User blog comment:Touchinos/“Jack in the Box” Discussion/@comment-2605:A000:122A:408A:A4D0:A333:6EBD:6061-20190419225458

When I commented last week that the situation might have been different if Jack and the Winchesters had a conversation, I meant an honest one!

Odd that, although Jack had been suffering from guilt or remorse for 1 1/2 episodes, when faced with Sam and Dean, he displayed none of that. Why does he have a "Jiminy Cricket" if he is souless? Why be upset the teenager was stabbed if he's souless? But why be so blase with the Winchesters if he has a soul? Either he is souless and can't feel or he isn't souless and can feel, but the character seems to be bouncing between the two.

And wouldn't the angels have sensed Jack's use of his power? Dumah knew there were no archangels left (sorry, Adam), so they had to have known about what happened to AUMichael. They never thought about working with Jack before now?

I thought Jensen's control of Dean's face between wamtng to kill Jack, restraining his temper, and then trying to be friendly was great. Jared also did fantastic between Sam trying to support his brother, trying to convince Jack, and feeling his heart break. How do you do the right thing when all of the options aren't right?
