I agree with the Stinkorama on this one....the thing that has been
sorely lacking these past few years is a Jack with a spine.  Now that he
has his back, all the great facets of his personality are also coming
out.  Matt Ashford is a superb actor and to only have him acting a fool
is a waste of talent.

Well..I can understand Tim and JoJO and Rose's Point - I'd be a nervous
wreck if my husband was risking our entire financial future...but at the
same time, Jenn has been more supportive of Carpyicecreamlips than she
has of her own husband...

I don't think it's petty - I think Jack has suffered through a lot that
has eroded his already fragile ego and for Jenn to talk to her father
(and then BLAB it to everyone!) was just the last straw for Jack.  He
has supported and respected Jenn and done what he has thought was best
(in that Jackian way) throughout their marriage. For her to betray him
like this was a slap in the face.

ME too - their initial meeting seemed very forced, too contrived and
uncomfortable.  AND Stinky would have remembered this "so-called
Forsythe case" that they were working on and she certainly would have
remembered a BET!...
