No, you misread my comment. He was manipulating the mother of his child not Beth. He's a very smart, intuitive guy which is why he's good at figuring out crime scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if we learn that Jack is sociopathic or perhaps borderline based on some of his actions and behaviors.
Ok my mistake but again make her question her behavior he brought up his mistakes and didn't make excuses.
He brought up his dad died but didn't say that's some excuse for his mistakes. He says he's a changed guy
I'll disagree with you he was manipulating her.
I believe that was him attempting to make amends for a person closest to him he hurt. Even she doesn't ever see him as a changed man or forgive him he's removed that weight off his shoulders, and has the satisfaction of some closure.
I believe that was him being genuine.
But if he's revealed to be borderline to being a sociopath, or sociopathic then kudos to you.
I doubt that he's a freakin Nick Naylor kind of character aka a spokesman for tobacco in the movie Thank You for Smoking.
If he's got a problem with you he's going to say it. Doesn't mean he doesn't times have where he attempts to avoid things such as the whole sex with a coworker that he tried to avoid talking about until she brought up the having sex when they had coffee.
You say or he's just a bad actor which I clearly know to be crap. Now whether you meant Jack or Dylan is unclear.
But if you do mean Dylan McDermott he's the furtherest damn thing from a bad actor to even say that is freakin insulting.
