Aside from that, interpersonal relationships continue heating up between the likes of Kara and Mon-El as well as Alex and Maggie. Somehow, I feel this series lends itself to showing the tender side of peoples’ lives better than most superhero shows on The CW, but let’s hope it doesn’t cross the line and turn into Smallville season 6, which will be remembered as the year of love triangles.
