Who thinks that Mon-El and Kara have a chance of getting back together after what was released about the "heart wrenching" finale?

I think that, after the progress Kara has made (finally), it would feel like a huge step backwards for her character to fall back into this relationship, when over half the season has been about getting over Mon-El.

Respectfully disagree. The progress Kara has made figuring out who she is and who she wants to be won't be negated if the catalyst for that introspection, the loss of the life she thought she was going to have, becomes possible again. Personally I think the season will end with Mon-El and Imra breaking up but Kara and Mon-El not getting back together but the possibility left open for next season. If nothing else it's believable that the network will want to stretch out the will they or won't they get back together.

I just don't think Kara/Supergirl should NEED to be in a relationship. And if she is in one, it shouldn't be so crucial to who she is as a person.

I agree with this

Losing people is hard, and I get that. But Kara's recovery period after losing him at the end of season 2 seemed INCREDIBLY disproportional to how long they were together. She seemed to completely lose herself for 7 months, after losing what was pretty much a 2-3 month relationship. And that really bothered me. But she's finally made progress, and I don't want to see all of that be for nothing.

It's not just Mon-El Kara was grieving she was close to having everything she ever wanted, then by her own hand she had to sacrifice that. How many of us have had points in our lives where by forces in and out of our control something changes and all our plans for the future are no longer possible. There's a grieving process for the life we thought we were going to have that we have to go through before we can pick up the pieces and live in our new normal. IMO Kara having a second chance at the life she thought she was going to have doesn't negate the process or the progress. Plus Kara and Mon-El are both not the same people they were at the end of last season, their relationship wouldn't be the same either.

An IRL example is the couple who unsuccessfully tries to have a child then conceives right after they adopt. They may have spent years trying then after grieving not having a biological child open their hearts to adoption. unexpectedly having the biological child they had given up on ever having doesn't negate the progress they went through or make them love either child differently.

Having her and Mon-El together season 5?...that would seem MUCH more legit. Give the relationship angle a break....loooonnnggg break.

I'd be down for this. I could see both of them not wanting to jump right back into a relationship after everything they've been through. Let Kara take a page out of Eliza's book and say they need to get to know each other again. I would also like to see Mon-El taking time to process the end of his relationship with Imra and the ending of the life he thought he was going to have.

By the term heart wrenching...I think someone dies...and I am afraid it might be Samantha/Reign. The title of it in case you haven't heard is "Battles Lost and Won." Perhaps that "Won" will refer to Supergirl's ultimate defeat of Reign.

Kara getting back with Mon-El doesn't sound heart-wrenching.

But Kara's recovery period after losing him at the end of season 2 seemed INCREDIBLY disproportional to how long they were together.

So true, Kdogg. "Disproportional" is the perfect word for what made the story explanation troubling. Same goes the Maggie story, as well. I mean, days away from wedding and NOW you mention kids.

Good thing the VAST majority of the season has been spectacular. Please don't go backwards on Kara's story, writers *crosses fingers* Having her and Mon-El together season 5?...that would seem MUCH more legit. Give the relationship angle a break....loooonnnggg break.

I don't mind Mon-El being around, but I just don't think they should be together, again.

True. I fully agree, but I really miss Karamel.

I don't mind Mon-el sticking around, I really like Chris in the role, however I'm not real keen on them rekindling their relationship....unless it is much better written than last season, I hope they stay just friends.
