Season 4 BTS Randoms

From Hollywood Pipeline, Rough Day for 'Supergirl' - Set Photos Show Melissa Benoist Struggling to Free Herself.

Judging from the setting, it will take place in the same scene as the Manchester Black pics, from earlier this week.

Honestly, I'm happy about this. I want this anti-alien group that Agent Liberty is leading to be a formidable threat. Let's be honest. Cadmus was only a threat, once, in the episode where they captured Mon-El and Kara. Beyond that, they were lackluster, at best.

Well, if we're being honest , the only time that I actually felt Cadmus as a threat was when they were first introduced, back in Season 1, and took Alex and J'onn captive. Even though both Alex and J'onn escaped, the potential for Cadmus as a ominous future villain was very intriguing. Season 2 pretty much nipped that anticipation in the bud though.

I had a similar feeling with the prospect of Reign and the World Killers this last season. The build-up of the Killers and then the beat-down that Reign gave Kara felt like we were in for a real ride for the remaining 2/3 of the season. Unfortunately, it, too, fizzled out and never really seemed to go anywhere as a real threat. While I do enjoy seeing Kara as just Kara, the back and forth between Supergirl and a formidable opponent creates the suspense that I particularly look forward to watching. So, I'm really hoping the anti-alien group is this type of antagonist and not just a political plot piece.

Sons of Liberty and Cadmus are different than Astra/Non, Reha, and the Worldkillers. The latter were individuals that once neutralized there was a clear victory. The former are groups so even if you neutralize the leader the group remains, there’s no clear victory and the group may go dormant until new leadership takes over or the remaining members join a likeminded group.

I agree that Cadmus was mishandled in season two and I think the main reason for that was Brenda Strong wasn’t signed as a regular so her availability was limited. I said before I wanted Cadmus to be a persistent thorn in Kara’s side, something that never quite goes away. Sons of Liberty and Cadmus are likeminded groups so while Cadmus has lost leadership, with Lillian in Jail, it’s remaining members can join forces with the likeminded group. Think about real life hate groups, which have existed throughout human history, and how they have evolved all over the world just in the last couple of centuries. The names, leadership, methods, strength, and visibility change but the goals really don’t. What will “victory” against Sons of Liberty look like for Kara, it certainly won’t be the same as the victory against Worldkillers. Will it be changing the heart of or imprisoning the leader Ben Lockwood, neither of which changes the hearts of the rank and file members of the group. It’s a much bigger challenge to show the hero “winning” against a group than against individuals. How should the writers to show Kara defeating the Sons of Liberty. I think there will be a battle for Lena’s heart and that will be one of Kara’s victories or losses this season.

Another great video from Elseworlds..

Was going to create a Elseworlds dump thread but this post entirely killed my dreams

(No hard feelings this post is great)

Good stuff Brierrose and Romulus!

Some random BTS shots of Melissa with a book during her downtime between shoots.

Cheers!

Ha ha! John Freer! I zoomed in on her book, too, and read up on it. And, was like, "Dang, Melissa. That's some deep readin."

Now that Melissa is back on set, thought we could go ahead and create a thread of any BTS stuff we may come across and/or want to discuss.

Kiwi, this one's for you. Kara finally back to reporting....

Ha ha that PA...."you're welcome to stay..." dude this is in Canada in a public venue, they can't get rid of you if they tried.....ha ha

Cool BTS Video from Celebrity Wot Not.

Ok, question. I'm currently watching this on my phone, and not a monitor. So, does Melissa keep laughing at the beginning after director yells action, and they have to stop the scene twice? Lol I can't imagine Kara smiling with smoke and people running everywhere.

Cool BTS Video from Celebrity Wot Not.

Very cool, it's good to see Alex still out in the field and in her suit. In one of the still shots it looks like she's got her "alien gun". I wonder if Director Danvers is going to reconsider the whole phasing out deadly weapons thing, especially without Winn to develop the non-lethal arsenal.

Everything Sully just said. Spot on, friend!

I'm done with Cadmus. The only reason they should ever reappear is to resolve the Jeremiah story, which remains the shining beacon of broken plot on this show.

Melissa, Jesse and Kevin Smith filming in Port Coquitlam today (09 October). Tweets attached from YVR Shoots and Talented Katz. I'm liking seeing Kara and Brainy scenes being filmed, definitely want more of them in Season 4.

Stephen Amell's Twitter is worth following. He makes some good and fun posts about filming like "Gotta say... it was weird being the only actor filming on Flash for a couple of hours today..." and "Spoiler alert: This years crossover begins with Oliver eating pancakes.", Stephen should totally make that one happen .

Stephen is tweeting a LOT about this year's crossover. He seems really excited about it.

I wonder if the real Barry or Oliver is at all involved in this one

Bah ha ha ha ha Kiwi! You totally just beat me to it. I actually have that very link set to cooy/paste on my phone. Well played. I'm gonna start calling you Blaising Fingers cuz your blausingly fast typing speed as of late. Or perhaps, call you Barry Allen? Flash?

Heck no. You're making my life easier. Please... by all means... Post away.

No no... Do it. There's lots to post for it. There's a dance-off video between Grant and Melissa. Start the new thread, and I'll plop it in there.
