Agreed. Jim has said one too many insulting things to and had one too many fights with Hallie to the point where she essentially told him it's over when she removed her things from his apartment. Yet with Maggie's encouragement, Jim is going to apologize to Hallie like he's trying to get their relationship back on track. Why? It's obvious Jim isn't going to be able to resolve the conflict between them. A conflict that isn't because of her job. The job just amplified how different these two are any why a relationship won't work between them.
This episode was relationship heavy ... in a good way. Will and Mac are now married. Don and Sloan are officially out as a couple. Then there's Maggie. Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. Why can't she completely let go of Jim? The guy isn't that big of a prize. I was looking forward to seeing what is going to happen between Maggie and Jack until he acted like a jerk to her when they were playing pool. They've only know each other for a few weeks. Yet Jack thinks he knows Maggie well enough to tell her they will have to talk about Maggie's feelings for Jim and how long he is going to put up with it. Jack needs to take a step back because he doesn't know Maggie well enough to make that kind of judgement or declaration.
Awesome! (Goodbye immature Hallie and second rate Mr. Ethics and Hello Jim and Maggie 2,0!) -Beautiful build up to the wedding/arrest Love the contrast on the digital age verses different kinds of journalism in this episode specifically. Very relationship orientated with just a couple of episodes left, things feel right as they should be...And is the source "really" a girl, or there a plot twist here?
Although I'm still rooting for Maggie and Jim, Jack being in the field he is in, does strike me as someone who understands behaviorism and ultimately the motives of people. He saw through Maggie's insecurity and excuse to hold onto Jim's life, as if it was her own.I don't think what he said to her was wrong, but it is discouraging on his own part that he felt a need to cut to the chase so soon, but I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to play second fiddle in matters of the heart. I know I don't!
I'm not routing for Jim and Maggie AT ALL, but I do agree about this assessment of Jack. And I'm sad that he seemed to resign so fast because of this toxic romantic dynamic Maggie and Jim have. I really liked him.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Jim is the WORST! He is literally the worst!
ReplyDeleteOther than that it was a really great episode!

ReplyDeleteOh, I know! I'm hoping he will eventually change his mind.
