I had recorded the premier episode of this show and I had high hopes. It’s produced by Berlanti who is doing ARROW and THE FLASH, but this one didn’t work so well for me. The young actress playing Kara is appealing though for those of us devoted Arrow watchers she seemed like a version of Felicity. Perky, talkative, a bit insecure. I liked the changes to Jimmy… James Olsen. I was glad they’re not spending a lot of energy on trying to keep her identity secret....

I like movies. I like to go out to the movies. So today I went to the movies. A lightning strike had fried my old modem so I headed out to Best Buy to buy a replacement.
