Welcome to the Legion!

Last night’s premiere of the new CBS series Supergirl was well-received across the board if Twitter is to be believed. Our recapper Christina Janke absolutely loved it. (Read her recap and review here.) Star Melissa Benoist appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night to talk about the show. When Colbert talked about the show being feminist, Benoist had a wonderful response.

I admit I wasn’t sold on this at all from the trailers, but I have to say, I’m totally in now. Check out what she had to say below about the show and living her life in a “living, breathing Comic-Con” forever. Let us know what you thought of the premiere in the comments.
