    This came straight from John Wesley Shipp's page: Superman has been cast for S2 of Supergirl.

    Tyler Hoechlin won the role. Can't say I've ever heard of him. I was sort of hoping for Tom Welling, but considering I haven't even seen Supergirl yet, I guess I don't have much room to talk, lol

    @Master_Dahark, I'm waiting for CW to announce that they're doing a Batman live-action show in the Arrowverse, just to complete the set. I'd love to see a gritty Batman show in the style of Netflix's Daredevil done, with the same kind of fight choreography, grungy cinematography, strong writing and focus on a corrupt and hellish city being wrestled back from the edge by Bruce. One can dream...

    I tried watching Supergirl, and I managed 5 episodes before the gee golly-ness broke me. I did later pop back in for the Flash crossover, before dropping out again. To save me watching another Supergirl episode, she could guest star in a Flash episode, i'd be fine with that.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I would love that!
    Besides, if they're doing 'Flashpoint' for season 3 of The Flash, they're going to piss a lot of people off if they don't include Batman somehow.
    Now that we've got a TV Superman, a Batman shouldn't be out of the question- if nothing other than a cameo on Flash or Arrow.

    Continuity would be vastly different from the comics, but what they could do, is have Bats show up in Flashpoint, and at the end of the season Barry could make it back home and realize there must be a Batman in his world somewhere too. I know we're talking about Thomas vs Bruce but Barry wouldn't necessarily know that.

    And boom, Season 4 could have Batman in it!

    @Master_Dahark, I love that solution to get Batman in there! You could even have him debut on Arrow when there's a break in at Queen Industries and it's really just Batman scoping up what he's got going on there, or you could have Bruce wanting to buy up some of QI's R&D department.

    I'm now trying to think of people I'd love to see do a TV live-action Batman, which would actually be the first since Adam West in over 50 years! Crazy to imagine.

    Just off the top of my head, I think Matt Bomer would be great, if he hit the gym and packed on more muscle, which he isn't a stranger to doing.

    For anyone notblown away by Tyler Hoechlin's debut pic as Superman, take another look at him on set-- he looks WAY better.
    Whoever took that promo pic didn't do him any favors!

    He certainly does look the part! I always thought he looked like a younger Timothy Dalton too.
    Interestingly enough, he was nearly Superman in a couple movies that never got off the ground, and eventually did portray him in a Japanese commercial for Prius, and voiced him in an Animated movie

    Season one of 'Narcos': Fantastic.

    Up to the last few episodes of 'Bloodline' right now, it's getting very intense.
    If you love Narcos then you must watch Gommorah TV series, both 2 seasons worth.. You won't be disappointed. I personally think both Narcos and Gommorah are the best of the best of what television has to offer right now.

    Just finished my Gotham catch up. Really good stuff, for me. Started of a bit so-so but I think it's now hit its stride and has turned into a very good series. After the end to Season 2, Season 3 can't come quick enough.

    @Shark_Of_Largo, I caught all of season one of Gotham, then saw only three episodes of 2 before the story decisions drove me off it. It got much better, then?

    The main draws for me are watching Bruce, Alfred and Gordon, but mostly Bruce and how he's developing. Is it worth me checking out the rest of the season going on that? Will I feel it's worth it?

    I started watching Sherlock's other side of the coin, which would be Elementary, with Johnny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Watson. I have to admit, despite a biased opinion years before, I watched three episodes so far and I'm really enjoying it.

    Imagine a crossover between Cumberbatch's Holmes and Miller's Holmes. That'd be hell of a vehicle!

    My daughter got me into American Horror Story via 'Asylum'. Now caught up on the first four seasons, with a fifth due on Netflix soon.

    It isn't so much the concept, or the fact it's horror, but the idea of different stories each season but with the same ( more or less) cast in different roles. The idea of a repertory company ( a sort of serious Carry on gang) interests me.

    And of course Jessica Lange is the ultimate cougar.

