Hmmmm I dunno it's really starting to lose me. It's like before, all the nonsensical stuff made sense in a weird sorta way. Now, everything is just a bit nonsensical full stop. Like Leo coming back just felt a bit dumb, and the slasher standoff thing at the start of the episode was just meh. Ben and his American civil war replaying is really tedious now, and James is just James. The thing about him is that he's an incredibly bland character. He's supposed to be, and it worked so well before because what he was doing related to the main plot and he was always with other not so bland characters. It made James's blandness really funny. When you give him his own storyline, and make him interact with another bland character then guess what, it's probably going to be quite bland. I couldn't care less about his stay out west; developing a bland character is a noble endeavour but it just won't work. This stuff with Windom Earle is also not all that exciting. I think that there was all too sudden a jump from a simple game of chess to murders and insanity etc. Also, it's just not as interesting as the previous story. The main thing intriguing me is the stuff about the White Lodge, which is currently moving slower than snail pace. The current rate is, every episode is getting slowly more and more tedious, so I hope the story can get more interesting soon
