Saturn Girl On Supergirl!

I don't think anyone was truly surprised by the news from earlier this week about the Legion appearing on Supergirl this season. Between Mon-El last season and other Easter Eggs, I think most fans were expecting it.

Still, there is something thrilling about it being verified by the CW. Just a couple of days ago word that Amy Jackson will appear on the show as Saturn Girl hit the internet. Here is one of many links, this one from the DC website:http://ift.tt/2xBHhmm

And here are some blurbs from that article.

Hailing from the sixth planet of our solar system, the one and only Saturn Girl will be arriving in National City this season on the hit CW series. Played by Bollywood star Amy Jackson, Saturn Girl will mark the U.S. debut of the British born actress.

Interestingly, Mon-El—who appeared on last season— is also affiliated with the Legion of Super-Heroes, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll play a role in Saturn Girl’s arrival. As for Jackson, she began her career as a model before going on to establish herself as one of India’s most in-demand leading ladies, appearing in Bollywood hits  i & Theri. Along with being her first appearance on American TV, Supergirl also marks Jackson’s super hero debut.

I can't imagine that Saturn Girl will be the only Legionnaire who makes it onto the show. It may be that Imra appears on one episode and the rest of the team appears later. I keep thinking the team as a whole are a late season plot point. But this is exciting. As a huge Supergirl and Legion fan, this is unbelievable and fantastic!

I don't know much about Jackson but she certainly is strikingly beautiful. It sounds like she is a very good actress/star as well. If anyone has seen any of her work, please let us know.

I think red and pinks suit her so I can't wait to see what her costume looks like.

I don't know if I am ready for a brunette Saturn Girl but that is a quibble. Live action Legion! Nothing else really matters.

 And can we get this outfit?

Pretty please?

And as I said, we suspected the Legion would end up showing up on the show. Last season on Supergirl we had a lingering shot of the Legion ring in the Fortress of Solitude. Between that and Mon-El, how could be not have them eventually show up.

 But I'll also remind people that the first time we saw the Legion ring in the Berlanti-verse was on the Flash two seasons ago when Barry was running through time/dimensions. It was in that sequence we also spotted Supergirl (then on CBS) which indicated we were looking at one multiverse.

I feel like this is my time. Supergirl and the Legion on live action television in a hit show. What more could I ask for?
