[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 321514, member: 2740"] I thought he did that quite well initially, but as time went on (at least in the Dream Season) he ended up as kind of a dithering, relatively weak guy without much purpose. I guess it was mostly the writing, but I found it very hard to suspend disbelief as Jack completely lost his mind over Jenna. They'd been building a friendship over a handful of weeks only a few months after her fiancee and the love of her life had died tragically, yet he threw melodramatic yet kind of wooden tantrums over and over after she let him know, quite understandably, that she wasn't ready for a new romantic relationship. Hell, Jack and Jenna hadn't even kissed yet as far as the viewers knew. Sure he could have fallen for her to a degree at that point, but man... you're not young Peter Richards. Have some restraint and understanding and patience! Of course her delivery was a bit strangely and awkwardly dramatic in that Priscilla Presley way, which didn't help. The whole thing was basically written to be overacted, and they delivered in not the most believable way. "it's about this long, and wait 'til you see how thick it is!" - Mr. Mahal [/QUOTE]
