Trivia / The Flash 2014 S 8 E 2 Armageddon Part Two

• Real Life Writes the Plot: Eric Wallace has stated that Alex Danvers was selected as the Supergirl guest character rather than Kara due to a combination of the COVID safety protocols and the logistics of the Supergirl series finale shooting around the same time as "Armageddon".
  • That combination of factors is also almost certainly why Alex only appears by video communication with Barry rather than in person.
• What Could Have Been: Following on from the above, Wallace also stated that Alex was very nearly not in the episode anyway because of the Supergirl series finale shooting schedule. It was up in the air until late in the game as to whether Chyler Leigh would have enough of an opening in her schedule.
