Struggling to repair her relationship with Lena, Kara takes her frustration out on James, berating him for telling Lena about their secret investigation. Luckily, what we do get of James is powerful, and actor Mehcad Brooks takes full advantage of it. “The Fanatical” gives James his most well-developed storyline since last season’s “City of Lost Children.” It isn’t quite a showcase episode like that one was there is too much else going on - quite understandably, since we’re getting close to the finale, and the season has lots of dangling plot threads to resolve.
But he couldn’t escape shadows altogether.
James left Metropolis to escape Superman’s shadow. He, Kara, and Winn - the original “super-friends” - rarely spoke to each other anymore. His decision to become Guardian came out of nowhere, as did his romance with Lena. Suddenly, the show seemed to have no idea what to do with him. Whether because of that or for an entirely unrelated reason, James retreated to the sidelines, replaced by Mon-El as Kara’s main love interest and by the DEO as Supergirl’s partner. For starters, Supergirl moved from CBS to The CW, joining the rest of Greg Berlanti’s superhero series.
