why kill bianca

Never understood why supergirl needed to also kill the sidekick Bianca? She didn't really seem to do anything wrong outside of being a sidekick. Don't think she would have done any damage on her own.

Well im not sure they died, I think they were send to the phantom zone with the monster.

But I do agree I always felt sorry for Bianca she sort of did not want to be a part of it all...specially near the end when she saw selina getting out of control and then she she was going to leave (in her own words) but then selina pushed her backwards into the wall with her power so Bianca then says..thats what I said...im staying im staying

but saying this its no good Bianca being by her friends side till the very end THEN just deciding she does not want to be a part of it lol

Selena was devoured by the monter but Bianca ? She not deserved this but in the phantom zone, alone with the monster....it's no future for her...i'm sorry for Bianca and I Think that Brenda Vaccaroin this flik was nice and sexy

I was thinking this too. This seemed way too extreme a fate for a relatively harmless sidekick character. Being stuck alone with that monster in the Phantom Zone really was a fate worse than death.

The price she paid for associating herself and dabbling with black magic and evil, she should've got out when she first realized Selena was in too deep but Selena probably would've killed her, oh well too late now, played her role well, don't think she was killed OP just banished to the Phantom Zone with that beautiful, passive monster.

I agree, though she did try to sneak off because she knew selina was going a bit too far, then again if we got all the deleted supergirl footage that's still in the vaults I don't think these commenters would be quick to support Bianca since selina killed a women in a deleted scene by turning her to ice then shattering/melting her

In one of the earlier drafts of the script Selena tuned on Bianca as well as Nigel.

I think it was how the characters fate evolved over rewrites. It's true that she was guilty by association and was sent with Selena as a lesson for her siding with Selena for so long including but not limited to having the Omegahedron.

She was in on it, which in the writer's (and Audiences') eyes that makes her guilty by association.

And she didn't kill either Selena or Bianca. They were banished to the Phantom Zone.

Always thought this myself. I felt sorry for Bianca. I feel that Bianca only stayed because she was afraid for her own welfare, if she ever decided to turn on Selena. I'm sure she would have been killed, or something else of an extreme measure. Anyways, Vaccaro played the role well.
