Cameo had a sale and I couldn't resist! Transcript below the cut. Twitter link is here.

Hi Melissa! Name twins. Thanks so much for requesting this cameo, I hope you had a really happy holiday if you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope it was a really nice one. And thanks for these great questions! When I directed the episode of Supergirl that I directed, on shows like that, you don't typically have too much control over the story or things like that. It was really to make things easier to shoot, you would change something. Or if I had an idea that would tie in with a location that I chose - which, that was something I had control over, which location we used for Lex Luthor's house, we did a whole location scout. So you get to choose those spots, and how it will look on camera. That being said, every decision I made, it was a collaboration with the directory of photography, it was a collaborations with the [Associate Directors], it was a collaboration with costumes and wardrobe and everyone to make sure everything would work on the day we were shooting whatever scene. Also those superhero shows are really complicated to shoot as you can imagine, with the action, the special effects, the stunts. So really, I had control beforehand of very little, but then on the day you have control on what you say to the actors and principle actors on set with where you want to go, but also you're trying to match the tone of the show that's been established, that there's been multiple seasons of. So that's fun! And then after the fact in the editing room, you really get to collaborate 1:1 with the editor to try to make the episode more your own and give it your own voice, even though it lives in this existing world that's been established. I loved it, and it was really great, and we had the best crew, so I worked with really awesome people that I loved!

And with my book, the process of writing with my sister, we kind of came up with the idea together. Jessica is a writer, she's a much better writer than me, we'd kind of come up with ideas together, brainstorm, she'd kinda go, I'd help finesse, we had a fantastic editor. But storywise we really came up with the world and mythology together. And I go by Melissa in life! Actually, everyone on set at Supergirl called me Mel. I think because one of the stunt coordinators, Simon, started calling me Mel, and then all of a sudden I became Mel. Which, never in my life was I ever a Mel, suddenly on Supergirl I was a Mel - I was fine with it! You're awesome too, thanks for the support, thanks for reaching out, I send all my love!

Alright one of our doofuses was definitely tampering with something while unsupervised and now has the power to read the other's mind. Is it Kara or Lena that's picking up the others, "started off cute but now it's sinful", thoughts?

My brain goes to Kara getting the mind-reading powers sometime in s6, and she keeps getting totally blindsided by Lena's thoughts which constantly transition with zero warning from complicated equations and probabilities to getting bent over every surface in the Tower and railed six ways from Sunday by Kara in the supersuit

it's sick that lena never got to smooth out the crinkle on the show

Don't worry, I can make it happen in your head!!!

Imagine Kara lying in the yellow sun bed, unconscious, Lena sitting pale and worried at her bedside. Alex leaves to check on Kelly and Lena is left alone with her, holding her hand tight - Kara's hand is warm, but not moving yet. There's a crease in her brow as if she's still dreaming about the fight. Lena reaches out to gently smooth her finger over it, letting it linger just a bit too long.

And when she moves her hand away Kara's eyes are open.

Notice how before Katie looked at Mel to share the "discreet, flirty look" Mel already was smiling even with her eyes waiting for Katie to look at her.
