In reply to Amy.

I would’ve loved a storyline about how Maggie “I hate Valentine’s Day and squishy feelings that make me weak” Sawyer was a big old softie for kids and saw herself having a few of them while Alex grappled with the sheer panic of having to revert to prioritizing other humans above her own happiness and well-being. I would’ve really enjoyed the complexity of someone who clearly wants a hand in saving the world, and is totally capable of and happy to care for her loved ones, deciding that she couldn’t really stand the idea of being a mom.

Falling for Maggie opened Alex’s whole world up, and I would’ve been perfectly entertained and satisfied (but also gutted) if she realized that staying with Maggie meant closing it all over again.

Plus, then we get Alex Danvers dating around a bit (after several months of mourning Maggie), which would give us plenty of room for side queer characters of varying importance. OOOOH….idea: Alex dates some girls, we think they’ll be minor characters never to be seen again, but then she realizes the inevitability of befriending women who’ve been in her dating pool and she builds up a healthy wlw squad that she gets to just be Alex with. Not Kara’s big sister, not an agent, not Supergirl’s protector, just Alex who likes guns and motorcycles and is widely regarded as a great lay and a better friend.
