and stuff I wasn't too happy about it I thought there were going to bring her in as more eye candy and but her in a mini skirt. But seeing her in the premeire I saw a real sadness and vulnerablity there. I'll have to see more of her but so far so good.

[Iluvgreen]

She saved Lex! Thats all I need to know if I like her or not.

[SVfan4ever]

I need to see more of Kara before I make a decision.

[adromidon]

Originally posted by Iluvgreen

[Kal26]

Not to mention that a hero would save anyone, no matter who they are, or what they've done. Kind of the whole idea behind superman.

[adromidon]

yeah well Kara is not a hero YET

[Kal26]

She saved someones life, even though she didn't have to. I'd say that's a hero.

[adromidon]

ok you have a point

[borednow]

Hate her.

In truth I cannot really make a call biased on this episode alone however I hate all superheros with the word girl in there name pretty much on principle. Particularly if said girl is where some other superhero had man before.

Batgirl
Supergirl.... I find it rather demeaning.

[operadiva]

Haven't seen her yet but if she is there to kick the **** out of Lana Luthor ...then yea..she will be a great addition to Smalville...

[redboots]

LOVE her already :)

Really looking forward to "Kara" now.

[Kara_Zor-El]

I'm with ya on that one Redboots!! I think I've been looking forward to this episode more than Bizzaro!

[Kal26]

It's demeaning to call someone a girl, if they are a girl?

Is it demeaning to call someone a boy?

That seems kind of like calling someone racist for calling me white. I am white! :D

[adromidon]

I think what they ment is that 19 is not considered a girl it is considered a woman but they can not call Kara Superwoman because later in the mythos Lois is Superwoman

[Kal26]

Right. Not to mention, when Kara in the comics became supergirl she was much younger. That's why she was called supergirl. She actually was a girl. Anyway woman, or man, you are still a boy, or girl. Male, or Female. All words meaning pretty much the same thing. I'm 27 now, and would not have called myself a man at 19. People like to think they are worthy of that title at 18 because our government tells us that we are adults. However, that's a title that must be earned, not given. I don't care if you are 75, if you still act like a boy, you are a boy. It's dependant on the person, not the age. Even then, if I was called a boy, I wouldn't take offense to it, as I would know that the meaning was male. Getting upset over something like that seems trivial to me. If I am an adult, people will know that from my actions, not my title.

[adromidon]

*claps

you hit the nail on head could not have said it better myself

[Kara_Zor-El]

later in the mythos Lois is Superwoman

Wait...what? When did that happen? I totally missed that!

[Kal26]

A couple times actually. Not sure about the first, but I know it was along time ago. I have a silver age action figure of her in the outfit. It looks nothing like supergirl's, or superman's really.

She was superwoman again recently in all star superman. Not sure if she used the name though.

[adromidon]

eventually Superman makes a cocktail out of his blood that grants her temporary Kryptonian powers for 24 hours so she takes that every time she wants to keep up with him

[Kal26]

^^^^^

Nice!

[adromidon]

Yeah those are the parts of the comics she wears the superwoman outfit

[lauraforever]

I love her love her! It's been a really awesome idea of getting Kara in the season!! Hope she's not going anywhere, would love it love it if she's in Season 8

[e-µ-i]

Of course I love her !
She makes me go :eek:

[lauraforever]

I totally love her in her introduction scene!

[jon-el87]

I don't get why they brought her in in the first place? She didn't bring anything to the show. All she did was give Clark a photo of his mother and that's about it.

[zHeN_zHeN]

I just re-watched the episode and she didn't strike me as anything special.

But, I started to like her after subsequent episodes.

[Estro-gen X]

I don't get why they brought her in in the first place? She didn't bring anything to the show. All she did was give Clark a photo of his mother and that's about it.

Well Kara could never do anything right in the eyes of the fanbase. He existence alone was an affront. If she actually did something it would take the focus from clark in their eyes. If she did nothing well then she's useless, you see? Even the whole Lara thing annoyed people, how dare Kara remember more about Krypton than clark after she spent 19 years there!:p

[SleepingBeauty]

I love Kara she did a great first impression in the episode.
