I have a wishlist for the rest of Supergirl season 6. I know that most of the episodes have already been shot, and the others are planned out. But if even 1/3 of these things happen, I will be content.

— An entire episode focusing on Kelly and Alex’s relationship with a heavy amount of flashbacks to fill in the gaps of their relationship. Sort of like the Andrea and Lena episode, but with some scenes between Dansen that were likely already filmed and cut. It’d be nice to have James there too.

— Nia coming into her powers to the point where she can take over for Supergirl by the show’s end. For Kara it’d be great for her superheroics to go down to more of a part time job.

— A character or two supporting Kelly Olsen for once.

— J’onn J’onzz getting hobbies and having fun outside of missions.

— J’onn acknowledging that M’gann was the one to resist the white martians well before he came into her life (I’m still salty about him getting the credit for that.) Maybe it doesn’t matter with the new multiverse. So either way M’gann getting something again in her life aside from J’onn like a career, reconnecting with old alien friends from the bar etc.

— Everyone getting therapy. And from someone other than Kelly. At the very least Kara, Alex, and Lena.

— Alex and Kelly having the child Alex always wanted by the last episode.

— Lena and Kara rebuilding their friendship and then...

— For Lena and Kara to realize they’re in love with each other and to be together. It doesn’t need to be a drawn out deal — the building blocks have been there. Just them together, okay? Okay.

— For Lex to become an insignificant villain who Lena takes down in a simple way, mid-episode with the focus being on her healing. Because he’s become that inconsequential by the end. No more grand, self-indulgent villain speeches from Lex.

— A cameo from Calista Flockhart’s Cat Grant. Maybe over the phone.

— For Lena to apologize to Eve eventhough Eve won’t understand it.

— One more mini-crossover for Kara and Barry Allen.

— While in therapy, for Kara to start processing some of her trauma especially with the death of her planet, having had to suppress who she is, abandonment stuff with her parents, and her two stints in the Phantom Zone.

— For Kara to live. No Oliver Queen-ing her.

— At least two heartfelt, gut wrenching Alex and Kara sister moments.

— More Brainy bonding with everyone, but especially Nia and Lena.

— Eliza Danvers being there when Kara returns.

— To hear about James’ new startup thriving.

— One more Sam appearance.

— For Kara to emotionally reconcile the two parts of herself as her. No more cognitive dissonance as a coping mechanism by the show’s end. And for Kara to have screen time outside of the Supergirl uniform. I don’t care if it’s through Catco, or now that all of her friends know her identity having more game nights where she flies around, but something.

Feel free to add on with your wishlist!

It narratively did not make sense to kill William. It was pointless shock value, really.

Meanwhile, Supergirl has this terrible habit of “killing” characters who should die, or are presumed dead, of retconning the deaths, and undoing everything in the process.

Here’s a list of characters who died and were brought back who probably should’ve stayed dead. Oh, and a list of characters who would have made sense to kill in this final season.

1.) Alura and Zor-El. Especially Zor-El. Their deaths fueled Kara’s motivations: being (one of) the last Kryptonians and last daughter of the house of El, reconciling her parents shitty choices (Medusa, PZ etc.). And the fact that Kara could not talk to them was heartbreaking and real. Her scenes speaking to AI Alura still stand up six years later. I don’t even remember her convos with them now that they’re alive. She should have had to finally face these traumas instead of her parents poofing back and then never interacting with her.

2.) Jeremiah. I know he died again but it was weird. I think he should’ve died in season 2 while saving Kara and Alex from Cadmus. Also maybe Alex and Kara could’ve had more than two episodes to grieve.

3.) Fucking Lex. The seven or so episodes he got in season four were great. A few were phenomenal. He was never Kara’s villain, he was Lena’s and he belonged in the ground.

People who should’ve died/or could have for real reasons.

4.) Mon-El. Should’ve died at the end of season 2. Maybe Kara doesn’t find out until season 3. Kara started facing a lot of her alien identity in S3 and what she wanted in her life from it. He didn’t need to live to accomplish that.

5.) Cat Grant. I know. I love her. But killing mentor figures on a Superhero show does serve a purpose. She gave hope speeches that inspired Kara to give hope speeches. She gave Kara her start in journalism. And the actress couldn’t stay so I think a cameo at the end of S4 during the alien hate OR in the series finale would plotwise be fulfilling.

6.) Winn in the finale instead of Brainy. I don’t know how or why, it could be figured out, but here’s what I do know: Winn and Brainy in my mind sort of traded places and lives. Winn will be coming to the present to help with every intention of going back to his family. Winn was the first person Kara shared her secret to. The first person she trusted. He used to be her best friend before they kicked that friendship to the curb. That’s my logic.

7.) Otherwise fine, Brainy. It would hurt a lot but the Superfriends remaining untouched isn’t the most realistic of things. He’s self-sacrificing, he’s close enough to Kara and the characters who matter to devastate, and he’s had tremendous character growth. And it’s hard to really see them killing another current Superfriend (also keeping in mind that every SF aside from Kara and Lena is a POC or is canon LGBT or both.) So I’m talking plot and more specifically, Kara. Killing Alex or Lena would destroy Kara (not to mention ruin their individual hard fought happy endings), killing J’onn, one of the last two green martians would be fucked up. Kelly just got to be Guardian. Nia’s future is wide open, and she hasn’t gotten enough character development, and she has a descendent, and killing her would just be…no. So yeah, Brainy’s death would make sense, but I would prefer it to be Winn if anyone.

William’s death did NOT make sense. It was distasteful. And sad in all of the real life ways and none of the plot ways. He was just tossed in the trash. Ugh.

Thinking about how Cat Grant’s company was casually passed around between billionaires as a token of love:

Lena —> Kara

Andrea —> Lena (with a dollop of guilt cause that’s their dynamic)

Cat —> Kara

Kara, when she finds out that Cat has secretly known she’s Supergirl for some time:
