Supergirl 3x05: Damages

[beatrice_otter]

I like this season MUCH better than last season, holy cow, no more Mon-El!  Yay!

I am really UPSET that Alex and Maggie are breaking up, but if they HAVE to break them up, this is the way to do it.  Neither one is evil or bad or wrong, they just want different things out of life, and facing that means acknowledging that for them to be together one of them (but only one) is going to have to make major sacrifices ... and much as they love each other, that's not worth it.  It's the sort of mature adult breakup I wish more shows had ... except why do they have break up the sweet lesbian couple?

I was ALL ABOUT the James/Kara in season one, and HATED that they dropped it in season 2, but I was sort of conflicted by the end of the season because I'd also started shipping Kara/Lena.  And now, as of the end of Damages and the way Lena and James talked at the end, I am on the OT3 train.  Please tell me there is lots of James/Kara/Lena fic?

Wait, from this ep onward, 3x05, no more Mon-El??!!

[beatrice_otter]

I am several weeks behind, this is the latest ep I've seen, and I have successfully avoided being spoiled, so I can't tell you what's ahead. But so far, he's been absent.

[beatrice_otter]

He's not a regular. He will apparently be guest-starring in at least one episode. Darn.

[monanotlisa]

Sigh.

Thanks.

I’ll wait till he’s gone for good then.

You can watch all the eps so far, he's not in them, and just skip the one he guest stars in. If you want.

I watched the last, 3x08, For Reasons. ;)

It's not that I hate Mon-El himself; I hate what the writers are doing to Kara to make her swoon over him. So as long as she mopes and thinks he was such a prize...I just don't like Kara that much. If the show kept Mon-El, but not in a romantic relationship with Kara, who's Over Him, I'd be, so to speak, super.

Exactly! I don't think he was even mentioned in 305.
