Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The last new fall show to find out its fate was Supergirl, but today she knows how many more episodes she is doing this season. CBS announced today that they picked up 7 more episodes from the superhero show, which is two short of the normal full season order. Normally, I would be concerned, but the positive family show (which I think is pretty much the only one they have) started later than all of the others. So it kind of makes sense why they would be doing a few less episodes. Although I think it is deserves more episodes than several of CBS’s other dramas and comedies. Please, Life in Pieces would’ve been cancelled if it was following the declining The Big Bang Theory. Seriously, who watching that unfunny comedy?

We know that Supergirl is The Bomb and tonight at 8p on CBS we find out how she handles bombs while babysitting her boss’ son Carter (Levi Miller).
When Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) goes out of town, Kara (Melissa Benoist) offers to take care of her son, who has a crush on Supergirl. Sounded like a good idea until someone targets Maxwell Lord’s companies with bombs. How will she handle being a nanny and Supergirl at the same time?
It will get really tough when someone plants a bomb at the airport and also on a train event that Lord is hosting at the same time. To make things even more complicated, Carter wiggles his way on to the doomed train. Which bomb will Supergirl choose? Will she put Carter’s life over all of the people at the airport? It is a tough decision and we will find out if she makes the right one. Either way, there will be consequences for her actions. You will have to tune in to see what that means in this exciting episode!

Then at 9p, Scorpion starts off with an intense ride through Los Angeles, so that Walter (Elyes Gabel) can pick up his parents, who he hasn’t seen in years because he doesn’t have a good relationship with him, at LAX. They flew in to say goodbye to Megan (Camille Guaty), who is close to the death. When they arrive at the hospital, someone is being rushed to the infectious disease ward.
Shortly after they get to Megan’s room, the hospital is put into lockdown and Scorpion is separated throughout the hospital. Walter, his parents, Paige (Katharine McPhee) and Sylvester (Ari Stidham) are in Megan’s room while Happy (Jadyn Wong) and Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are trapped in the cafeteria with another victim and a woman who is about to give birth. Since the hospital is on lockdown, they are all stuck where they are located. If they can’t leave their positions how are they going to stop the spread of this quick moving deadly virus?
Walter only wants to get back to the warehouse, so that he can work on something that might save his sister’s life, but he can’t leave the building. Happy finds a way to open the doors to their ward, so that Paige and him can try to stop the spread of the contagion. While doing so, they find themselves trapped in a room and they can’t get out. Now, all Walter wants to do is be with his sister before she dies.
Back down in the cafeteria, Toby is also trying to find a way to contain it and help a woman give birth. Just when he thinks he knows what the virus is, he realizes it is worse than they thought. It is even more deadly with no cure. It looks like this is not only the end for Megan, but for Scorpion too.
Will they be able to stop the virus before it kills them? Will Walter make it back to see his sister before it is too late?
Tonight’s episode is not only emotional because of Megan’s condition, but also because they are all on a race of time to stop something that appears to be unstoppable. I have to say that tonight’s episode is the best one of the show’s run, and they have done a lot of great episodes that keep us entertained from the beginning until the end. I don’t know if tonight’s show is so great because they added a lot heart to it due to Walter about to lose his sister and Sylvester is about to lose his new wife, but it doesn’t hurt. What will hurt are you eyes and nose because you will be crying a lot tonight. So have the tissues ready because you are going to need them during this spectacular episode.

Before Calista Flockhart was running a newspaper on Supergirl, she was a babysitter on Guiding Light. She looks the same now as she did when she was 24 in that 1989 episode.

If you are like me and you are still missing Constantine, then you can get a quick fix on tonight’s Arrow at 8p on The CW. The suspenseful episode will totally get your heart racing.
As we know, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) dug up sister Sara (Caity Lotz) from the grave and had her brought back to life. Sadly, it was not the Sara we knew and that is because she has no soul. Tonight, Constantine (Matt Ryan) will team up with Oliver (Stephen Amell) to get Sara back her soul. It will not be an easy task, but they are willing to risk it to save her. Will they all come out of this mission alive? You will just have to tune in to find out.
I am hoping the Big Wigs at The CW see how great Ryan is on the show, and decide to give Constantine a show of his own on their network. Or at the very least bring him back to Arrow a few more times. The chemistry between Ryan and Amell is dynamic and I would like to see it more often.

While almost every new show this season found that their second episode was not as good as their pilot, Supergirl‘s is actually so much better.
Kara (Melissa Benoist) is ready to be Supergirl, but tonight at 8p on CBS she finds out very quickly she isn’t. When there is a massive fire threatening an oil tanker, she blows on the flames but it only makes it worse. She decides to move the tanker, but it breaks apart and oil spills into the water. Now, everyone in National City hates her including her boss who wrote an article bad mouthing the superhero. When Kara asks Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) what advice she would have Supergirl, she says she would tell her to start out small and work her way up.
Taking that piece of knowledge to heart, she asks Wynn (Jeremy Jordan) and Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) to help her out. They listen to the scanners and she uses her superpowers on individuals as compared to planes and such.
All of this is helping her clean up her image and now Cat wants an interview with her. So much so, the newspaper honcho tells Jimmy to make it happen or he can go back to The Daily Planet. Will Kara do the interview and risk her boss finding out who she is?
To make matters even more complicated the Department of Extra-Normal Operations is testing her abilities out to see if she is ready for the job.
All of this leads to Supergirl meeting her Aunt Astra (Laura Benanti) and let’s just say it isn’t a happy family reunion. What happens when they meet? All I will say is you don’t want to miss it.
And this is only a few elements of the things that happen in this jam packed episode. It honestly feels like you are watching a 2 hour movie, in a hour. Even though that is a lot to get in the short amount of time, they make it work. It truly is an enjoyable hour of television that the whole family can watch together.
I think the reason why Supergirl connects with the audience the way that it does, is because it made with a lot of heart. There is also a genuine innocence to it and these days that is missing from a lot of shows. Those are just two of the many elements that make this show so super!
