Yeah, as more is revealed, this arc seems to be more about Jack's bastardry than anything else. Which, yay! The anti-hero!
there's this weird element of simultaneous worship and disgust, it seems.
... In some ways, RTD is quite a good writer. In others, he is sort of terrible.
Yes, this and this. My cultural studies brain is a bit too rusty (hah hah, pun unintended) to properly dig into that side-by-side awesometude and fail. To be honest, I think that lack of consistency may have something to do with the multi-author nature of television-- there's Rusty writing and producing, but then there are the actors, and the director, and editor, etc etc, all influencing the characters and story as well. I suspect if it was ALL RTD, there's be more fail.
