    According to the streaming service synopsis, Jason Momoa stars as Baba Voss, the father of twins born centuries later with the mythic ability to see—who must protect his tribe against a powerful yet desperate queen who believes it’s witchcraft and wants them destroyed. Alfre Woodard also stars as Paris, Baba Voss’ spiritual leader.


    The series is going to begin this Friday, yeah, yeah.

    Yeah I've been seeing the commercials for this show on TV a lot. A very interesting concept. I love it when artist go in depth on the edge of imagination and originality like this. That's when I'm intrigued to give it a shot.

    Yeah, I know that "Veronica Mars" is inspired by the Nancy Drew character/books. During VM's original run, TV critics constantly compared the show to Nancy Drew & "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

    Anyways, through the first 3 episodes of "Nancy Drew", I'd say ND is just as dark (if not more) as VM. The big difference though is that VM is a more comedic show. VM can be labelled a dramedy.

    Supergirl's Tyler Hoechlin to Star in new Superman & Lois Lane series for The CW
    10/28/2019


    The Arrowverse is expanding yet again, and fans of the Man of Steel are going to be pretty thrilled about the latest addition.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, The CW is developing another spin-off series centred on Lois Lane and Clark Kent aka Superman, with Supergirl guest stars Elizabeth Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin set to reprise their roles.

    About darn time! I never understood why CW was so reluctant to give fans more A-list heroes, when you have iconic characters like Batman and Superman at your disposal it's frustrating having to settle for the "bargain" versions Batwoman and Supergirl.

    I grew up watching "Lois & Clark. The New Adventures of Superman", so I'm in. This is a great idea for The CW:



    I hope they can keep Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor.


    EDIT:

    Does this mean the end of "Supergirl"? "Supergirl" feels like a redundant show, if we're getting a new "Lois & Clark" show.

    Waner Brothers wouldn't give access to them because they didn't want to dilute the properties for the big screen. And, they were right. I have zero interest in a Flash movie. The show (at least the first two seasons) scratched that itch. Had there been no show, I'd be excited for a Flash film.

    It's started to look uncomfortable with the way the black male characters are on Supergirl so I stopped watching after the season premiere. Jonn Jones their black main character started off strong but over the seasons just got so... cringe-worthy. I have no idea what's going on now. lol.

    Jimmy Olsen on Supergirl is a victim of the low-budget format of superhero television. The reason that non-superpowered sidekicks and love interests were created in comic books was to bring the superheroes down-to-Earth because in comic books the heroes are in their costumes doing ridiculously over-the-top things 95% of the time. However, on shows like Supergirl, Flash and even on the Netflix Marvel shows, the heroes spend the bulk of their time not in costumes and not doing superhero things. At best we might see actual superhero action 25% of the time, the other 75% they are doing the down-to-Earth stuff that is supposed to be left for the sidekicks and love interests. So characters like Jimmy Olsen become extraneous.
