Behind the Scenes Episode 17

Moving the show to Vancouver has given fans an unforeseen gift. The insight we are getting from the show filming on location is so entertaining! Watching what they go through to film this show then what the final product looks like is a testamate toward the hard work and dedication the cast and crew go through! Along those lines, we have this behind the scenes look at filming episode 17 with Kevin Smith directing from CelebrityWotNot.

Looks like a pretty intense fight with a crazy scary bee/bat looking alien! The way that bench breaks looks like Supergirl is thrown with incredible strength!

Quoting Alex:
Her stunt woman does know martial arts I believe and actually is SUPER athletic in real life. She won American Ninja Warrior or something like that.

Check her out in this clip. If you dig you'll find her doing one course as wonder woman as well

Yes, though she was one of the two Season 1 stunt actresses. The other, Shauna Duggins, apparently was in all 20 episodes. For Canada there is a new Canadian stunt actress, Atlin Mitchell.

I like the Alex and Maggie storyline. Alex Maggie supergirl and Lyra would make a good team. Women rule. And power to the women. Where did Melissa get that sweater. Melissa Benoist rules. And supergirl rules. I hope cw keeps supergirl on for years. Go supergirl go. I can not wait for tomorrow's episode I hope supergirl makes it out okay. From supergirl's number one fan

Melissa Benoist and the cast of supergirl are hard working. And Melissa's stunt double works hard. From supergirls number one fan.

I think the stunt doubles are great myself - just my opinion. Without them, we would not have our shows. You have to figure, the actors/actresses are not able to do these stunts themselves because they would get hurt - and we wouldn't have shows. You have to realize that Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, the characters of Jonn, Mon-El, Guardian all have stunt doubles.

Very nice footage. Thanks for posting it here! Always a pleasure to see BTS stuff from our favourite show. ;-)

Indeed Fedguy.

You know I love being on this site because we get to see some BTS things that no one else will be able to see. So that we can get a one-up on things here.

Now as for Kevin Smith, looks like he brought his zany with him again especailly carrying what looked like a Tim Horton's box of what they call Timbits or what we call donut holes or Munchkins for Dunkin Donuts people like myself (their iced coffee ROCKS!)!

And just to make sure Melissa Benoist keeps her crown as the donut queen at 1:38 in the video she is chowing down on one of those Timbits. So now all those donut pictures we've seen on social media have been taken to the next level.

And I must say for the stuntwoman...man and I thought Jeanne Epper, Lynda Carter's double on Wonder Woman did a lot of extreme things. I wonder if Mel B can feel any pain the stuntwoman might get.

Melissa is so good to look at that just by watching her chew food is entertaining. LOL. She must have been eating the Timbits that Kevin Smith passed around. For the non-Canadians, that's the name of Tim Horton's donut holes - Timmies is equivalent to Dunkin' Donuts.

Even Aliens can't resist smartphones.

Melissa's stunt double probably is a fight choreographer, too.

Also sometimes its easy to forget how often work is done by the stunt double.


Though the last combat bit appeared to be the actress herself, not the stunt double.
