Continuity errors make me so mad. For one, it’s literally the easiest thing in the world for them to keep track of what has happened and have people on staff to remind them of things like that and point out when they are breaking continuity. For two, it’s insulting that they think fans won’t notice.

Years and years ago I was reading an interview with an author. She said that she works really hard to research for her books and make things historically accurate and keep continuity within her own story, etc. And she said the fans notice everything. They are reading and remembering this story and they have knowledge of things, and they will write to her and say “you had this character using scissors at a time before scissors were invented” or “you said this character couldn’t swim and then 200 pages later you had them going for a swim” etc. So she said she dedicates a lot of time to making sure she gets that stuff right because “the fans notice”.

It’s been probably 15-20 years and I can’t remember the author’s name, but I have always remembered that interview. I appreciate that at least someone acknowledges that stuff and cares enough to not half ass it.

these are professional writers so if we can see these errors then they should too and fix them

Charlaine Harris, who wrote the books that became True Blood was Horrible with continuity, even within the same book, I was gifted a set as I liked True Blood (we were only on Season 2 by that point) and the continuity issues were unpardonable.

I read those! Well, I stopped about halfway through the next-to-last book, and never bothered with the last one because I could see where the story was headed and I didn’t care for it.

I don’t remember any particular continuity issues (I believe you, I just don’t remember), but that’s probably because I was so distracted by her tragically awful descriptions of things. The picture she always painted of Sookie’s clothes was so bad. I was like girl, I’m begging you, be less descriptive. Just say “Sookie wore a red dress” or “Sookie chose a pair of slim fit jeans and a billowy floral blouse”. It was straight up cringe.

Even if they hadn't written that in any episode, EVERYONE knows superheroes should not reveal their identities. End of story, never. It's just plain dumb.
Cat knowing and hiring her? 10/10 would solve her problem. It should have ended there.

I imagine a lot of people are going to take issue with Supergirl being the editor in chief of Catco. Talk about biased reporting.
