To me the whole James as Guardian was too farfetched. It was basically a ploy to make him relevant. In many ways, James is to SG what Laurel was to Arrow. The SG writers simply have no idea what to do with James and  are just hoping something sticks. In my opinion, they should have either kept James as the head of Catco only (with a few instances throughout the season to make him want to suit up) or kept him as the photographer or whatever his job previously was and had him suit up as Guardian. Not both at the same time. At least with Laurel, wether we liked it or not, she was destined to be  Black Canary and her progression wasn't bad. James it seemed like he just woke up one day and was like " SG isn't enough, I need to suit up too!"
