While I like the series (first series I watch on the day it comes out) as a whole, there are to many times I facepalm how 'Supergirl' is portrayed/acts. The character just often doesn't behave like any 24 year old female I know, it makes the character often unbelievable and that is a shame imho. I liked how Smallville was called 'Smallville' instead of Superman, the first episode was even for me "This kinda reminds me of Superman..." (was never a big fan of Superman as a Comic). I liked how Clark Kent was presented as a kid with superpowers, hell at the age when the series started (just turning 16), Superboy would have been apt.
Kara comes across as a clumsy and uncertain, as a cover that might be fine, but it's not an act. She shoots laser beams out of her eyes for crying out loud! Flies and is pretty much indestructible. She grew up knowing who she is and what she can do, she choose not to do anything with it until her sisters life was in direct danger, that show a lot of dedication and self discipline, nothing like that is really evident in the series. A show about a strong female hero who isn't. (Yet?)
Kara vs. Kat is almost like two one dimensional characters that sometimes inflate to recognizable human beings...
