I see it as either a Its A Wonderful Life scenario and Kara realizes she did make the right decision in keeping her identity to many a secret..

Possibly those contact thingiescatcwork again as well...

‘Supergirl’: Thomas Lennon To Recur As Mxyzptlk In CW Series

 

[flickchick85]

Yes! This is exactly what I was hoping - for Mxy to recur in the form of a different actor. No offense to the first guy, who was fine, but he wasn’t traditionally Mxy. And neither is Lennon, but that works if they just establish he can take whatever form he wants and will take a different form when he has different goals.

 

[Primal Slayer]

If he shows up on SM&LL I hope they go a more traditional route.

On the Crisis Aftermath show Mark Guggenheim talked about the Kara/Kate relationship becoming the replacement for Oliver/Barry for YEARS to come, love it when Supergirl is talked about in terms of years. For me it’s the little things we’re seeing that are making the relationship work. At Wayne manor when hot Luke pulled a gun on them bulletproof Kara stepped on front of Kate and when crazy Bruce pulled the Kryptonite Kate stepped on front of Kara. It was nice when Kara went to Kate with the beers and I chuckled when Kate asked if alcohol affected Kara and she said not really but I thought you could use a drinking buddy. Barry does the same for Oliver. It’s cool that Kate no questions asked hates Lex, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. Someone who’s more familiar please correct me but in the comics with Superman’s knowledge doesn’t Batman carry a bit of Kryptonite because they both know that the time may come when Superman needs to be stopped.

Yes he has a Lex Luthor's Kryptonite ring in the center of his belt. Superman gave it to him incase he ever needs to be stopped. Just like how Batman says incase he (Batman) ever needs to be stopped he can count on Superman since he knows Superman always hold back with him.

As Act 1, I feel this was not a strong setup as it had plenty of inconsistencies and plot holes.

Well, I sort of wish they could afford David Spade if they stick with this approach.

‘Supergirl’: Thomas Lennon To Recur As Mxyzptlk In CW Series

Jim Dangle is gonna by Mxy? I am more than ok with that.

 

[vantheman77]

I hope Thomas Lennon's Mxy is a nod to the one in Superman: TAS.

 

[Thome216]

Cool news about Myx! Can't wait to see this new iteration. Hopefully a good mix of fun and threatening.

Same here! Some real nice moments. I liked the one right at the door with Kate's reaction to Kara calling Luke cute.

I've said this before - one friendship has died and another friendship begins.

Melissa talks a little bit about the 100th episode. They're taking inspiration from "It's a Wonderful Life"

 

[Brierrose]

Melissa talks a little bit about the 100th episode. They're taking inspiration from "It's a Wonderful Life"

So there are some set photos/videos floating around of the episode they're currently filming (which is apparently the 100th), and they SEEM extremely spoilery. Like, game-changing. However, I think it's all a misdirect:

Spoiler

They show Kara revealing herself as Supergirl to the press. But the episode is reportedly titled "It's a Super Life," based on "It's a Wonderful Life," and therefore it'll all likely be undone at the end. Given her current drama, I'm guessing they're exploring a "what if I had no secret identity?" scenario.

Spoiler

All confirmed

‘Supergirl’: Thomas Lennon To Recur As Mxyzptlk In CW Series

I like that it's Mxyzptlk that causes the "It's a Wonderful Life" type situation.

 

[vantheman77]

I hope the new Mxyzptlk yells "McGurk!" in Supergirl's 100th episode.

 

[flickchick85]

He’s already given us a “McGurk” before, so I don’t see why he wouldn’t do it again.

 

[Primal Slayer]

 

[Avenging Angel]

Jeremy Jordan isn't there, I'm starting to really miss Winn.

 

[Brierrose]

We know from Jeremy's Twitter that he was filming Supergirl on November 2nd.
That tracks with episode 11. It was always said that he would be back for more than one episode but not how many.

Spoiler: Season 5 Episodes

Episodes 11 and 12 look to be titled "Back from the Future - Part One" and "Back from the Future - Part Two" with the first directed by David Harewood. The titles make total sense and David directing tracks with what Jeremy said. Season 5 (Supergirl)

As for episode 13, the 100th I’m hoping Jeremy’s in that one too but he’s a busy guy and three episodes would’ve meant about six weeks total for him so we’ll see. He's doing concerts so he may have been performing somewhere on the night of the party. Also of note is that Chris had a beard, he was clean shaven in the two wedding pictures they released. That makes me wonder if Mon-El comes back with Winn, Chris being in Vancouver wouldn’t raise any suspicion.

I know it's on the Hype main page but The CW renews 'Flash,' 'Riverdale,' 'Supergirl,' 'Legacies,' 'Nancy Drew,' and 8 other series

Batwoman's on the list!

 

[vantheman77]

Supergirl renewed is all that matters. Superman and Lois being picked up as a TV series would matter a lot more.

 

[Brierrose]

A bit of Friday Fun the cast played Who said it: Kara Danvers or a Disney Princess. The only two to get 100% were Melissa and Nicole, who gets bonus points for naming the princess. Melissa and Chyler break out in song, because of course they did. I now need to hear Melissa sing the rest of "Colors of the Wind". The quote that stumped everyone else was “I will not stop. For every minute for the rest of my life, I will fight.” That is actually Rapunzel from Tangled, but it does sound like something Kara would say.

 

[Thome216]

I can imagine Kara saying those lines. In fact, I now want Kara to be able to say those lines!
