  1. According to this Deadline article some of the CW shows may lose some episodes in order to be able to start production on the next season's earlier. Though the article does say that they are "on track to deliver their full orders". I assume this likely won't impact Supergirl since its in its last season. Unless maybe they want their crew/directors available earlier to work on other things. The article also mentions Supergirl is set to launch mid-season but still doesn't say what month.

  2. They occasionally make good points but it is true that there is too much underwritten clickbait. 

     

    According to a TVline article the crossover between Batwoman and Superman and Lois is cancelled. In it the Batwoman showrunner also mentions Supergirl. It's too bad we never got to see a Supergirl/Batwoman crossover.

  3. Screenrant has an article of The Flash's Barry and Iris and how they compare to other Arrowverse romances. I really disagree with his opinion on Alex/Kelly vs Alex/Maggie. Alex and Kelly are just as rushed as Maggie and Alex but with less chemistry. And I wouldn't call Kelly a strong addition to the show. She's the most underdeveloped character on Supergirl.

  4. According to The Direct Supergirl is casting a woman in their 20s/30s to play a "quirky yet powerful Alien witch" who will be "bent on revenge" against Kara and the superfriends. This is a series regular role. Interesting that what appears to be the villain of the season has not started filming scenes yet. I wonder if the early episodes will focus on something/someone else?

  5. Screenrant has an opinion article that argues that Alex's story should conclude with her adopting an alien child in season 6. I guess that would be ok if it happened in the series finale and/or as an epilogue but they should not make a big story about it. 

  6. According to deadline David Ramsay (John Diggle, Arrow) is returning to the arrowverse/DC universe to direct five episodes and guest star in five episodes (not sure if any are the same episodes). He will both direct an episode of Supergirl and guest star in an episode. I wonder if this will have anything to do with Nia's future in the arrowverse?

  7. I saw a tweet from one of the cast members and it does sound like they may have been surprised by the news. I wonder what made them decide a spinoff was preferable to allowing the show a 5 season or longer run? I don't know if I see a Painkiller show being much more (if at all) popular or profitable.

  8. I'm glad its getting a relatively long season because the cast is so big and there's still things from last season that need to be addressed or wrapped up. Though they should follow Arrow's example and sideline the less important supporting characters.

    According to Hollywood Northbuzz Chyler Leigh (Alex) is directing an episode this season. We will likely get a couple of episodes where Alex is absent or barely featured but its nice that so many Arrowverse cast members direct episodes. I think David Harewood directed two episodes last year.

  9. According to this Instyle article Melissa Benoist won't return to film the show until January. I wonder if they are going on a longer Christmas break or if they are filming 2 full months without her. The episodes do take longer to film under Covid restrictions so maybe she won't miss that much but it seems likely we will get some Kara light episodes early in the season.

  10. According to Hollywood North.buzz Supergirl starting filming this week and will have a 10 month shoot. It is now set to finish filming on August 6, 2021. If they are taking that long to film 20 episodes then I assume they must have a couple of breaks planned. I guess we probably won't see the finale until at least next September. 

     

    ETA: TVfanatic talks about want it wants to see in the final season.

    I've seen the suggestion that Alex adopts a kid in a few articles on the final season and I cannot disagree more. I don't see how that would make sense with where her life is right now. Also does no one remember how boring and cut off from the main story that Ruby plot in the second half of season 3 was? Just because she want one doesn't mean it needs to happen before the show is over. 

    Also can't disagree more with Andrea joining the Superfriends. We don't need another superhero and she is not interesting at all. The last thing we need in the final season is a focus on new characters. I'd rather she and William get pushed to the background while the show focuses on Kara Alex, J'onn, Brainy, Nia and Lena, in that order preferably. Don't really care about the others. 

    I do agree that Kara and William have little chemistry and he isn't who she should end up with.

  11. Its possible that, for whatever reason (scheduling? the show ending this year?), processing covid tests for the other shows was a higher priority. But I'll be worried if they don't start by the end of next week. 

    ETA:

    According to Lindsay B@lemon_buzz  Supergirl begins filming on Tuesday October 13th. 

  12.  The Flash started filming today and according to YVRShoots Legends of Tomorrow has also started filming but I haven't heard anything about Supergirl. I hope they aren't experiencing a big delay. I know the CW is not as cancellation happy as other networks but delays and trouble starting up again has killed some shows.

  13. I don't think its unusual for tv shows to have that much deleted scenes its just that often some of them still aren't included on the blu-ray for whatever reason. I can recall someone from another show talking about a deleted scene that never ended up being on the blu-ray for that show.

    Aw, this is sad. I had issues with the writing, but I still enjoyed the cast; and I thought they'd at least have a seventh season.

    I think a seventh season was probably a real possibility but Melissa's pregnancy, Covid delays etc. made a 6th final season more ideal. I don't think Mellissa was ever going to stay past season 7 though. I would have preferred season 7 as the end because it would be nice to have a final season that would be less impacted by covid restrictions. But with the way the pandemic has actually led to more sudden cancellations its great that they can plan out the final season and it will have a real ending.
