    She's Superman's Cousin!: And Other Supergirl Spoilers

    Canadagraphs has photos of the filming of episode 6x16 "Nightmare in National City" on his blog. Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, Jesse Rath and Katie McGrath were filming. 

    ETA: Apparently the director of 6x16 has posted about wrapping the episode. That means episode 6x17 will start filming next week.

    That was pretty good even if it was mostly a bottle episode. The ending felt a little rushed but I liked that Kara at least got a reunion hug with Alex. Though its too bad next week wasn't the mid-season finale. It would have been nice to have a whole episode with Kara back before the show went on its long hiatus.

    Overall, I would have liked Midvale episodes, but I'm just not a fan in general of retconning stuff... and... well..

    I do think one of Supergirl's biggest problems is its lack of attention to continuity and Crisis only made that worse. Even the original Midvale retconned some of what we knew about the Danvers sisters relationship from season one flashbacks.

    It's just I don't understand why you would have these sorts of episodes when we are almost at the end of Supergirl's tenure. It's a bit of a baffling decision, but I guess it was to give Melissa Benoist time off for her baby?

    Yes, Melissa Benoist was on maternity leave when these episodes were filmed.

    That could be it though she did use female pronouns to talk about Kara, Melissa and Lexie. I do think its way too late in the show's run to do that type of story for Alex and have it work but I can see the writers doing it. They love to do a socially relevant story even when it feels forced.

    They remember that the DEO exists and could help which was great. I wonder if Alex would've shown up if COVID hadnt happened (though I feel like it shouldn't stop since they film right next to each other but whatever).

    I loved that they mentioned Alex and the DEO. It would have been fun to see a mini crossover between the shows this season.

    The "Sara never liked to be alone" line felt a little fake. No, Sara likes sex and has fun with people. Not saying loneliness isn't a part of it, but it just didn't sound true. 

    I liked that Ava wasn't bothered by her hookup with Alex but that line did annoyed me too. 

    This retcon about Gary being an alien feels like a stretch even for this show but it was a fun episode.

    I think Supergirl actually started filming around the same time as many of the other Arrowverse shows. However, they started filming without Melissa Benoist, who didn't return until January. So her scenes in the Phantom Zone were filmed later than the other scenes in the episodes.

    They didn't say it could happen. Just that it's something they wish could happen. I don't see Supergirl getting any spin offs. Especially with Superman & Lois now on the network.

    I think your right and a Midvale show is not the spinoff I'd like to see even though I like the actresses. I think a few present day characters on Supergirl could work well on a spinoff or join another series but unfortunately it probably won't happen.

    I know that Kenny's death in the original timeline had brought Alex/Kara together. I hope they find another way to be brought together that isn't Kenny's death again. I did note the tension between the two, so it's clear Kenny not dying when he did kept their relationship very strained, but I hope they find another way because, goddamnit, I like Kenny! They're gonna totally make me like him even more and then he's going to die. I just know it.

    I don't know if we are supposed to think their relationship is strained in general or just at the moment because Alex is feeling resentful about not going to Europe. The one issue I had with Midvale is that it also was a bit of a retcon. The flashbacks in season one made it clear that Kara and Alex had already gotten closer before they were that age.

    I think Supergirl originally it wasn't supposed to premiere until the summer.  Superman and Lois got behind on filming due to a covid shut down so Supergirl is airing its first several episodes earlier than was originally planned. I like that we got to see some episodes in the spring even if it is annoying that we have to wait over 3 months for the rest of the season to begin airing.
