For her directorial debut, Melissa Benoist was handed a difficult episode and knocked it out of the park. By nature, "Deus Lex Machina" was a very expository hour because, as the clever title suggests, it's primary purpose was revealing how Lex Luthor has been pulling everyone's strings since "Crisis on Infinite Earths" ends. Handled incorrectly, the episode could've felt like an information dump, albeit a necessary one. But it didn't because Benoist brought energy to every dialogue-heavy scene and pulled a nuanced performance out of the typically great Jon Cryer. Furthermore, Katie Rose Rogers and Brooke Pohl's script used the episode as an opportunity to add new layers to Lex by exploring his compulsive desire to be loved and how tendency toward obsession are both his greatest strength and Achilles' heel. If I had one complaint about the episode, it's that it definitely didn't need that Sun Eater climax because the character work being done was thrilling on its own. —Chancellor Agard

Melissa Benoist explains why directing Supergirl's Lex-centric hour was 'daunting'

Supergirl definitely isn't complaining about her latest team-up with Lex Luthor.
This Sunday, The CW's Supergirl returns for the final run of season 5 with a Lex-centric episode that marks Melissa Benoist's long-awaited directorial debut. Benoist has been dying to get behind the camera since season 3, but wasn't able to until now because of scheduling conflicts. Luckily, it seems like it was well-worth the wait because she got to helm an episode that diverges from the show's usual structure and perspective, which she admits was initially quite daunting.
Cleverly titled "Deus Lex Machina," the flashback-heavy hour essentially starts on day one of the post-"Crisis on Infinite Earths" world and sheds light on all of Lex's (Jon Cryer) behind-the-scenes machinations we haven't been aware of — from manipulating Eve Teschmacher (Andrea Brooks) and his sister Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), to pitting Supergirl against Leviathan. In other words, it's very similar to season 4's "O Brother, Where Art Thou," except this time around the criminal mastermind is trying his hardest to keep his Kryptonian hatred in check so that he can focus on defeating Leviathan.

KATIE YU/THE CW
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What jumped out at you from a directing perspective when you read the script for the first time?
MELISSA BENOIST: Considering it was the first time in the director's chair for me, I think I'd be remiss if I didn't say how terrified I was. That just went without saying, that I was scared, but reading it also had this thrilling aspect to it because I was going to get to be the one to visualize it and make sure the tone was coming across. I guess only since season 4, we've had these episodes that were a departure from the story and took a step back and gave us Lex Luthor's point of view, and this is one of those episodes. So, I couldn't believe how lucky I was that I got to be the teller of that particular story for our season, where we recap the entire season from Lex Luthor, Jon Cryer's eyes. And I was very excited to get to work with him closely in an actor-director relationship. Aside from the initial terror, and wondering whether or not I was capable of doing it, I was so excited and immediately just imagining what I wanted to do and thinking of shots.
KAILEY SCHWERMAN/THE CW
How would you describe the tone of the episode?
Tonally, it's difficult on these kinds of shows when an episode is from the perspective of our, for lack of a better term, villain, and he is one of the ultimate villains in the DC Universe. So I wanted to keep the tone light enough while still having that dark, macabre Luthor feeling to it. I wanted it to still feel like an adventure, like an episode of Supergirl, and he was the hero for our episode, whether you hate him or not. But it's hard to hate Lex Luthor, he's so delicious.
By nature, this episode is very expository because it’s explaining the season from his perspective. What challenges came with that?
I'm glad you pointed that out because that exact point was the most challenging aspect and the most daunting one because there are a lot of time jumps that let the audience follow Lex as he [learns about Earth-Prime]. It starts the day after Crisis. So in the way that we had Kara Danvers wake up after Crisis in her loft and it was this new world, Earth-Prime, this is Lex's telling of that. So, we time jump a lot, there's a lot of exposition, exactly, a lot of themes that we had to catch people up on. So that was a little daunting to make sure that yes, it was expository and informing the audience what they needed to know to understand, but also keeping it moving and entertaining and not just feeling like an encyclopedia, if you will.
One thing that stood out to me when I watched it was that it’s mainly built around scenes in which Lex is having one-on-one conversations with someone like Eve and Lena, often manipulating them. What was it like to work with Jon on those scenes?
I mean, that was the dream. Working with Jon Cryer, I felt so spoiled rotten that he was the primary actor I was getting to work with, and the cast surrounding him too, because we get to see Eve Teschmacher and Lillian Luthor [Brenda Strong] make [their returns]. All these characters that kind of surround his orbit, they're all so deft when it comes to those kinds of scenes where it's really wordy and talkative. He's an evil genius and manipulative, so I had to really keep track of who he was manipulating when and for what reason [Laughs] to make sure that each scene was really clear where it fit into his master plans and where it was taking us, and how it affected the super friends. But working with him, he's just so smart and far more experienced than I as an actor. Honestly, I felt bad. I didn't feel like I really needed to give him that much direction. It was more just playing, which I loved, and that's part of the reason I love being an actor — when you get to really just bite into the words and what's on the page and really play, and there's no wrong answer within the arc you're telling.
KATIE YU/THE CW
The photos from the episode revealed that Kara and Lena finally share a scene together, which they haven’t done since the 100th episode. What can we expect from their interaction?
I don't know how much I can say about how Lena and Kara interact, but they do and it's the first time we've seen them interact in a while. I think people will be excited to see the scenes between Kara and Lena, and that Lena does play a big part, obviously, because this episode revolves around her brother. There's quite a bit of Lena Luthor in there.
A lot of Arrowverse stars have directed episodes: David Harewood, Katie Cassidy, and Caity Lotz. Did you get any advice from them?
Of course. David Ramsey, as well has been really helpful. These shows are so specifically involved as actors already, the schedules are grueling, we’re there so much and we all get to know these so well. we spent a lot of time with each other on a crossover, so I did get quite a bit of advice from David of course. He gave me book recommendations and just every day we would kind of talk, especially when he was directing. I got to watch him and he has such a great fun, positive directing vibe about him. I didn't get to talk to Katie Cassidy much about it, but everyone was very supportive and excited and everyone has great ideas.
How did you feel your experience as an actor influenced your directing approach?
Well, I think, just innately, we approach the script a certain way just without even thinking about it. Thinking about tonally what emotions are there or what is driving a character, our objectives and our goals. But more than that, just for this show specifically, I feel like it's become a second skin and I've spent so much time with the characters, not just the ones I play. So it’s almost a little unfair because since day one, I've just seen how each character's arc has progressed and changed, and grown. So that really informed my approach to it all. And really we all just want to tell good stories, and that was my main focus the whole time.

