Supergirl
Sad news for Supergirl fans. Season 6 will be the last season. The show has not been cancelled - Melissa Benoist who stars as Supergirl has not renewed her contract beyond Season 6 and she has chosen to leave the show on a high. Melissa is about to give birth. Melissa has done the heavy lifting for five going on six seasons and time to hang up the cape. While this is sad news that the show will end, our love for the cast will continue. We will continue to follow the careers of the Supergirl cast (just like we have done with the Xena cast) beyond Supergirl.
You follow our coverage on AUSXIP Supergirl Twitter and AUSXIP Supergirl Facebook Group
AUSXIP has a new social media account (and soon to be site) for the new CW show "Superman and Lois". MaryT will be taking care of the twitter and facebook group.

Lucifer
Lucifer has been my COVID addiction and I've powered through the episodes in time for Season 5B and Season 6! Lucifer stars Lesley-Ann Brandt (who I adore and a dear friend) in the role of the demon Maze. Catch it if you can, it really is a great show.
- Lucifer, whose Season 5 production was shut down in March do to the pandemic, resumed production today, also on the Warner Bros. lot. The Netflix series will finish the last episode of Season 5 and segue to filming the sixth and final season of the comic book drama.
Warrior Nun
Speaking of Great Shows - I finally caught up with Warrior Nun. I heard so much about the show that I figured I'd give it a go. I was ready to bail after half of episode 1 - it was BORING. I haven't seen acting this bad since Xena's episode Ulysses. Ouch (except for the lead and the actress playing Shotgun Mary). Something happened (or maybe someone spiked their drinks during lunch) but the show roared to life in Episode 8! VERY different show from Episode 1. So if you haven't seen Warrior Nun yet, have a look and try not to throw something at your monitor or tv. Hang on till episode 8. It's worth it!

Can you believe it's been 19 years since the terrorists attacks in the US and the loss of 2997 (I'm not including the terrorists in that number). On this day every year, I post two pieces of art; one is fiction and the other is art. Cheyne Curry's The Pocket Watch and Lucia Nobrega's Little Xena and Gabrielle that pays tribute to the fallen.
Uber Fiction
- The Pocket Watch by Cheyne Curry - Content Warning: This is a fictional, detailed depiction of one woman's personal 9/11. It may not be for everyone.
In memory of those who perished on 9/11 (and to those first responders who heroically went into burning buildings, to the doctors, nurses, police and all the other men and women who assisted).
Little Xena and Gabrielle 9/11 Memorial created by Lucia Nobrega in 2001.

9 Years Ago... on September 11, 2011 in Sydney, Australia, Andy Whitfield passed away. I had met Andy a couple of times and I found him to be a genuine, humble guy. I simply adored him. He was my Spartacus. I was heartbroken when I heard the news. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma had taken a beautiful soul.
Rob Tapert sent along this message in rememberence of Andy.
From Rob Tapert:
"9 years ago the world lost a brilliant young actor- Andy Whitfield — A life of promise cut short. He is surely missed by many and remembered by those who knew him."
Rob
Watch this moving tribute to Andy from his castmates - they do a Haka in his honour.