    Homeland Season 5

    This show continues to impress. After a minor misstep in Season 3 as it wrapped up the popular Brodie sub-story, it reinvigorated itself in Season 4, and the latest Season is more of the same.

    It features excellent location work, tense relevant story lines, & wonderful acting by all concerned.

    This is certainly this decade's 24, and I look forward to many more seasons. Along with House of Cards, it is currently my favourite American tv show.

    MILLENNIUM

    Bought the boxset a couple years ago, only started rewatching now. The Carter show, not the Swedish nonsense. This is pretty dark.

    It's technically not a show, as its story is made up of a series of 1 1/2 hour films, but I've been watching a series called Jack Taylor recently, now streaming on Netflix.

    These films are what you get when you take the unmatched culture and beauty of coastal Galway, Ireland and layer it over with the noir conventions of a cynical antihero, gumshoe narration and storylines depicting moral grays and existential crises. I expected to like these films, but never this much. They take such a surprising and beautiful spin on noir mechanics and conventions to really deliver up something special, all with the very talented and charming Iain Glen as the private eye the center of it all. This is smart, sharp drama with brilliant dialogue, characters, mysteries and visuals that join together to create the best noir influenced modern day detective series I've seen since Luther. Detective Jack Taylor also joins the long line of clever detectives in nice coats like the aforementioned DCI John Luther and Sherlock Holmes, which seems to be the go-to style of any modern investigator worth their salt.

    Been on a Three's Company binge recently, and there's never a moment when it ceases to be pure gold. Certainly my favorite sitcom from the 70s and 80s era, and John Ritter was a master of physical comedy.

    Alan Patridge Mid morning matters series 2.

    Alan Partridge... Scissored absolutely hilarious Partridge just gets better.

    Scream season 2 not as tightly written as the first season though still good, the killer was made quite obvious midway through the series. Good to see its been green lit for a third series and also a two hour Halloween special.

    Ripper Street Ep 1 Season 4.

    Great show, roll on the drama!!

    X Files season 10 gave it another go, stupid though entertaining

    The Tick and Jean Claude Van Johnson pilot episodes, both look interesting, the latter I laughed more than I thought I would very meta. Hope they both get a series.

    I LOVED Van Johnson!! I didn't even know it was a TV show till the credits rolled after half an hour, lol. I thought it was just his newest direct to video movie!

    The Tick, however, I struggled to finish. I never saw the older live action show but grew up with the cartoon. The Tick seems more logical in animated form to me.
    It did get bonus points for having Darth Maul's voice actor in the title role however

    Love a bit of Jack Taylor but Luther is just preposterous nonsense, I don't think they are comparable one bit, far more charm in Glen's Taylor.

    Luther is so morose and reminded me of Criminal Minds in that it's always trying to outdo it's unpleasantness. Women are always victims and the plots just get more and more silly.

    Sorry Idris is superb in The Wire and I quite liked Luther to start with but as it went on it just got sillier and sillier.

    Also Guy Pierce's Jack Irish is good fun if you like Taylor, the difference here is there is humour and warmth just like Jack Taylor whereas Luther is like poor man's Se7en.

    Luther seems pretty redundant when the UK is turning out quality like Happy Valley, now if you want a proper gritty but realistic crime drama I recommend that is far more worth your time.

    Luther is like the BBC trying to do a U.S drama in the UK, Elba's presense seems to have made it a hit over the pond but the fact it's regarded as gritty is hilarious.

    I assure you my country can make much better than this.

    The Tick actor has appeared in many UK comedy shows good spot though, the Tick looks ok though JCV JOHNSON needs to be a show for certain
    I got dragged in and was gutted for JC when he went to his ex's apartment at the end, his love for her kept him alive.

    I recently watched Mirror, Mirror. The Galileo Seven is a great episode, The remastered effects were the best on it. Actually that was the very first Star Trek episode I saw and what got me into Star Trek to begin with. :)

    The green nebula looks awesome in The Galileo Seven, one of many great episodes ST:OS is timeless. It's my go to show when I want inspiration and motivation.
