Oh my God that was hilarious

The bit when the badass super secret DEO agent tells her to get a cup of coffee?

What was that quote about Legally Blonde again?

EDIT: Found it

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kel ... 34324.html
Zero Dark Thirty contains:

The scene where our heroine arrives at the office with high hopes but gets a crummy desk in a crappy corner.

The scene where she wants to do something but the boss gives her a Huge File of Things to do first.

The scene where she steps on another woman's toes... but then they become friends.

The scene where she tells her boss if she doesn't get to follow her gut she's going over his head.

The scene where she goes to the big meeting but doesn't get to sit at the table... but speaks up anyway!

I'm not saying these things didn't happen in real life. I'm just saying they also happened in Legally Blonde II.

I rather enjoyed it. Looks to me to be part "Girl Power" superhero story and part "Lighter Side" of being a superhero in the shadow of "your cousin". I'll give it a try...provided it doesn't turn into a monster of the week gig like Smallville did. That killed the series for me.

Liked it a lot. The S shield needs work but nice touch going with the 'El family crest' angle. Too little and too early to tell much of anything, but so far this looks good.

Me, I like the idea of just having to not have to wait 3 years for a damn super story. I'll invest some time.

It reminds me of the SNL skit about a Black Widow movie and that ain't a good thing. Of course I'm not the intended audience probably being a dude but still, if they are going to the trouble of making a superhero tv show (even one that appeals to women) they could maybe make it a bit less generic. There are female comic fans, I'm sure they appreciate something that isn't a generic female drama with capes added.

That aside, that motherfucking underground base lair things. That is literally the one thing that actually pissed me off about this.

You want an underground base? Fine, you and me both brother. But it shouldn't be a literal cave with some computers stuck in it. Caves are damp, dirty, nasty affairs. Damp is isn't a great place to be working in day in and day out to say nothing of how well a bunch of computers and giant wall monitors are going to fare in that environment. And I'm sure having a bunch of stalactites and stalagmites that can fall on peoples heads or fall over is totally fucking safe.

That is the crap supervillains do. A supposedly secret group of unnecessarily racist and/or sexist good guys shouldn't be doing the same thing as dudes who occupation is being evil. Is their other base in an active volcano or on the freaking moon?

Didn't expect CBS to go the CW route, a little too cheesy, guess it's limited if not connected to the DC movieverse.

The DC movieverse so far is Man of Steel and if that project dies I won't shed a tear. I have no quarrels with the series being part of the Flash/Arrow TVverse.

This looks like something David E Kelley would cook up. I get the impression this is aimed at maybe teenagers rather than comic book fans per se. Doesn't mean it can't be good and I will most probably keep an eye out for it.
