he’s been emotionally compromised in both eps this season so far and like mistaking juliet’s eyes for green instead of blue and not noticing that she was wearing a wire. i have faith that once he settles (as much as he can) that he’ll get better

I think it’s because sometimes emotions can get in the way of rational thinking. Shawn was too busy worrying about Jules going out with someone else that he didn’t notice.
I can see that he might be compromised because of his emotions, but his incompetence is so reckless that it's dangerous. You'd think he'd have had at least remembered the last time he incorrectly accused a guy for a crime he didn't commit because he didn't investigate thoroughly enough. I mean, getting innocent people arrested is pretty goddamn terrible! Which also reminds me, why didn't that guy say anything about his innocence? He clearly didn't make those profiles, so why didn't he try telling his wife or even the police? HMMMM??
I also think I wouldn't have minded quite as much if Shawn had at least shown some guilt/regret over his hasty decision making, but it's never really something that the writers ever bother dealing with (which I guess is because they want to keep the show lighthearted BUT STILL).
Also I guess another one of my gripes is that those photoshopped images were really poorly photoshopped. Like, ANYONE should have been able to tell they weren't real photos. I had at first just assumed (if the photos were real) that they were a bunch of glamor shots and not genuine on-location photos since all the other lady profiles had glamor shots too, but Shawn figuring out that GASP they were photoshopped!! he wasn't really on a mountain skiing! just made me want to facepalm.
