Supergirl Season 6 Location Change
4/1/2020 12:00 am
After Crisis on Infinite Earths, it's been pretty clear that just about anything is possible on television and specifically the Arrowverse. Regardless, this news coming to us today from The CW is actually pretty shocking even for us! In order to accomodate the many changes that need to happen to get Melissa some time and to allow for the show to continue, Supergirl season 6 will take place exclusively in Atlantis, under water!
Casting calls have already gone out for the Arrowverse's Mera and Arthur aka Aquaman. Supergirl will be fitted with a helmet that will allow Melissa to film scenes during her pregnancy and a surrogate body can be used for action scenes. What problems could cause the Atlantean civilization to need the help of a Kryptonian and her super friends? That guess is up to you. Happy April Fools everyone, hope you and your family are happy and healthy in today's climate.

Alex in Wonderland Recap
3/22/2020 5:14 pm
This is an episode we've been looking forward to for a long time. Thinking back on episodes that stood out to us that weren't as Supergirl centered as others, Midvale was certainly our favorite. It's no coincidence that tonight we are excited to see Alex take to the skies and also welcome back Olivia Nikkanen as young Alex! While it might have been fun if this were some kind of odd alternate future, it is due to the Obsidian Lenses. After last week, we know there is a big flaw with the eject button and Alex could be at risk! Here's what stood out to us tonight:
- Jeremiah's Death: Alex is not in a good place. She doesn't want to go to Jeremiah's funeral. She feels like she keeps losing her father over and over again. Her rage turns towards Kara and Kara desides not to deal with her sister. She and J'onn head to Midvale for the funeral. Kelly stays back to be there for Alex. Alex turns to wine and VR lenses to live a different life. She gets to experience what it's like to be Supergirl! Or at least her version of Supergirl.
- Failsafe Hack: William has discovered that there is still a failsafe hack. He goes to Kelly to confirm. Through a little investigation, William and Kelly discover that the patch for the failsafe issues was never put into practice. Kelly goes to Andrea to make sure the issue is handled. Andrea kind of dismisses the issue and passes Kelly off. Super Alex heads to a bar where she gets blueberry pancakes. She runs into her other adventurer friend who now doesn't know she is in a simulation. Alex decides she is ready to leave the simulation but gets a call from J'onn at the DEO. The simulation seems to be adapting to try and keep her logged in. Leviathan picks up the body of the adventurer girl who is now fully trapped in the system.
- Virtual DEO: Hank Henshaw returns and has captured Kara. Super Alex heads to disrupt Henshaw's plans. At this point we have to note, it started to feel kind of like a Legends of Tomorrow episode. The non-playable characters allowed the actors to go over the top with their personas and kind of do a silly version of themselves. Super Alex takes down Henshaw and Kara is safe. Kelly heads to William's office in Catco. The new board member who might not have allowed payment to go through could have been Lex. Lex is now a member on the board. William and Kelly begin to notify users that might not know they are trapped. The more Alex accepts the happiness of the lenses, the more trapped she is becoming. We see Alex's lenses go from operational blue to trapped red.
- Alex is Trapped: Alex runs into another Supergirl and she realizes that there can't be two Supergirls so she exits the simulation. However, that exit was part of the simulation. J'onn calls Alex and alerts her of a crisis where people are questioning their reality. Alex opens her shirt to reveal her black Supersuit and she is right back into the simulation.
- Kelly Finds Alex: Kelly sees that Alex's lenses have turned. She can't end Alex's simulation. Alex doesn't believe that Kelly is there to break her out of the simulation. She calls Andrea to see how she can help. Andrea suggests that Alex herself can shock her out of the simulation. Young Alex was sent into the simulation. Young Alex then becomes Alex's guide through the simulation. She goes to confront Jeremiah but he vanishes.Young Alex tells Alex that she can't be the one to find her dad. Then, all of a sudden, Eliza shows up to keep Alex trapped in the simulation. Everyone there is trying to kill young Alex. Young Alex is able to break through to her older self and Alex defeats the simulation and exits.
In the final wrap up moments, Alex questions if she is really out. Kelly says the truth to her and she believes she really is out. Alex realizes that she was angry because she couldn't save her dad. William gets word from his NSA contact. All the people that are trapped seem to be in one location. Andrea gets concerned about the fail safe and goes to tell her programmer to fix it. That programmer is revealed to be Eve Tessmacher, or Hope, or someone new who is programmed by Leviathan. William checks out the facility but sees nothing as Leviathan puts up a hologram image. We cut to Midvale where Eliza is eulogizing her husband. Alex joins Kara in a booth and the two forgive each other instantly.

