Alex's scenes have had me either on the verge of tears or actually crying the last handful of episodes. #relatable
I think they were at a loss with what to do with James after (very abruptly) cutting off his arc with Kara, and kind of grasped for straws with the Gaurdian arc. I'm still not really happy with how that subplot was handled. Literally all of season 1 was spent building up James and Kara's relationship, and then an episode or two into season 2 it's done, and none of those feelings are brought up again. It was just messy. I'm not even that interested in them as a couple but it was lazy writing.
