Also, John cryer is an excellent Lex
I was unsure about him being cast because he was way too old and I just didn't think he had it in him to play evil but he showed me just in the pre-credits opening scene. He killed this role.
He still too damn old but I guess that can be chalked up to him being ravaged by Kryptonite cancer.

Dudes acting was top notch in this episode. Chyler and Mellisa in zombie makeup for the win....

Original Supergirl Cast Member Exits Series

Supergirl fans have gotten some big news in recent days, with the reveal of a new costume for National City's hero as well as news that Jeremy Jordan will return as Winn Schott during the upcoming Season 5. Now, there's another big piece of Supergirl news for fans, though this one is sure to leave fans a little sad. Mehcad Brooks, who has played James Olsen since the series' first season on CBS, is leaving Supergirl during the first half of Season 5.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Brooks is departing the series in order to focus on feature films, develop his own starring cable series, as well as work on a book that he is currently writing. Currently, there are no details on how Brooks' Olsen will depart the series, but according to showrunners Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller, the door will always remain open for the actor to return.

“We love Mehcad and we’re sad to see him leave the show as a series regular, but we’re excited for both Mehcad and James Olsen’s future,” Rovner and Queller said in a statement. “He’ll always be a part of our Supergirl family and we look forward to James returning to National City at some point to visit his sister and his super friends.”

Props to him. Sounds like he’s got plans and getting his hustle on

I haven't watched season 4, but they weren't doing shyt with his character in season 3 & his storyline in season 2 where they made him a superhero/vigilante was lame. So I'm not really surprised about him leaving.

Feels like this show is bring slept on here due to the messaging being pushed this season but dude from Two and a Half Men just came through and crushed the buildings as Lex :whew:
Cryer is killing it as Lex. He has saved the season
Co-sign this!! I finally watched the first 2 episodes with Lex a couple nights ago & it almost made up for the cringe-worthy AF, "woke" SJW-pandering first 13 out 14 episodes of the season.



Also, John cryer is an excellent Lex

:whoo: Jon Cryer is WAY BETTER than what I expected him to be. This past week, I was going through the motions catching-up on this past season but Jon Cryer's performance as Lex has made it worth my time. Y'all think Jon Cryer is touching Michael Rosenbaum as Lex?

Just caught up with season 4. This is probably the best DC show at the moment. Not sure why it’s so hated.

Jimmy’s sister :ohlawd: think she’s East African.
