Rather the Fallen Angel Trailer

James has made the decision to play full-on double agent and judging by the trailer, it could cost him more than he is prepared to pay. The Children of Liberty are looking to set their sights on Supergirl. Every time Ben Lockwood thinks he has a victory, he ends up hearing how Supergirl saved the day. He needs to get rid of her once and for all because her hope, help, and compassion for all is what stands in his way. The trailer ends with the implied destruction of a symbol of hope and we mean that in all ways! Check it out below:

Why would you bring a gun to fight Supergirl, makes no sense.
It's kind of like bringing a knife to a gunfight, right? :D


Interesting thought...with the advent of Nth Metal on earth, maybe the bullets are Nth Metal? It's already been shown that Kara can't bend or break that material. And it may not do as much damage to her as a normal gun would to a normal person, but it's entirely possible that Nth Metal bullets could injure her.
My understanding is that the only reason Supergirl can't be harmed by bullets is because they bounce off of her. If Nth metal is that strong, it is possibly reasonable that a bullet made out of it could penetrate her skin, Once it does, would she be just as susceptible to the damage caused by the bullet as a human would be to a regular bullet? Or would the yellow sun allow her injuries to be fixed almost immediately? Not sure how that works.
I'd like to see the guns because we're overdue to enjoy a scene where the dangerous bullets harmlessly bounce off Supergirl. It's been a long time since we had any scene showing her invulnerability.

According to "The Science of Superman" by Mark Wolverton a Krpytonian's "skin would develop a body-wide layer of 'callus' -- and if dense enough,this could also serve as a physical shield against other dangers, like pesky bullets, knives, and explosions." If by chance there was penetration, according to Wolverton it wouldn't go too far. As for whether under a yellow sun injuries are fixed almost immediately, Wolverton wrote that yes, a Kryptonian's body has near instantaneous regeneration and healing that takes only milliseconds where it would take us much longer or never.

"If Nth metal is that strong, it is possibly reasonable that a bullet made out of it could penetrate her skin,"

Remember the villain named Facet in Sterling Gates' "Adventures of Supergirl' comics series? At the end, her diamond-hard body was shattered by bullets made of a superhard metal (something like Nth metal). So it makes sense that it could penetrate Kryptonian's skin, too.

Meaning production on the individual shows practically stops when the crossover is being filmed.

Besides being a romantic getaway/early Birthday celebration Melissa may have had an obligation to attend the Dior show in Paris. It's not uncommon for an actress to have a symbiotic sometimes even contractual relationship with a particular designer. Melissa does seem to wear Dior a lot in photoshoots she does for various magazines and I know she wore a Dior dress to the Tony Awards.

As for the Terms of Endearment reading I think that would've had minimal impact on Melissa's availability. It's my understanding that filming is typically not scheduled on weekends ........ Provided there was no Friday night shoot scheduled Melissa and Chris could've easily flown to LA Saturday morning/afternoon, it's a 3.5 hour flight, and done the show Saturday night. They could've returned to Vancouver on Sunday allowing Melissa time to rest up before work on Monday. It's true that she would've spent some time on the project but pro that she is I'd bet Melissa was able handle both without asking for reduced screen time.

I definitely think they totally committed to just filming the crossover over about 3 to 4 weeks and wouldn't have been filming additional episodes of the individual shows.

I don't believe they film on weekends (just a Monday to Friday thing). As for Melissa's movements around the time of Episode 7 and 8 filming, from memory and doing some quick checks it went something like this - Mon Sep 24 and Tue Sep 25 in Paris, Thur Sep 27 and Fri Sep 28 in Vancouver (where she was seen filming the scenes on the pier as seen in the trailer). Mon Oct 1 in L.A. for T of E reading, Tue Oct 2 presumably travel back to Vancouver and then on Wed Oct 3 started filming her Episode 8 scenes into the next week when crossover filming commenced. So her screen-time may be reduced (prob more in E7) but we'll just wait and see.

I've followed filming pretty closely this year and Melissa didn't start the crossover until after Episode 8 was filmed. Episode 7 "Rather The Fallen Angel" was being filmed however when Melissa and Chris were in Paris and then the next week they were in Los Angeles for the Terms of Endearment reading. So if her screen-time in this episode is lighter than normal that could possibly be the reason why.
I think the EPs on all the shows have figured out that building in dark time is important when it comes to planning crossover filming. Meaning production on the individual shows practically stops when the crossover is being filmed.

It sounds like the momument James is being persuaded to blow up is the same one Supergirl is imprisoned in.
Could be just an extra shot in the trailer but, one of the shots looked like they're holding her in the Statue of Liberty. And you're right, there has to be more to it than Nth metal or she could get out of that location.

and hoping that she finds her own way out ...Or, MAYBE, the "other" Supergirl will show up to help her??? Just a crazy thought
My first guess is that it will be James. He's basically like an undercover cop now and I think he will find out that Kara is in the place that is going to be blown up and will either get to her himself or let the DEO and/or J'onn know where she is.

How James acted towards Lena in the previous episode and what he's doing in this episode BETTER be a ploy to expose Agent Liberty's true identity!!!

I suspect that the chains are nth metal and Manchester is using his powers to restrain Supergirl ... That's why the chains "wrapped themselves" around her wrists ... Really looking forward to this episode -'love those tense cliffhangers - and hoping that she finds her own way out ...Or, MAYBE, the "other" Supergirl will show up to help her??? Just a crazy thought ...


I don't see Manchester betraying Supergirl, especially with this group. He would clearly be aligned with Supergirl in this matter.

Having Red Daughter save her, I don't see that either, how would she even know Supergirl was in trouble? Much less where to find her.

It seems the DEO tracks her at all times, so you would think they would know where she is being held. I wonder what weapons Ben Lockwood may have gotten from the Graves siblings that he can use against Supergirl? We already saw how effective the Graves got Supergirl out of their way in episode 1, Lex may have left them some more advanced weapons that could knock her out, and/or weaken her greatly.

Can't wait to see the episode!!
