I've finally made it to "the bad part" of Season 2

I just watched "Checkmate" and this is the stupidest shit ever. It has gotten so bad i'm enjoying it immensely. I don't have any friends that watches this show, but i have to share my thoughts because this show is insane.

\- James' subplot is incredibly ridiculous and makes no sense, with him just living in this random woman's house and becoming a stoic defender of her while knowing nothing of her while Donna is almost entirely gone from the plot.

\- Bobby is just fucking with everyone. Shelly wasn't even mentioned in the previous two episodes

\- The US Civil War schizophrenia might be related to his childhood, but every scene with Benjamin is utterly insane.

\- Catherine seduces the man that tried to kill her, oblivious to him having lost his mind, which is very weird, but Ben saying "Onwards to victory!" while making out with her was great.

\- Jean Renault being beaten by fucking delivering food to him in the middle of a shootout and shooting him when he uses both hands to carry the plate he is being handed is also an incredible writing choice.

\- I have no clue what is going on with Andy and Dick they both seem to have entirely forgotten Lucy and gets along to sleuth out Nicky for some reason? They're having fun. I can't complain.

I liked it more when it was good, of course, but this is very entertaining still, especially knowing it will get good again. Cooper is still adorable and charming, i really like Denise and the Windom Earle plot seems as crazy as the rest of the show. Now that i think about it, i don't even think Laura was mentioned in this episode, which says something.
