I hope someone who writes or helps produce the show visits this site, listens to the viewers and will knock some sense into whoever keeps putting politics in the show. Stop it already!!!
An alien who is President still has to be a "democrat"? References to "resist" and "make" things "great again".? and the rest of the not so subtle inserts over the past several episodes. The show would still have told a good story without such lines.
I know they must think it is "trendy" to do, but have you seen what has happened to ESPN? They are hemorrhaging viewers, losing profits and just let go 100 on air talents because people turned off politics and sports. ESPN is sagging. If I wanted politics on Monday night at 8pm there are plenty of other shows I can tune in to watch.
I want this show to succeed but this idea of putting politics in is not the way to go. It takes away from the fun of the escapism and putting aside the problems of the real world - even for just an hour. The shelf life of some of those political references won't last too long, but good writing and Superheroics will last forever.
How about just focusing on good story telling that grows Kara as a person and a hero for everybody, fighting the "bad guys" and moving the show forward.
I am hoping part two elevates beyond tonight's episode.
Knightsabre7 : I do not watch Agents of Shield so I have no opinion or input towards that show or your comments about the show.
My point is simply to drop the politics from Supergirl. It is unnecessary in advancing the storyline or building Kara as a hero. If I want one sided political rhetoric there are plenty of choices to tune in on a Monday night at 8pm to find it. I would rather have an hour of Super- entertaining escapism than politics at that time. The writers should really learn from the election and what is happening to ESPN. The country is just about evenly divided about political viewpoints. It is not smart to think insulting or alienating(pun intended) half of your perspective audience will help the ratings increase.
Keep in mind I am not advocating for political jabs and insults directed at the left or to promote right side views. I am saying NO POLITICS at all. Just write good stories with kick-ass action that make the viewers want more!
Exactly so. Well put!
