But Peter WAS Spider-Man. He was the main character. We weren't getting a TV show or movie where a new character is introduced and we spend 1/3 of the time on that character's love life, which has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.
Ah, but we did have separate plots focusing on Harry Osborn, Aunt May, et al. That fleshes out a fictional world, so its not operating like bad 80's cartoons or a Cannon movie where its about characters making "bold" calls to action and explosions.
Supergirl is
far from a perfect show, but it would be rather boring if it was superheroics morning, noon and night.
Can't we just agree that tv babies suck and move on from that? Unless they age the baby up fast I don't think anyone wants to watch a main character changing diapers and trying to get crying infants to sleep. They usually add nothing. Just something that you got to pretend is always in the other room or is being babysitted by any number of people that isn't interesting enough to be in a scene. Roll it out once in awhile to remind the audience the kid does indeed still exist but then right back out so people know it's not going to stop the character from doing interesting things.

Some people really dislike the idea of babies on this show.
Like it or not, Alex has a natural desire to be a mother and it should be explored. She's not an action figure, where she's tossed around, only serving one, unrealistic purpose and once playtime is over, its back in the toybox. She has to be more than an ear for Kara and "that agent," and being a mother would add dimensions to the character that will not be gained from any other type of plot. Further, it brings more grounding to the show, which is needed.
My problem with the latest episode:
Will Kara/Supergirl EVER grow a brain and not just give the ONLY/ORIGINAL copy of bombshell evidence to someone who has shown they're not trustworthy/honest, etc.? She continues to live up to the name "Stupidgirl" (Seriously, I wish this was one trope the writing staff on this show would finally abandon.)
I wondered about that--if she left copies of this information with James, who would know what to do in the event her story was not believed, or someone tried to suppress it. So far, we have no indication that she left anything with James, so for the time being, that would make her "Stupidgirl" to be sure.
