Subject: Thank goodness there is at least on other poster who gets what Carly is all about !! Chasing Jaaack is what she has always been about and to say that she doesn't have an agenda where he is concerned is sheer fantasy....how about the fact that she *just happened* to have the COMPASS with her....geeze ! And even though Jaaack is married that means nothing to this coniving sleeze !! What is really stupid is that he'll treat her the very same way he has FOREVER ! **

Subject: Miss M., I pretty much agree with everything you've said. Although I love the character of Carly, warts and all, this doesn't seem much different than Carly's usual MO. I'm also happy that you brought up Super-Jack's treatment of Janet. And I agree that Janet is not popular here, but she still is Jack's wife and up until this latest flap has always been supportive and forgiving of him. There probably will be the *BIG* reunion between Jack and Carly, but once again it will probably come at the expense of Jack's wedding vows. (The name Katie ring a bell?) I really like Michael, and there have been times when I liked Jack, but he is certainly no paragon of virtues. He is as flawed as any character on the show, and for fans to pretend otherwise is laughable./ Cricket

Subject: this post had nothing to do with Jack's culpability in th death of his brother. that's a forium beaten to death. i will say if it wasn't for Janet's Uncle Ralphie would have killed Katie & Jacob as well. certainly waiting for back up would have worked - NOT. now to the original post Carly is not going after Jack to jump his bones. the compass is symbolic but in this case I believe it is to bring Jack back safe. Jack is totally alone now. his idiot wife abandoned him at his lowest point & even gave sanction to Liberty poiting the finger at Jack as being totally responsible for Brad's death. I hope Jack kick Janet & Liberty's asses out wher they belong. right now there is not one iota of an agenda from Carly other than bringing Jack home safe & sound. condeming her for that is kind of wrong don't you think?

Subject: Miss Marple, you say that Jack is showing Janet no respect? I am no Jack fan but her loud harping every five minutes about the two beers when he was grieving his brother was uncalled for. He should have gotten away from that big mouth the way he did.

Subject: See, this is what I don't get. Jack DID have a *couple* beers before the shoot-out. Now whether that caused any impairment in his thinking or actions, I don't know, and won't speculate, but evidently it caused Janet, and I think Jack too, some worry. If she's upset about the situation is she not supposed to bring the subject up? That's not much of a marriage if she's afraid to talk to Jack about something that caused them both to worry. Janet did not go out of her way to tell Liberty. Liberty overheard them talking. I'm not defending Janet's *personality* here, but couples should and do talk about things that they are upset about. Topics shouldn't be off limits just because the guy in question is Jack. Of course Janet was upset. She had a history with Brad and he was Liberty's father. Is she not entitled to be upset and not have all her emotions under control at all times simply because it might upset Jack? Janet has always worn her emotions on the outside for everyone to see. Like her or not, that's who she is, and that's who she was when Jack married her. /Cricket

Subject: I am with you on the two beers thing Cricket.. and I hate Janets trampy hide. The thing is, Jack was drinking, he obviously felt weird about it or he would have told Margo right off the bat. He didn't, that would naturally make Janet wonder. I know if my husband did not disclose it it would make me wonder if HE thought the couple of beers was something to hide. And if not impaired, why hide it, shame? Maybe, but it would still give me pause. Janet is a selfish insensitive harpy- but I can't fault that instinct to question WHY Jack held back on admitting he was drinking. It does not matter if Jack KNEW he was not affected by the drink- he should have disclosed it immediately./dandyfop

Subject: forget for a moment Janet's obsessing about Jack's two beers. where & how did she react to her Uncle Ralphie who is responsible for this tragedy? how come she hasn't hunted down the thug in prison? why hasn't she told Liberty about her Uncle Ralphie using Brad as a human shield & would have killed Katie & Jacob? that's because Janet was very much aware of who & what he was. when Jack returns & his grief has come under some control that's a convesation I want to witness.
