Butt first, let's

I mean, Melissa Benoist's Supergirl having to cope with Lobo seems like such a no brainer. Like, Lobo should appear once every season and every time Kara has a nervous breakdown trying to process/control him.

I never once thought of it before but it seems so obvious now that its been mentioned.

I didn't know. I try to avoid spoilers when I can.

I look forward to it. I knew the Valentine's Day episode was going to have a bit with Alex and Maggie but I am super glad that they will likely be B-plot. I don't want them to run this thing into the ground.

Also,

Kara and Mon-El have amazing chemistry, so much better than Kara and Jimmy or Kara and Wynn. Jimmy, opps, James has no chemistry with anybody. I think he is being played by worst actor on the show to be honest. Either that or he is being directed to act like a cardboard cut-out.

Edit: like, I'd rather see a Red Tornado come-back than more of James / Guardian.

Edit2: Anybody else see the previews with the white martian and think "there goes their special effects budget for the rest of the season."?

I imagine a lot of the Mon El hate comes less from people shipping Kara/Jimmy or Kara/Wynn and more from the Kara/Lena thing.

The crowd of the internet that ships ostensibly straight characters into gay relationships also seem like the folk who get really angry online. And Supergirl seems to have a slight "Supernatural" tint to its fanbase.

tbf though, they haven't exactly played Kara and Lena's interactions all that, er, straight.

"Man is the animal that thinks something is wrong."
If they wanted to have tension between James and Kara they should have made it about her new dedication to being a reporter and him not doing enough with his new position as the head of Catco to help the world or something. Noble ideals of the press vs the realities of running a global media empire, something like that.

His whole not all heros wear capes thing was much more interesting than Gaurdian.

Serious Edit: Momoa would, in all honesty be the perfect Lobo, though knowing the CW be careful what you wish for or you might end up with Teen Lobo instead.

I don't have a major problem with Jimmy becoming Guardian. The motivation makes enough sense in comic book logic. You spend years being a sidekick to heroes eventually you find that fire to become a superhero. Sure, in real world logic it makes him crazy but in comic book logic its the motivation of most non-powered heroes and pretty much every supporting character on Arrow.

Yeah, they could have done something about journalism being important but considering I've never once bought into the journalism aspect of this show that would have required a lot of work and change. Like, even if I didn't see CatCo as a E!/US Weekly/Entertainment Tonight type of thing they've done a really bad job establishing Kara's motivation to become a reporter or her doing it. Supergirl seems more capable of super heroes than compelling narratives about the heroics of journalism.

But I don't think there's any romantic tension between them. I also don't get that vibe that Kara is into Mon El. Or Lena just to cover all sides. Everyone (including Lena) seems to admire and be somewhat attracted to her, because duh, so that ends up as sexual tension if you're not a relative or a father figure. But she doesn't seem especially into any of them. She's just super open and loving because she's Supergirl.

"Dude, there was a lot of things that went through my head when he said Aquaman," Momoa says. "There were a lot of things that went through my mind. I was thinking like, 'Lobo.' I'm gonna play some kind of bad guy. I'm like, 'Who am I gonna play?' And year, he said Aquaman. I was just like, 'Come again? Pardon me?' And then he explained why. I was like, 'Whoa, buddy. I got your back'" - Jason Momoa
