Victor Clemente's arc (what the hell was that?!)
So I just got finished with the Clemente arc and, I really don't understand what they were going for.. at all.
When he first turned up it seemed like he'd be a great and competent foil to Kovac in the way Weaver was to Greene and I liked his character. But then in the space of 2-3 episodes he turns into a coke snorting trainwreck and then there's the whole sub-plot of the corrupt cop and the shooting that feels like it belongs in another show entirely and never seemingly gets resolved.
Finally, he just goes insane from paranoia/sleep deprivation and then the writers wash their hands of him. I know season 12/13 is peak schlock for ER but even this felt over the top.
How does everyone else here feel about the inclusion of Clemente and the arc of his character?
