Subject: Marty, here's my dilemma. Even though I am really shooting this thing down, MP is making me want Jack to reform. The problem is that the storyline is so stupid that I can't get into it. I see MP choking up as Jack and my heart goes out to him until I realize that what he's doing is actually boneheaded, dangerous and thoughtless. MP is just that good that I keep forgetting that I really hate Jack and THAT is the writer's fault IMO. I was really disturbed about the Ben Franklin suicide sl because Jack needs to think about his kids...HOWEVER that was much more effective and realistic and sympathetic than Jack going to find Mike and getting in that race. In light of what he did to Craig and Ro, it would make complete sense to show this man entertaining thoughts of suicide rather than getting behind the wheel of a car and endangering himself and others just to ''help'' Mike and Katie. I just read the spoilers for the next encounter and I am encouraged because this seems more like Jack trying to really ''help'' rather than just wallow in self-pity and do dangerously stupid things that could leave his kids fatherless. eom Linny