The obsidian lenses seem to be capable of a great many things. More over, in virtual reality, not only can you become someone like the Girl of Steel, fly and have all her powers, but you can also meet your younger self? Take a look closely at the gallery images below. You'll catch one image with Alex in the super suit talking with Olivia Nikkanen who plays young Alex. What interesting twist could there be that requires Super-Alex to speak with her younger self? Check out the gallery below:

We've been waiting for an episode like this since the first season! What if the roles were reversed and Alex was the one with super powers? A chance to see Chyler Leigh put on her own super suit, fly, and punch through walls is an exciting prospect! Unfortunately, it seems like that "what if" story is going to come from a very dangerous situation! As we saw on tonight's all new episode, Obsidian's tech has a major glitch and Alex is stuck in her own VR fantasy! Check out the trailer below:

Reality Bytes Recap

It's an uncertain time right now. We want to wish everyone a safe and healthy night. We know that with production being paused, these are some even more precious episodes of Supergirl to watch. Tonight's episode was Nia-focused (in part due to Melissa's directing debut which happens in "Deus Lex Machina"). Nonetheless, there were some heavy topics covered and to many fans' delight we got the return of Nia's roommate! Here's what stood out to us:
- Dominator Defeated: Supergirl and Dreamer are working together to take down a rogue Dominator. Supergirl quickly kicks it's butt but it's Dreamer who lands the final blow and knocks him out. The DEO arrives to take the Dominator away where Dreamer and Brainy share an awkward moment. We then cut to a very sweet moment with the sisters. Kara needs help picking an outfit for her date with William. Alex tells her blue, always BLUE! Alex is also training. She is learning to use her new weapon which is a little more complicated than she thought.
- Nightclub Attack: Nia's roommate is dating a new man and she wants Nia to meet him. Her roommate is a big Dreamer fan and she pretends to know her personally (ironically not really knowing that Nia is Dreamer). The boyfriend turns out to be catfishing her because she is trans and he wants Dreamer to stop being a superhero because he doesn't agree with her sexuality. He is targeting people in Nia's community until Dreamer stops being a superhero. Kara goes to Nia and offers her help but Dreamer is ready to take him down. Nia gives the cops and Supergirl a few hours before she will deal with this person her way.
- A Friend Named Al: J'onn and Alex know a man named Al who has a brother who is missing. He thinks that he might be in something called virtual Las Vegas. The assumption is that the brother paid for a hotel room with cash and being in the VR world, the police have no need to look for him. Alex goes to Kelly to get into the virtual Las Vegas and J'onn heads to Al's house to see what clues they might find to help find Trevor. Back in virtual Las Vegas, we find Alex who has gone into a customized room. This place allows the system to tap into your personal fears. The glitch that Kelly found with the eject button is being exploited by someone. People are being trapped into a simulation. J'onn hunts down a Richard in Opal City. Richard's wife has been having a virtual affair with Trevor. It is believed that Richard is now torturing Trevor. Alex finds Trevor who is blowing up consistently and feeling it. Alex is able to help talk Trevor down and own the rules of his virtual reality. J'onn finds Richard in real life and takes him out.
- Dreamer Attacks: Dreamer is able to bait the attacker successfully into a date. The attacker shows up thinking he'll meet Nia and instead finds Dreamer. She is able to make quick work of him and defeats him. Holding him at bay, Dreamer thinks about killing him and just then Supergirl arrives. She is able to talk Nia out of it and pledges more support from the Superfriends to keep an eye out for that kind of hate. We catch up with Nia at Catco who is having serious concerns over her want to kill someone. Some part of her still wants to. Nia is also coming to terms with her break-up with Brainy. All of this is just too much and Kara is able to be there for Nia when she needed her the most.
In the final wrap up moments. we cut to Alex and Kelly at the bar. They talk about how this new tech is so groundbreaking that there aren't enough regulations to keep it safe. Trevor comes to the bar to thank Alex and Kelly for their help. Nia and her roommate share a moment and support each other. Nia tells her that she needs to keep going and keep putting herself out there. Brainy heads to National City Police and hand delivers mountains of evidence against the hate groups. Alex gets a call from her mom. Jeremiah has been found and he's dead. In the last scene of the episode, we see how Leviathan is capturing the people who can't use the end simulation button and storing them in a warehouse.
