Yes yes yes, me too! Honestly, I didn't find Kendra all that engaging or interesting in and of herself, but her interactions with Kara were when she really became human, for me. Fascinating stuff, watching their relationship grow, and I wish we could have gotten so much more out of it.

Totally agree with greenkitty above that she was one of Kara's few equals in the military, and that in and of itself would've made them all kinds of awesome together on the same screen.
