“Supergirl” lost me a couple of seasons ago with the awkward lesbian relationship between Alex Danvers and Detective Maggie Sawyer. This element of the story always seemed to be forced, with no connection to the plot thread, inserted only for its “shock value”, and support of the gay agenda.

I have not been back since.

This is what happens when the writers rely on psychedelic assistance in creating story lines.

If they actually used psychedelics before writing these scripts they would not mindlessly ape the latest politically correct dreck—they might actually be creative.

The key to understanding Leftists is they have _no_ independent thought.

They march in lockstep—and turn on a dime—in lockstep. (Think Hitler-Stalin pact...)

Yeah, no kidding regarding Alex and Maggie. I knew Maggie was going to be a lesbian since she was already that in the comics, but turning Alex into a lesbian was way beyond the pale, especially when I never got any indication that she was that in season 1 (if anything, it was strongly implied if not directly shown that she was straight). What’s even worse is that I discovered this first from TVTropes where the YMMV section of the show actually DID indicate that Alex was a lesbian before she even met Maggie, let alone “came out” (in fact, I think this was before the season even aired). It’s actually one of the reasons I quit the show myself, that alongside their shilling for Hillary Clinton, their obviously trying to paint Donald Trump as a fascist via various characters, their demonizing anyone with concern for national borders via Cadmus (which is odd, since the DEO in season 1 had a similar role to the ICE/Border Patrol), the stupid Daxamite-Kryptonian feud that was introduced, and heck, pretty much a whole lot of bad plots abound.

Personally, I would have kept Alex straight. At least Maggie was actually a lesbian in the comics originally (well, kind of, originally they didn’t indicate that she was a lesbian, but then during I think the 1990s they decided to make her one). She might be friends with Maggie, but nothing more than that in my rendition. It’s actually a bit ironic, really, considering her actress is a committed Christian and married to Nathan West, not to mention has kids (I think they’re definitely going to have a very difficult time explaining to their kids what happened to Alex’s character).
