You Will Believe A Girl Can Fly
Made Of Fail friends, fans and fiends! Tonight on CBS at 8:30 EST is the premiere of SUPERGIRL! For the duration of Season One, your trusty Executive Producer will be joined by returning guest Cara Russell and new blood Jason Froikin to review the episodes as they air!
I selected Cara and Jason specifically for this project because the three of us met about seventeen years ago (holy CRAP we got old) on a Yahoo Groups mailing list (kids, ask your parents) about Peter David’s Supergirl comics. The three of us have been friends ever since, all because of our love for Supergirl.
We’re all looking forward to seeing our heroine make her small-screen leading role debut. We hope you watch along with us!
-Dayna

Cara “CK” Russell is an east-coast Canadian comiker and maker of things who likes to tell stories about cowboys and superheroes…and it’s all Supergirl’s fault. After a wee-Cara got into a box of vintage comics with a character she bore a distinctive resemblance to, and a certain movie made her believe a girl could fly, Cara found a bunch of people on the internet who herd shee liekd sprgrl and they liekd sprgrl 2. Thus began a long career of evil influence and enablement for all involved.
When not hiding from the burning disk in the sky in a fort made of comics and art, Cara can be found where coffee, cheesecake, and wi-fi are plentiful.