Supergirl star Jon Cryer says quarantine may have changed Lex Luthor's finale fate

Supergirl's plans for Lex Luthor might be in flux.
On the latest episode of PeopleTV's Couch Surfing, Lex Luthor's portrayer Jon Cryer revealed that the writers of the CW superhero series are currently rewriting parts of the season 5 finale, which they'd already started shooting before the entire industry shutdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This means that things may turn out differently for Lex when the season ends.
"The Supergirl folks have talked to me because we couldn't shoot our last episode. We had shot some of the last episode, and they're gonna use some of that footage, but they're writing a whole bunch of new stuff around it," Cryer tells Couch Surfing host Lola Ogunnaike in the clip above. "Which is interesting because the way my character was thwarted now doesn't happen anymore. So I was like, 'Oh, did I not get defeated? Wait a minute, I like this!'" He adds with a laugh, "Supervillains, we relish our chance to actually not be defeated every now and then."
This is pretty emblematic of the character's excitingly twisty journey in the Arrowverse so far. Introduced in Supergirl's fourth season, Cryer's super-villain was only supposed to appear in three episodes because Warner Bros. features was still planning on doing a Superman movie that featured Lex. But plans changed once Cryer, who loved playing the part, found out that the CW was planning on adapting Crisis on Infinite Earths later that year.
"I felt like such a nerd because I wasn't originally supposed to be in [the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover], but I literally had to talk to Peter Roth, who is the head of Warner Brothers, and say, 'Hey, I heard you guys are doing Crisis on Infinite Earths and Lex Luthor's a big part of that in the comic books. So I'm just sayin' I'm here, whatever.' And that's just humiliating," he says in the clip.
Thankfully, Lex's story didn't end with "Crisis." In the wake of the massive, universe rewriting crossover, Lex's criminal past has been erased, he's now hailed as the Man of Tomorrow (something he's always wanted), and runs the DEO. When we last checked in with Supergirl, Lex was scheming to take down season 5's seemingly immortal and omnipotent big bad, the organization Leviathan.

