How 'Supergirl' Can Break Away from Making Kara Just Another Love Interest

After Kara's revelation during her coma in the Supergirl mid-season premiere that her current life is all because she took on the human identity of Kara Danvers, we need to see stories that reflect that. This episode seems to have cemented that Kara Danvers is just as important as Supergirl, if not more important, and that she needs to appreciate the "human" life she's been able to lead. But why -- after many revelations of how important Kara's life as Kara Danvers is -- is her life outside of being a superhero solely about being a love interest and ignores any other part of her life, especially her career? Let's see Kara embrace her career more and the writers develop stories utilizing her skills as a reporter, rather than just as an alien.
