Mehcad Brooks has been acting for almost 15 years now and he has had several starring roles; yet people can’t seem to say his first name correctly. So Supergirl‘s Jimmy Olsen shot a PSA explaining how to properly say Mehcad. It is very simple, it is Ma-cod. Now that you know how to say Mehcad, can someone tell me how to say his last name?
BTW watch him tonight at 8p on CBS in all new episode of the super superhero show.
UPDATE: He also needs to do a PSA for people like me who can say his first name, but can’t spell it.
Helen Slater, who was the big screen Supergirl, is playing her mom on the CBS drama, and now the actress who played the role on Smallville is also joining the show. Laura Vandervoot Tweeted, “Thrilled to be announcing I’ll be recurring as #Indigo on @supergirlcbs So proud of the cast & this series. #Honored”
I love that Supergirl, like Smallville, is casting people who starred in previous versions of Superman and Supergirl. Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent on Lois & Clark, plays her dad. I can’t wait until Tom Welling finds a place on the show. Hopefully he’ll reprise his role since we have yet to meet him. How super would that be?

The last new fall show to find out its fate was Supergirl, but today she knows how many more episodes she is doing this season. CBS announced today that they picked up 7 more episodes from the superhero show, which is two short of the normal full season order. Normally, I would be concerned, but the positive family show (which I think is pretty much the only one they have) started later than all of the others. So it kind of makes sense why they would be doing a few less episodes. Although I think it is deserves more episodes than several of CBS’s other dramas and comedies. Please, Life in Pieces would’ve been cancelled if it was following the declining The Big Bang Theory. Seriously, who watching that unfunny comedy?

We know that Supergirl is The Bomb and tonight at 8p on CBS we find out how she handles bombs while babysitting her boss’ son Carter (Levi Miller).
When Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) goes out of town, Kara (Melissa Benoist) offers to take care of her son, who has a crush on Supergirl. Sounded like a good idea until someone targets Maxwell Lord’s companies with bombs. How will she handle being a nanny and Supergirl at the same time?
It will get really tough when someone plants a bomb at the airport and also on a train event that Lord is hosting at the same time. To make things even more complicated, Carter wiggles his way on to the doomed train. Which bomb will Supergirl choose? Will she put Carter’s life over all of the people at the airport? It is a tough decision and we will find out if she makes the right one. Either way, there will be consequences for her actions. You will have to tune in to see what that means in this exciting episode!

Then at 9p, Scorpion starts off with an intense ride through Los Angeles, so that Walter (Elyes Gabel) can pick up his parents, who he hasn’t seen in years because he doesn’t have a good relationship with him, at LAX. They flew in to say goodbye to Megan (Camille Guaty), who is close to the death. When they arrive at the hospital, someone is being rushed to the infectious disease ward.
Shortly after they get to Megan’s room, the hospital is put into lockdown and Scorpion is separated throughout the hospital. Walter, his parents, Paige (Katharine McPhee) and Sylvester (Ari Stidham) are in Megan’s room while Happy (Jadyn Wong) and Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are trapped in the cafeteria with another victim and a woman who is about to give birth. Since the hospital is on lockdown, they are all stuck where they are located. If they can’t leave their positions how are they going to stop the spread of this quick moving deadly virus?
Walter only wants to get back to the warehouse, so that he can work on something that might save his sister’s life, but he can’t leave the building. Happy finds a way to open the doors to their ward, so that Paige and him can try to stop the spread of the contagion. While doing so, they find themselves trapped in a room and they can’t get out. Now, all Walter wants to do is be with his sister before she dies.
Back down in the cafeteria, Toby is also trying to find a way to contain it and help a woman give birth. Just when he thinks he knows what the virus is, he realizes it is worse than they thought. It is even more deadly with no cure. It looks like this is not only the end for Megan, but for Scorpion too.
Will they be able to stop the virus before it kills them? Will Walter make it back to see his sister before it is too late?
Tonight’s episode is not only emotional because of Megan’s condition, but also because they are all on a race of time to stop something that appears to be unstoppable. I have to say that tonight’s episode is the best one of the show’s run, and they have done a lot of great episodes that keep us entertained from the beginning until the end. I don’t know if tonight’s show is so great because they added a lot heart to it due to Walter about to lose his sister and Sylvester is about to lose his new wife, but it doesn’t hurt. What will hurt are you eyes and nose because you will be crying a lot tonight. So have the tissues ready because you are going to need them during this spectacular episode.

Before Calista Flockhart was running a newspaper on Supergirl, she was a babysitter on Guiding Light. She looks the same now as she did when she was 24 in that 1989 episode.
