Supergirl Season 1


I really didn't have any intention of reviewing this show, but now that the season has ended and I have had time to think about this show I can't get it out of my mind. I really liked this show and I am so happy to see a show out there that proves girls can kick ass just as much as men can. At this point I can only hope for a second season. This last episode left things hanging with a decent cliffhanger so not only do I want to know what is going to happen next, but I want more of the show, the characters, and the action. 

Supergirl has a a level of cheese factor but it is in the best way. Supergirl is supposed to be cheery and optimistic. She is new to the whole Superhero thing so it makes sense that she still has the bubbly optimism instead of the jaded cynic most older super heroes seem to become. So when it comes to casting the bubbly superhero I have to say that Melissa Benoist is perfect for this role. I have to be honest that I have never seen her in anything before Supergirl but I really liked the way she portrayed the character. I was impressed from the very first image I saw from the show when it first started to get going.

There are some great casting choices in this series that for me really made this fun to watch. This show brought characters to the "real world" that had only been done in the cartoons or comics. This season has had characters like Livewire, Silver Banshee, Maxwell Lord, and my favorite, Martian Manhunter. Martian Manhunter was really cool and the first time he transformed from Hank Henshaw into the Martian Manhunter I had goosebumps all over. We also get a take on Bizzaro and Supergirl affected by Red Kryptonite. Everyone cast for this show was perfect in their role. I will admit that in the beginning I didn't like the guy they chose for Jimmy Olsen. Jimmy Olsen is a nerdy lanky freckle faced kid who you expect to still have his voice crack and not this tall strong confident man of the world. Over time Mechad Brooks grew on me.

When this show started I really wanted this to do well, but mainly because DC has been dominating television with some great shows "Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, iZombie, Lucifer and of course Gotham". The more episodes I watched of this show the more I couldn't wait for Mondays. I have bought several episodes of this season on iTunes and when I get the price down low enough I am just going to buy the whole season. I just checked tvline.com's Renewal Scorecard and it says Supergirl Season 2 is a sure thing but it hasn't been renewed yet. Here is hoping that they not only get a second season but many more in the future.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
