Primal Slayer January 22, 2020 Share January 22, 2020 Yikes at Winns LoSH outfit... If all they are going to do is use COIE as an excuse to dump a bunch of doppelgangers on us....I'm going to be so annoyed. This should've been happening pre-COIE, not post. 3 Link to comment
Oreo2234 January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 (edited) Looks like we will see Alex (or more likely a doppelganger) as a superhero. Chyler Leigh posted a photo of herself in a super hero costume. It's a lot like Kara's (with the S symbol) but black and blue. Here is a link to an article on it. As Primal Slayer said it is weird that they are doing all this doppelganger stuff when the characters think there isn't multiverse anymore. ETA: Helen Slater and the actress who plays young Alex will be back in an episode this season. I don't know if the young Kara actress is returning.

Trini January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 Other 5.11 photos here: https://supergirl.tv/back-from-the-future-part-1-gallery His suit is ... fine. But I'm wondering if they are adapting a LoSH comic character for his hero persona, or if he's just Winn with tech(?) powers. I wonder why they didn't put out any photos of ToyMan Winn? - not a big deal, though. Awkward - Nia and Brainy still have to work together after their breakup. Okay, so maybe Leviathan is the bigger threat, but Brainy (and everyone else) still remember that Lena tried to change the brains of the entire planet, right? And they know that Lena is still salty, so they should be keeping an eye on her, right? I know asking for things to make sense is a lot, but still. 1 Link to comment
Trini January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 Yeah, this is a lot of doppelgangers for a show that doesn't usually have them. I like seeing doppelgangers, but yeah.

According to CBR a new headquarters for the super friends called the Tower will be built by J'onn as the Luthors takeover the DEO. I assume we'll see DEO employees Alex and Brainy there sometimes too. I wonder if they will still be working for the DEO by the end of this season? Quote I should have guessed giving Alex powers would happen eventually; but they have liked keeping her a regular human to contrast with Kara. If that is actually Alex and not a doppelganger then I doubt it will last long. I don't see them giving Alex powers permanently, especially if there similar to a Kryptonian.

Oreo2234 January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 (edited) On social media there is a video of Chyler Leigh filming at a mall in the superhero costume. She appears to do a super hero landing (so she flies) on a stage that says Rick Starman in concert and it looks like she talks to a reporter. ETA: I just noticed Winn is wearing a wedding ring. Will we meet his wife? I think we might see the new hangout in the promo pics. If that is it then I hope they spruce it up a bit, because it just looks like an unimpressive abandoned warehouse. I read some speculation that Superhero Alex actually might be the result of a merge between Kara and Alex. The costume combines elements of both of their suits and the haircut (and lipstick) is similar to Kara's. Edited January 23, 2020 by Oreo2234 1 Link to comment

Oreo2234 January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 Its believable enough that Alex could disguise her identity by simply wearing a long haired wig and different makeup.

It looks small enough to be a wedding ring, but it could also be his Legion ring. He has another ring on his other finger, but that one doesn't look like a Legion ring. So if the one on his right hand is his Legion ring, then the one of his left is a wedding ring. Link to comment
Oreo2234 January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 (edited) I forgot about the legion rings. It looks like a wedding ring but I guess it could be a legion ring. Another explanation for Super Alex is that Kara ends up in Alex's body but retains her powers. In the video I saw she posed and folded her arms a lot like Kara does. I kinda hope that isn't the case. I think Kara mostly doing what she normally does in her sisters' body is less interesting then Alex dealing with powers and the stuff that comes with it.

Looking back over key moments throughout the series, Kara must decide if she wants to change history to become friends with Lena again. Familiar faces return in this special episode.

Original airdate 2/23/2020. ------ Alternate timelines are fun for me, but I feel like I'm going to end up confused again like with the Andrea/Arcata backstory episode, because this show is only so deep for me and the history is not that important.

The Kara/Lena relationship is the setup, but the description makes it seem like they’re going to revisit events/storylines that were important to Kara from the past 5 seasons. I’d hope Alex/J’onn are a substantial part of that. And Jeremy Jordan will still be around for the episode. Though the Arrow and Flash 100th episodes ignored things I thought were important to the series, so who knows. Kara already feels bad that Lena was hurt by this whole thing. I hope this episode doesn’t pile on Kara, but puts some of the onus of this whole mess on Lena too. 2 Link to comment
Oreo2234 February 13, 2020 Share February 13, 2020 (edited) Some set photos from the current episode filming (maybe 5x18) show Melissa Benoist (Kara) and Nicole Maines (Dreamer) filming. Apparently Jesse Rath (Brainy) was there too and filmed a scene with Nicole Maines. The set appears to show that the DEO is destroyed. There is a bunch of rubble surrounding the DEO Symbol that is on its floor. I wonder if this is permanent. Assuming Chyler Leigh is returning what exactly are they going to do with Alex? I don't think anyone wants her in a job where she won't be involved in the action. ETA: Update from @ThemysciraBound on twitter. Chyler Leigh (Alex) is now on set.

So I don't blame him for wanting to hang out with them for a little while before going home -- and because he's a time-traveler now, it won't matter how much time he spends in 2020, because he can return to 3020 and arrive just a minute after he left if he wants to, so he'll never even be missed at home! 1 Link to comment

Another thing that bothers me about the 100th episode being centred around Lena is that there is no easy way to bring in anything from season one.

Yeah. Granted, she isn't filming anything else right now that I'm aware of, but she doesn't need to and apparently doesn't want to. When she does film, however, her rates start in the six figures. Meanwhile, Marc Guggenheim noted as a casual aside that the Arrowverse is currently paying - or at least trying to pay - $5000 per guest appearance for 1 - 5 days of shooting. If it's over 5 days of shooting, that would inch up, but still be under $11,000. Presumably that's at least somewhat negotiable, but even "somewhat negotiable" is still well below her usual rates. Add in that she's on record as preferring Los Angeles to Vancouver, and I don't expect to see her until the series finale, if then. 1 Link to comment

BaggythePanther March 10, 2020 Share March 10, 2020 I saw this posted a little over a week ago: I didn’t realize David was directing again until I saw this. Since Melissa and Katie are working together I hope this means Kara and Lena have at least made peace. I’m curious if something has happened to Kara’s powers, because why would Kara need to take a bus? I’ll be very disappointed if no one brings up that time Kara told Lena she flew to LCorp, on a bus. 1 Link to comment
