Slightly off topic, but... Went to emerald city con, both Benoist and Leigh cancelled. Bummer. At the same time, can't blame them for dropping out of photo ops. Hard to smile if looking for work...

I hope it's not cancelled but we will find out soon I guess. It's in the same boat as Agent Carter (Atwell did take a job on another show). If it is cancelled it just proves how hard it is for these kinds of shows to last on these big networks. The WB/CW shows last as long as they do because they have a lower bar for ratings success and smaller budgets. If Smallville had been on NBC or CBS it never would have lasted ten years.

Weirdly, Berlianti's company said they only did Supergirl for CBS because they knew they had a bigger budget to work on- but I wonder if they have the option to scale back and bring it to CW? Or- at the very least- maybe Supergirl can join one of the other CW superhero shows by Berlianti?

I think it's doable but they'd need to cut a lot. Or make it a mid season show like LOT. I wonder if Benoist would be willing to join LOT? It could be seen as a step down and really...if they had Supergirl on the show it makes coming up with credible threats a lot harder.

Careerwise, it might feel desperate to take a bump down for the same role. Maybe guest spots, like Constantine and Arrow.

That's what I was thinking too. I thought it was cool to retroactively make Constantine part of the Arrowverse so I'd like to see them continue Supergirl that way.

Was disappointed in the finale. It had its moments but I felt like the myriad threat was initially dealt with too easily but then the situation changed so that changed my mind. The fight with Kara and Alex didn't live up to my hopes. The show played fast and loose with the rules of Supergirls powers in space too. If you're going to make up rules stick to them. Supermans situation wasn't very well dealt with by the end. Maybe there something they'll pick up on next season. Great to see Slater and Vandervoort is becoming the standout villian of this show as Indigo. She needs a redesign to be less Mystique though. I do want to know who or what was in that escape pod. That was an interesting cliffhanger.

Not yet. That's just me assuming. If they hadnt had the bit with the pod I think the season finale could have functioned as a series finale and most would have been satisfied with how most of the storylines were wrapped up. The Jeremiah Danvers mystery being the one dangling thread.
