CptBloodner

A very lovely show. Sometimes a little too innocent and too romantic, but a further nice facet of the DC universe. The characters and their relationships with each other make good developments during the first season: At the very beginning the struggling of Supergirl with her new role, followed by the ups and downs in her relationship to her sister, the difficult process of trusting Hank/J'onn again after he kills her aunt and even the increasingly non-professional labour-relation with the marvelous Cat Grant. In fact she is the character I love most in the show. She can be so cold heartet, calculating and a horrible boss, but everytime she's needed to, she becomes like a mom/good friend to Kara and offers a lot of worldly wisdom. And on top she does not take fright in having on her colleagues, the media itself and a lot of real-life persons/stars/organizations. Everytime she is on the screen, it's absolutely worth the time.

Although I only started watching it to be able to understand the crossover episodes with Arrow and The Flash ("Invasion!"), I was totally astonished what I had missed up till now. It's definitely the most diversified one of all DC series. No wonder - time travelling opens up even more possibilities regarding the narrative material than the multiverses in The Flash offer already. Especially the various episodes playing in the wild west and the ones dealing with the younger history of the 20th century (60s/70s/90s) really are standing out. By watching you will meet a lot of old acquaintances from the other series and some small story gaps will be filled up with nice details. Finally, although I totally fell in love (again) with Sara as captain of the Waverider I still hope that we will meet again with Cpt. Rip Hunter someday!

Very exciting show - unfortunately now caught in a copy-trap.
The first season was breathtaking and very addictive. I really loved the two parallely evolving timelines and the fact that more or less every episode a new suspect with a strong motive shows up, just to be ruled out in the next episode (culminating in a big twist at the end). The fact that the two timelines covered the training and the actual work of the FBI agents, really brightens up the show, creating sometimes a little (but not too much) confusion and mind work for the watcher.
Unfortunately all the innovation got lost with the transition from season 1 to season 2. Exactly the same concept has been put in a new context - there is another terrorist attack, the main character is trapped in the middle of everything again, the flashbacks cover training again (this time at the CIA training facility) and there is again foul-play behind the scenes of the agency. Thus the first episodes have not been very captivating, mainly because there is still no clue on what the agenda of the terrorists might be. The viewer hasn't really had a chance to use his brain during the process and develop theories on his own because there are no hints on this topic at all. Maybe that's the whole point of this season, but the first one made things much better on this front. Also the characters at the training facility evolved very slowly this time, but at the moment (S02E05) things finally begin to speed up - let's hope the show will gain momentum now and will find to a good end.
