Additional Comments: My favorite narcissist is having a meltdown, the sanctimonious, prideful, bullying, hypocritical, rigid, judgmental and pompous Jack realizes he's not perfect. When he fell from his self important grace it's a delight to behold. What right does he have to come in Carly's house unannounced? Even Carly resented this fool coming over to constantly remind her that she was a flawed human being who could never live to his exacting standards. It's either the fact that Michael
Park can't act or perhaps Jack is so emotionally constipated but even when Jack shows emotion it comes off as stiff and stilted, maybe that's how Jack is suppose to act.

When all the actors have me teared up, cheering and sneering like today, that's good soap! Bravo ATWT!
"My favorite narcissist is having a meltdown"
(never in a million years would I think I would ever say this but) I blame and thank Janet for belittling and bullying Jack; he now has come to this. A man who questions himself at every turn.
And hopefully when he recovers and has learned a thing or two, he will leave Janet.

Message: I can't stand Jack, but MP practically had me in tears while watching Thursday's show. I hated that. I also can't stand Katie, but TC got to me, too.

Who lately has ever gone on any kind of self discovery? Craig has killed people. Nothing for him, but he's a good guy now. Paul??? Nope. Just went crazy and now he's not anymore. And those people didn't do their stuff accidentally. Jack is the least of our worries on a show full of murderers.
That being said, I am SOOOOOOOOoo glad he gets to do it cuz MikeyP rocks my freaking socks. And when I say rock em, I mean rock em. And I hope he gets the emmy he should have gotten long time ago. On a medium and in an acadamey that can overvalue scene chewing, I love it when it recognizes an actor who is real and in the moment. I hope they decide to do so here. And that "liar" he whispered to Craig. GET IT MikeyP GET IT!!!!

If I had to flip a coin between sanctimonious, prideful, bullying, hypocritical, rigid, judgmental and pompous Jack or sanctimonious, prideful, bullying, hypocritical, rigid, judgmental and pompous Holden I'll take Jack every time.

It has been a long time since I teared up while watching ATWT. This week has been water-works central!! Between Katie's enormous grief and Jack's heartbreaking guilt I feel as if I've lost someone I knew personally. Even watching Janet tell Liberty about Brad and watching her silent sobbing was heartwrenching.
As far as I'm concerned the acting this week (of those involved with the Brad storyline), including Michael's, has been stellar.

Message: MP is my favorite actor on the show. Like others have said, when he shows emotion, I get emotional right there with him! He's just awesome to watch. So I couldn't disagree more with your opinion of his acting abilities.
Jack.. well. It's Jack.

I have often been critical of Saint Jaaaack in the past, but I think Michael is doing a fantastic acting job right now. I don't consider Jack a hero in this, for all the reasons that have already been stated, I consider him a fallible human being who made a tragic mistake trying to do the right thing. I do think the fact that he was drinking....whether it was exactly two beers or not...will play into this somewhere down the line. Or maybe it is already, and that is one of the reasons he feels such guilt.
I loved his raw and powerful scenes with Craig today. Jack and Craig have always had an interesting relationship which in some strange way enhances both of their performances, IMHO. They spoke the truth loudly and clearly today, instead of their usual sarcastic barbs.
I don't know what the next few weeks hold for Jack. I've read the spoilers and know that it could either be powerful or hokey. If they continue to give him the right material I think Michael should be a certain nominee for an Emmy next year.
I'm not a Carjacker, primarily because of the way Carly has been treated, but if the character of Jack does some REAL soul searching and returns to the original smart, funny, and caring Jack that we met years ago, I'm willing to accept them back together.

Message: Iguess the statement here is that you hate Jack. Got it. Right now MP is carrying ATWT on his shoulders. The actor that you think is stiff is giving a tour-de-force performance. This is a remarkable storyline that is as good that I've seen on the show in years. Lastly it was an accident killing Brad.& he is the least person culpable in all of this.

And it only took shooting and killing his brother to do it! LOL
I have to disagree about MP- I find him very affecting during emotional scenes- whether the story is there or not. Right now I am wondering if this story of self discovery for Jack will be anything near what it could be. Much of Jack's identity is wrapped up in this idea that he is a super-cop- a seasoned professional and all around good guy. What sort of professional shows up impaired to a hostage situation, with a civillian no less- and discharges his firearm into a black room where he knows hostages are being held? I am sincerely hoping this story is not some pilgrimage to find *Kate* someone else to straddle to heal her broken heart more than it is the story to fix Jack.

Message: I love how the town is rallying around Jack. The shooting an accident...my a$$. It wasn't an accident. Gun shooting Jack reacted instead of using his brain. Jack is a trained detective, spent many years with the FBI...he should have known better than the shoot his gun in a darken warehouse without knowing where everyone is. Didn't Jack know that Katie was kidnapped and being held in the warehouse? Now St Jack is being pity for his so called "accident". GMAB!

Message: I feel the total opposite about Michael Park. When Jack shows emotion, MP breaks my heart. I love when we get to see vulnerability from Jack. You can see his struggle to be strong, tough, and trying to hold it all together, while really he's about to crack and break down in tears. I think Michael Park shows it perfectly.
