And probably, the intention o TPTB was exactly to make us (vieviers) hate Marie behaviour.

As I noticed before, he said to his wife about his mother only when he did, if he couldn't talk about a traumatic event of his life with the (supposedly) closest person to him I don't think he would talk about it with a complete stranger. It's not easy for Jack to talk about his emotions.

I agree with you here, Jack made the right choice in the end. Actually, I think he redeemed himself with that decision. He didn't made a good impression as father during the deposition, but he was a great father for renouncing to draw the process for who knows how long.

With as stubborn as Jack is, it seems that it really would take something like confronting him with all of his past emotional issues, problems to get him to acknowledge that maybe if he loves his girls as much as he says he does, that he might want to consider that the best place for them is with their mother. Wow, that was a long response! | Yes, it was 
I must admit that still I don't think Marie was a bitch, sorry Nikki. I gave a special attention to her posture during the deposition and she came across as unfeeling and cold. But this is just the point, she doesn't care for Jack, all she wants to obtain is to keep her daughters with her. Was it necessary to put Jack trough that? I don't really know, maybe she thought, as Meredith says that it was the only way to make he realize his shortcomings as husband and father. Would I have done the same? I don't think so, but I can't say for sure.
As far as the fav episodes goes, I like Moving On, Trip Box and Tree Falls very much mostly because I felt invested in the MP case (the letter at the end on Moving On was done very well). I forgot to comment on Our Sons And Daughters, a great episode and one I can't easily forget. I must admit that I’m liking most of S2 episodes, I try to give them a fair chance, no matter who is the most involved character. __________________ Eric, icon by Meredith |
