Nuking the arena was also weird because everyone in that building had already been saved by Supergirl on at least three different occasions. Although maybe to their thinking there's a difference between stopping an alien invasion or diverting a nuclear warhead and directly saving someone from a burning building.

Yeah, the cult was going off the rush of being saved from imminent personal danger, rather than general panic and knowing Supergirl's out there somewhere. That's why they approached Ruby and Supermom after she caught the wrecking ball, not after the waterfront attack. Which suggests that they didn't want her to stop the bomb at the end, since nobody in the stadium would know. They wanted it to go off and for her to rescue people from the aftereffects.

Go full Superdickery on James. I want giant turtle Olson, Olson gets trapped in a bubble, Olson gets turned into a werewolf. Maybe skip the one where Superman makes him marry a gorilla.

A good episode. Shame about hammering the kids vs. no kids point so hard just because Maggie is leaving the show. It's cliche (I mean, like, drat), but Chyler plays Alex so well, I don't mind. As a matter of fact, out of the DCCW shows, the only one I'm meh on this year is Arrow. I'm pretty tired of the everything is terrible and sucks and you cannot possibly win or do good and everyone hates you thing. Oh sure, John is a drug addict now because you put your trust in him. Why not? He didn't feel bad enough for murdering his own brother, now you can just throw that on there, too. John's going through some poo poo. And the main villain is the FBI and they are actually right about you being a law-breaking vigilante but that doesn't matter. We won't kill Thea, but we'll sure as hell put in a convenient coma. And Laurel is back, but she's evil, and it's almost (but not quite) driving Quentin back to drinking. I mean, Flash is bringing back the fun from Season 1. Legends is Legends leaning full in to the dumb and reveling in it. Supergirl is already tackling some heavy themes and doing it better than Arrow. Maybe it's just the acting, but I really care about Kara and Alex and what happens in their lives. Oliver might as well be a cardboard cut-out.

You can't have a show with relationships without breaking into the want/don't want/can't have kids hot topic.

To be honest I am completely shocked that they didn't start this at the bridal shower. The second they started asking trivia about their partner I expected Maggie to not know what Alex's favorite color was or something and that be the start of the CW relationship drama.

I think the kids discussion is a stupid and over-used relationship trial in TV and movies. I don't get why the show creators supposedly need to break them up if she wants to be less in the show. Just have them get married and happy. Maggie isn't the only police detective in National City and it already feels weird to have her and Alex always meeting eachother at work. Just separate Alex' private and professional lives on the show, have her happy about her home life and worrying about other stuff instead. Winn is still together with Lyra, right? And she's not a season regular because the show focuses on his work at the DEO. Have Alex sporadically mention having to get home to her wife and have Maggie appear in family events and sometimes crossing paths at work. Done. Having her less on the show doesn't mean breaking her up with her girlfriend.

If a couple don't agree one way or the other there isn't a happy ending for them, period. If they are dead set on writing Maggie off I'm glad they're at least going with a real issue rather than manufactured drama.

I think most adult couples talk about this stuff and if one isn't into having kids at the moment they agree to not have any, and maybe they change their mind later when they feel ready to have kids.

Nope, guess it's only James and not ever other character in this show. James need something to define him. I'll say they have at least tried, going from "coworker who knows her secret" to boyfriend to boss to vigilante cohort to guy who occasionally gives her advice.

"I want kids, I don't" is a totally valid and mature reason to end an otherwise good relationship, yes. Continuing on and just hoping someone changes their mind eventually is just kicking the can down the road. Some do it and maybe have happy years ahead, but others end up in unhappy marriages filled with resentment and a lack of satisfaction. All in all I'm sad is happening but I think they're doing a very good job with Alex really struggling with it and even explaining a bit why Maggie might be set in the idea. And I for one probably would find it really weird if Alex married Maggie and she just never showed up. Because Supergirl does a LOT of "happy family" scenes and it would be weird if Maggie just never went to Kara's apartment. I'd be waiting for the subplot where it turns out Maggie hates Kara.

The whole “want baby/don’t want baby” plot line 100% hinges on Chyler Leigh’s ability to sell that conflict. That last episode, with her breakdown with Kara, showed that she’s totally up to the job. She’s a hell of an actress, and that performance was honestly probably too good for the show it was on. Her and David Harewood are Supergirl’s acting powerhouses.

In the Superman:TAS episode where Darkseid invades for the first time Maggie gets injured and when she's in the hospital she's visited by a woman who is never directly named. Later at Dan Turpin's funeral you see this woman with her hand on Maggie's shoulder. The episode itself never says her name or what her relationship was but she was listed in the credits as Toby Raines, which is the name of Maggie's girlfriend in the comics.
