The most punch able face in all of the Alpha Quandrant
I’ve barely started S6E9 (literally; just past the opening credits) and I already want to turn off the episode and delete it permanently from my collection.
Hm? Hm? Hm?

Neurodivergent characters are difficult to play well. Definitely didn't have a good handle on them in the nineties.
All things considered I think they did a pretty good job. He reminded me alot of someone I went to elementary with. They were insanely smart, for example he could recite the entire periodic table at 10 years old from memory, Atomic mass and everything. They were bullied relentlessly by everyone. I havent seen them in years but i could totally imagine he grew up to be similar to Jack.
Yeah, i worked with someone in a complex field that had a very similar personality. Inanely abrasive, very intense person, but not threatening in any way. Instant temper, but not dangerous, would just lose their shit over anything. It was farcical.
They were excellent at the job and adept at their hobbies, but basically insufferable in the same way as Jack.
Although Eureka has got to have one of the worst depictions I've ever seen.
