Supergirl Season 1: 10 Big Questions Following 'Pilot'

by Andrew Pollard

1. Can It Get Better?

Whilst many were expecting Supergirl to possibly be a bit of a stinker (me included), I€™d say that the majority of viewers will have been massively impressed by the pilot episode. The tone, action, humour and chemistry of the show worked fantastically well in this debut episode, and that hopefully bodes well for the rest of the season. The big question, though, is whether it can maintain that standard and even dare to top it. The CW€™s Arrow, itself a DC-based show, had a so-so first few months before going on to become must-see TV, and The Flash hit the ground running and has never looked back. As such, it€™ll be interesting to see where Supergirl goes from here and if it goes from strength-to-strength or whether it has a few wobbles here and there. It certainly appears that many of the chess pieces are in the right place to make this a strong show as it develops, but there's also plenty of potential minefields dotted along the way. Regardless, an impressive debut episode has certainly got expectations high for this new series going forward. So, what did you think of Supergirl's debut then, and what burning questions were you left with as we saw the launch of Kara Zor-El's days of heroism? Take to the comments to share your thoughts.
