not sure what you guys are looking for? there have been plenty of danver sister moments and space family moments.

Lets walk through the season shall we! I assume you know episodes well. Lets walk backwards

episode 10: I think we got 1 of the sweetest space family moments ever, space dad is unsure what he is about to go through but is sure it will be an emotional journey so he asks his daughters to be there for him.
episode 9: Kara says to Alex "you found us" to which Alex replies "always!". When Alex is about to go through the portal J'onn to Alex " bring our girl home". when they exit the portal J'onn is right there to hug Kara.
episode 8: Thanksgiving scene had some very fun sister beats. Later after finding out her dad created medusa Kara needs a reassuring pep talk and J'onn is right there for her. Also could anyone else on the planet ground supergirl like Alex can?
episode 7: light on Melissa Benoist scenes in total as she was filming crossover stuff.
episode 6: not 1, not 2, but 3 amazing sister couch scenes. cameo from space dad rolling his eyes at a drunk kara unable to go check out the scene of the crime.
episode 5. not much space family here as it was the beginning of Alex's journey
episode 4. the girls get J'onn to talk about M'gann. J'onn preferred to keep it close to the chest but Kara threatened to super pout and who could hold that off
episode 3: J'onn and Alex sort of laughing at Kara for her nerding out over meeting the president.
episode 2 and 1 were both intentionally light on space family to showcase Kara was unintentionally ignoring Alex with being to engrossed with Clark.

There are 2 major differences this season so far.
1: it is no longer episodic, sure there is a plot to each episode (livewire, parasite etc) but the character arcs, the relationship arcs take place over several episodes.
2: No Cat Grant. without Cat there isnt as much Catco thus not as much Kara being Kara. The Catco time has been replaced by sanvers or guardian.

I see lots of people saying Kara has no story. Kara's story is simple; you see her original purpose was to look after, mentor and take care of Clark and she is now getting to fulfill that need with Mon-El who needs someone as patient and caring as Kara. besides that almost every story will cross her path at some point. Look at guardian, while not a fan of the choice of the guardian/james arc it has kept an otherwise useless character relevant. While the arc started off in a total different place it is now in Kara's lane.

I suggest paying less attention to shipper fan echo chambers and find places that will give more balanced reviews and then venture into the shipping lanes and have some fun.

Respect to everyone's opinion who is frustrated that the season is different from the first. I'm with you Rschick I'm enjoying this season. She said it herself in E4 Kara's mission is to be Mon-El's mentor on Earth which BTW could be part of the reason she's reluctant to act on her feelings for him. Season one established how close Kara and Alex are almost to an unhealthy co-dependent level. They've found a healthier balance with sweat smaller moments rather than big ones. It's not necessary to keep hitting the viewers with how close the Danver sisters are. Kara's supporting her sister by letting her have new relationship time with a Maggie. The show is establishing how the new characters will relate to the established family. James is the outlier i'm not sure what's to be done with him.

I'm enjoying the season myself. Kara and who she is, is the soul to me, and she at the core the same Kara as season 1, only more comfortable in her own skin as Kara. As Supergirl much more confident. As far as the other characters their journeys simply are not Kara centered this season, a d in my opinion that is very much based reality. The only character that seems to be adrift is James, and he was last season as well. They do not know what to do with Jimmy Oleson because, he has never been even close to who Jimmy Olsson is.

Perfectly said, SSAV. Keepin it classy, as always.