Supergirl star Melissa Benoist on that 'terrifying' last scene
By Chancellor Agard
May 03, 2020 at 10:00 PM EDT
Warning: This article contains spoilers from Sunday's episode of Supergirl, "Deus Lex Machina."
Lex Luthor's episode-ending field trip portends grave danger on Supergirl.
The CW superhero drama's latest episode, "Deus Lex Machina," which marked the directorial debut of star Melissa Benoist, revealed what Jon Cryer's criminal mastermind has been up to since he woke up on Earth-Prime at the end of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" — from manipulating Eve Tessmacher (Andrea Brooks), whose history has changed in the new timeline, to moving the chess pieces around and pitting Supergirl (Benoist) against Leviathan. At the urging of his mother (Brenda Strong), he tried tempering his hatred for Kryptonians so he could focus on taking Leviathan down, but he ultimately succumbed to it. At the end of the hour, he discovered the location of the Fortress of Solitude and teleported right into it, which can't mean anything good for the Super Friends.
"Whenever there is a Luthor in the Fortress, it's scary, yes, but Lex Luthor stepping foot into the Fortress is terrifying," Benoist tells EW. "The entire episode we were kind of playing with this idea that Lex is an addict of Kryptonians, and that he just can't help himself but go and see what this mysterious Fortress that belongs to these Kryptonian looks like and feels like, because he ultimately wants the power they have and he wishes he was superhuman. So I wanted that to feel as ominous as possible. For the rest of the season it will come into play, and not in great ways."
While Lex was busy plotting, Kara and Lena (Katie McGrath), who haven't spoken since the 100th episode, took one step toward friendship and then several steps back. In the wake of Jeremiah's death, Lena offered her condolences to Kara, but that thaw in their relationship didn't last too long. Later in the episode, Kara used Myriad to find everyone who was trapped inside Obsidian Platinum, which angered Lena because Kara told her earlier in the season that Myriad was too dangerous for anyone to use. Of course, Benoist says there's still hope for their friendship.
"We burned a really well-built bridge, and now it's all about rebuilding and whether or not it can be rebuilt in the first place," she says. "So I would argue that things are being rebuilt, and I don't want to say too much more about it. Maybe this bridge can hold weight." Benoist laughs, and adds, "I really went far with that analogy."

Finally caught up to tonight...
That conversation between Lena and Kara two years in the making and Finally Lena sees that her reason to be Pissed at Kara made no sense.
Also it’s crazy that Leviathan made no sense as a threat but even still this season was pretty good. I only had issue with one episode.

Man Ms Wheeler from Stranger Things is fucking working this outfit
How is this Superman show going to work. Kara gets 1 billion people to log out of paradise.
Also raise your hand if you caught this Easter egg
I'm going in...
So far this is freaking great
This the one Supergirl director
But I'm confused
Is there a multi verse or NOT?
Cause Lex just told his mom there was NOT one.
They messed around and might have made the "best" Lex ever
I said might.
I said might.
@fonzerrillii
Yo ummmm supergirl might be going after the legends title
2 completely different shows but famn i am legit impressed with the quality of storytelling going on
This is VERY intricate.

Your not wrong.
Joss whedon and his writers made the blueprint on creating the ultimate big bad
I did not like Alice still don't really but she is a great villian that takes advantage of a lot of traditional batman villian history
Legends creates a big bad every season and is excellent at being self referential
To be fair black lightning had some great villians just didnt know how to use them all effectively
Supergirl messed up Lena but this iteration of Lex is sone genre defining stuff
Muthafuka sun eater
EXCELLENT
EXCELLENT
Ms. Tessmacher!!!!!!!
BL needed more Tobias Whale...
Arrow was known for gd villains...the season`s tht struggled the villain was the weakest link ...
u have to watch the season finale... actually the last few eps of Batwoman ...Alice killed tht shit ...
they def needed more Alice ...they went away from her a lil bit especially the last ep n the shit jus drug...
but the scenes she was in she stole em all IMO...
Yo this was well written
Ms Martian>>>>>
But i disagree a little with you
The shows need a strong lead Arrow, Flash, BL, Legends, supergirl
Without THOSE leads?
Those shows crumble
You need a strong hero too but your right the villian has to be equally great.
And thats hard to do.
No matter how good some think Alice is?
The weakness of the lead was just too damn much
So they saving some special effects money on the manhunter
Wait what...
A green brainiac 5?!?!
A green brainiac 5?!?!
Hold on lex can fight?

Ummmm should Supergirl sister Alex be the new batwoman???
