I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU, LENKOV

And I have a bone to pick with the writers. The fact that Jack did not walk right in to see Oversight and give his own notice of resignation as soon as Mac left that door says to me that everything they were trying to build in this relationship - Jack following Mac to California after declaring nothing would stop him from seeing Texas, Jack signing up for another tour after saying all he wanted was to get stateside, Jack vehemently declaring that he is there to watch Mac’s back not do anything else for Phoenix besides watch Mac’s back (please see Season 1 Episode 8) - means nothing and they don’t really care about Jack’s character at all.

You wrote this man to be living a Wookie Life Debt with Angus MacGyver and then you write him into letting Mac WALK AWAY? Chewie never left Han, even after all they went through, he never thought “Oh hey this is nice here with the rebellion and Leia guess I’ll just stay while Han goes somewhere else” - HE WENT WITH HIM. He and Han are out smuggling their way through the galaxy even when they’re old and grey.

Why did you not let Jack follow Mac out of Phoenix? Because as far as I could see, he had no actual obligation to stay. Riley was considering leaving, she was with Billy, and if you think she hadn’t talked even a LITTLE with Jack about her thoughts about leaving the life to settle down you are again, sadly and woefully, misunderstanding YOUR OWN WRITING, and Bozer had Leanna to watch his back so he didn’t need Jack to watch out for him while Mac was away.

Without Mac there, Jack had no obligations to Phoenix or Matty or Oversight.

Why didn’t you let him walk out that door with Mac?
