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

[Oreo2234]

Chyler Leigh (Alex) talks with The Wrap about the mid-season finale.

[legaleagle53]

This is too good not to share. It's the promo for 6x08, and it's going to be fun seeing Zor-El trying to blend in as a human while working at Catco!  

 

[Oreo2234]

David Ramsey (Arrow's John Diggle) talked with Entertainment Weekly about his guest appearances on various Arrowverse shows this year. He also talked about the Supergirl episode he directed and is guest starring in.

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.

Sorry I don't know how to link to the direct source, but apparently Mehcad Brooks is in Vancouver, and Azie posted a video of him on set on her instagram; so it looks like James will make an appearance in the series finale.

That's great; I hope they are able to get as many former cast as they can.

Not sure how long ago this was updated, but I'm pretty sure this is a new synopsis for Season 6; from CW's PR page for Supergirl:

 

Have we heard anything about the new villains? So far it's only been the Phantoms and Nxy.

And it's notable that Staz Nair isn't in the list of regulars, even though his name is still in the opening credits.

I just came in and saw this. William may be in the regular cast, but he's not really part of the SuperFriends who were listed; as was alluded to, he's more like Lois Lane back in the "OMG I can't let her find out my secret identity!" days.

As someone who admittedly watches the show to see an attractive blonde solving problems with fantastical powers and violence, the synopsis does not fill me with hope.

That synopsis is so vague, generic, and cliche-ridden  that I read it as applying to the entire final season, not just to the back half. I wouldn't read too much into it regarding anything specific planned for the show's return on August 24.

Helen Slater (Eliza) also posted about returning for the finale.

Canadagraphs posted a blog with pictures from the filming of episode 19. Most of the main cast was present and Jon Cryer and Brenda Strong were there.

[Trini]

Ugh - Jon Cryer is good, but I'm tired of seeing Lex. They should have just had him go to prison and moved on.

[Oreo2234]

I like the actors but I was hoping to see less of the Luthors in the last season. I think the show has done a lot with them in the last couple of seasons. I wish we would see more of Kara/Alex and J'onn but I feel like that won't happen. 

[Oreo2234]

TVline has the trailer for the rest of season 6. 

[Oreo2234]

Found out about a pretty major spoiler from the Supergirl set today.

 

 

They shot a funeral scene. There are pictures of Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood, Katie McGrath and Julie Gonzalo on set dressed in black.  Other cast that were seen on set include Chyler Leigh, Nicole Maines, David Harewood, Azie Tesfai, Jesse Rath, Jeremy Jordan, and Mehcad Brooks.

 I'm not sure who would have died to bring all of them together for the funeral. Maybe they have the cast member whose character is dying on set to avoid spoiling it? Other productions have done things like that. Though I don't know if the CW cares that much about spoiling these things.

:(

I hope no one from the past or present cast is dying! It's not that kind of show. But if I'm forced to take a guess, Cat Grant? Kara's Dad?

Cat Grant was the first person I thought of too, but Kara's Dad is a good guess. I have a hard time believing they will kill off one of the core characters - maybe if the show was continuing, but I don't see why such a glass-half-full show would make such a depressing series finale.

[Oreo2234]

Maybe its William. Apparently Katie McGrath and Julie Gonzalo did a scene today where William's name was on a plaque in a foreign language. It looked like he might be getting a school named after him.

I agree. It really wouldn't fit the tone of the show to kill off one of the major characters in the finale.

I will laugh forever if the only memorable thing the character ever does is die in the finale

[Trini]

I guess he's the most expendable, but I don't want William to die either. Especially if they're still going forward with him as Kara's love interest.

Or maybe the funeral is a fake out? Like, a character is leaving (Earth?) and their "death" is the  explanation for their absence.

[Oreo2234]

They shot a big scene today for the finale with all of the current heroes and some returning characters like Mon-el, James,Winn and Eliza.

I heard David Harewood, Chyler Leigh and Nicole Maines have all finished filming their last scenes in their superhero suits.

Knowing that she can make a difference, Kelly embraces her power and fully steps into her role as Guardian. Joined by Supergirl, Alex (Chyler Leigh), Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) and team, Guardian leads the way to restoring justice to the fallen community.

The synopsis also makes no sense.  Kelly is fed up and Supergirl is too busy to help out.  Therefore, she'll step up and lead a team that.... includes Supergirl.  So I guess she really wasn't that busy after all.  Especially because the best solution to an overwhelmed hospital is to go out and punch people.  It's OK to leave them in the street if they're baddies. 

[Oreo2234]

I thought the same thing when I read the synopsis. But the synopsis' for Supergirl sometimes don't accurately describe the episode.

Presumably, Supergirl initially blows Kelly/the hospital off, but then comes around and helps out in the end.

Again, considering that Kara could within a few hours airlift the entire set of patients to hospitals across the country, or rebuild the imploded hospital in National City, or probably do a half-dozen things I haven't thought of, the notion that Kara is too preoccupied/busy to help with a simple task is not a great look. I don't mind highlighting issues, but would prefer that they didn't do it at the expense of either taking time from the main character, or making her look incompetent or indifferent, or sometimes all of the above.

SUPERGIRL MUST PASS THE TEST OF COURAGE - Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and team race Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) for control of a magical totem that controls courage. Supergirl and Nyxly battle and each get a piece of the totem but learn the first person to pass the test of courage will gain control of the entire thing. Meanwhile, Lena (Katie McGrath) is still struggling to make sense of her newfound gift.

Well, unfortunately they're not willing to make him do something more interesting by exploring the Green Lantern ring, so the original (black) Arrowverse sidekick has to give pep talks to his successors.  He kind of did the same with John Henry Irons too.

I know some people want this, but why would any of the shows fulfill Arrow's teases when they have their own plots to worry about? Unless they're making Diggle/Ramsey a regular cast member and have DC's approval, it's going to be nothing but cameos and more teasing anyway.

That being said; the next best chance for Diggle Green Lantern is the 'crossover' on The Flash in November. It's showrunner seems more into this than the rest.
