She was riveting in "Fallen"


I have to say, the scene where she wakes and her first immediate question of, "Did I kill anyone?" was amazing. She completely crushed that scene. I completely believed that character was a real person in that moment when she realizes all the horrible consequences to her friends and family, and the life she's built, and faced with the (almost) unforgiveable things she said to her sister. My opinion of Melissa as an actress was completely re-aligned by this episode. (full disclosure, I've only ever seen her in Supergirl)

Excellent job portraying the gradual growth of Kara into Bad Kara. Would be nice to see more of Confident Kara. Hopefully she won't always need Red Kryptonite for that!

Also, the shout-out to the Superman 3 scene, with the peanuts in the bar? Hah, excellent.

I think she owned this episode, she is always awesome but this one was the best. She definitely didn't disappoint viewers.

I'm glad CBS didn't end the series after 13 episodes. We would have gotten the Emmy worthy performance.

Just about every guest on the show comments on how hard she works. It shows.

Yes.

You think an Emmy nomination can happen?

You think an Emmy nomination can happen?

There are times within this show where scenes are near perfectly executed and almost always involves Melissa. So ..could happen.

I feel like Calista has a lot of chances for a nomination. Melissa is too. You are right, she is killing the part.

I think the show will get snubbed by the Emmys. The writing is just way too hit-or-miss.

It was a moving scene and episode. The whole journey for Kara through the episode was riveting.
