Trini March 17, 2019 Share March 17, 2019 Another interview with Cryer: Quote “My first question was, ‘Why Me?'” Cryer said. “They had to assure me that that would become clear when the script was written. … I was very excited about working with Katie McGrath, and I love the whole story that they’ve set up for the season. I felt like Lenny was a branch on the family tree that fell off pretty early and was rotting on the ground for a long while. I feel like this was my chance to reclaim it and do it a little more justice — or injustice, as it were.” https://tvline.com/2019/03/16/supergirl-season-4-jon-cryer-interview-lex-luthor-casting-explained/ Link to comment
Trini March 17, 2019 Share March 17, 2019 More quotes from Cryer and the producers on Lex Luthor: Quote “Lex is a sociopath,” Cryer says, not mincing words. “He’s an actual sociopath, but he does have a link he can’t break with Lena. Also, to some degree, he gets that she’s got an incredible gift as an intellect and as a scientist. So, his narcissism kicks in and he can find that to love about her. He understands that she’s a formidable person, and I do think his really twisted family history does come into play.” https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2019/03/15/lex-appeal-supergirls-take-on-the-character-is-the-most-shocking-yet Link to comment

Trini March 31, 2019 Share March 31, 2019 Interview with Katie McGrath about recent events on Supergirl, plus some teases: Quote “I missed working with Melissa [Benoist] and Chyler [Leigh],” Katie McGrath tells TVLine. “I missed the power you feel from having these very strong — yet slightly opposing — women coming together, putting everything aside to solve the problem at hand. They’ve all got very different strengths and skills, and it’s been a while since you’ve seen them all working together.” Of course, the complicated (and ever-changing) relationships between the three characters made their scenes together “a bit confusing,” McGrath admits. “It’s like, ‘I know Kara is Supergirl, but Lena doesn’t know that. And now poor Chyler, on top of everything, has to add in, ‘Oh, I’ve lost my memory, so I also don’t know she is.’ All three of us just stood around trying to figure everything out.” But McGrath isn’t complaining. In fact, she finds it “gratifying” that Alex has temporarily had her memory swiped. “I always get asked, ‘Lena’s so smart. How does she not know Kara is Supergirl?’ So now I get to say, ‘Look, if her sister can’t tell the difference, I think you should let up on poor Lena.'” 1 Link to comment

shantown June 18, 2019 Share June 18, 2019 It'll be interesting to see if the promo for the show stays darker (even just in terms of color palette) to match BW. SG has been one of the lighter shows (in terms of color and tone) of the Arrowverse so it'll be an interesting matchup between the two! 1 1 Link to comment
angora June 18, 2019 Share June 18, 2019 shantown, I was just about to say it's funny that they had to make National City so cloudy to make the Supergirl picture go with the Batwoman picture. Like you said, it's always been a lighter show in both tone and color, and framing the promo like the two are a matched set kind of makes Kara feel like a kitten trying to be edgy. Unless the dark skies are some sort of Crisis precursor? If that's the case, I'll allow it. 1 Link to comment

Oreo2234 July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 The writers never really had a handle on the character. In retrospect they probably would have done him a favor if they let him go in season 2. I'm sure there are better things ahead for Mehcad. Link to comment

mommalib July 21, 2019 Share July 21, 2019 (edited) I hope Mechad sees bigger and better things. The writers really did the character and actor a disservice. He was screwed when the show moved to the CW and the show runners decided to break him and Kara up out of the blue with little explanation and he was pretty much sidelined for the most part after that. I guess his racist haters in the fanbase will be happy. This reminds me of Dolls leaving Wynonna Earp. Another black male character that was underdeveloped.

Trini July 21, 2019 Share July 21, 2019 This was funny; and I'd love to see the Supergirl cast cross over to the other shows more often: Link to comment
