So, it gets better?

I have enjoyed both seasons and thought this one was better. Could they have developed Jack more at a personal level? Sure. But they did develop his nature as believing in a true right versus wrong and willing to say frick convention and the "easier path" that has always been his character.

Let's be honest, this season had a LOT of elements of (SPOILERS)

























Clear and Present Danger, just like last year pulled plot points from Rainbow Six.

They've done a good job in staying pretty true to the character. Remember, by the time of Hunt for Red October, he's over a decade out from Annapolis (73), was married to Cathy and had been an analyst for CIA for some time. Yes, Red Rabbit was supposed to fill in some blanks before HFRO, but there's still a lot we don't know about him.
