I hate to admit it, because I REALLY want to like this show, but you are spot-on with most of your comments. I watched the finale last night and every time I felt myself groan or think "seriously?", I would try to think "Ok. How would the comics handle this? Is this something I might see in the comics? Would I think it was cheesey if I read this scene in the comics?". More often than not I snapped back and thought that yes, it was still kinda cheesey. Or just flat out lame.
I'm kinda bummed now that I read your post and am admitting it to myself. Is this what an intervention feels like?
LOL! Damn! I REALLY want/wanted to like this show. Oh well. If it is gone, so be it. I'll get over it. It'll be one more hour of my life I get back.
IF it does come back, they better do some serious re-working of the show from top to bottom. Ma Danvers needs to go. I'm thinking maybe Alex needs to go as well. Lucy Lane needs to go. James needs to go. Win needs to be less like Cisco. Cisco is Cisco. And he's good at it. Win needs to be someone else. MM needs to just stay in his MM form, not disguised as Hank. Less name-drops from Cat. Better costumes for the baddies. Better make-up effects for the baddies. Sorry, but Indigo looked RIDICULOUS! And I REALLY hope that it isn't some "Super" animal of ANY kind in that pod. That would just kill it for me. Some things do not translate from the comics no matter how hard you try and a "Super" kitty or "Super" monkey is just too much.

I also agreed with most of your own post, as a matter of fact, Cat could actually be a great character, if only they tone her down a couple of notches. But I was livid when she supposedly rewards Kara with a friggin windowless cave, reminded me of that poor office worker in Office Space, who kept being moved from bad office spot to worse office spot by Bill Lumbergh, lol. How can you like a character like that? Kara has saved her ungrateful life several times, yet Cat keeps her giving her the shaft...what an unlikable character. Having said that, Cat did finally pronounce Kara correctly, so that was her way of saying thanks. Also, perhaps she does know Kara is Supergirl...so giving her that dungeon of an office...gives Kara that extra privacy to do her "thing" as Supergirl. That would make some kinda sense.
You are spot on Winn, he should be less like Cisco. Cisco is a brilliant established scientist. Winn is just an average computer techie working in a publishing company. Winn should be smart, just not that smart.
Yes, James needs to go. He's supposedly an award winning photographer. Yet how many times have we seen him out on the field in action? Actually using his camera on assignment? Once or twice perhaps in the entire season? 99% of the time, he's just prancing through the CatCo offices, doing runway modeling, and making Kara drool, please, lol.
Definitely no more need for Ma Danvers and her bad acting, no more Lucy Lane looking more like a Victoria's Secrets catalog model than an military officer. And even no more of Alex (or at least reduce her role considerably). I think basically she's almost taking over now, sometimes it feels like the Alex Danvers show, not Supergirl.
Yes, more Martian Manhunter, less Hank.
Eliminate the DEO...let Supergirl fly solo, like Superman.
And speaking of Superman, give him his proper respect, actually show him once in a blue moon, heck, I'll go as far as, gulp...even...oh brother, but, I wouldn't be totally opposed to Tom Welling (there, I said it, lol)...have him make guest appearances from time to time...definitely better than comically keeping him unseen...because it sure is NOT working like that...it's really aggravating and beyond silly.
