Shakespeare didn't specify the amount of alteration, did he? My point is that Jack's love is true in that when he fell in love with Irina, he didn't fall in love with a college professor or whatever she was pretending to be, but with her--her essence, or whatever you'd care to call it. It's a transcendent sort of thing because whatever happens--time, circumstance, realization that your basic understanding about the beloved one is false, etc.--love doesn't waver. But for Jack it's potentially tragic because he had the misfortune (assuming that Irina is evil, of course) to fall in love with Irina in this way.

hmm...i see your point. i suppose i was being a bit cynical. i didn't really see that great love between jack and irina though. jack just seems (emphasis on seems) so emotionless a lot of the time, that it's hard to read him.

But Jack wasn't always that way. He became that way after Irina abandoned him and her daughter and he had to go undercover with Sloane. (Maybe I should post my little character study after all . . .) He pulled back emotionally to protect those he loved and to prevent himself from tipping off Sloane--he probably realized that if he didn't shut down he wouldn't be able to prevent something from slipping. Plus, he was hurt really badly (emotionally) and couldn't get over it. So he just let the scar tissue (of unemotionality) grow over it, so to speak. In my opinion, there's still a lot of emotion--love and hurt--within. He tries to hide it as much as possible, though, because love=hurt for him.

i loved it
to bad they didn't show more.

I liked it, but I felt sorry for Jack and Sydney. But I think that Irina wanted to show that she does love Sydney after all.

I absolutely agree with LENAFAN-You guys aren't thinking outside the box-it isn't about the age,it's about the tension and passion that these two characters share,even though Irina betrayed him so badly......Think outside the box,it would be stupid to assume older people don't get it on.I'm 19 but I thought it was hot!!!!
