Well I don't know about you all. But I don't really need to relate to a character to like it.
I mean let me throw out...I dunno...Starman. You know. I am absolutely nothing like Jack. I'm half his age. I'm not carrying on any kind of Family tradition or legacy or anything. In fact I gave the Family tradion a try, the military, and then said fuck no that's not what I want to do. I don't have problems telling my father I love him. Cause really the only thing I want out of him is that 18 years of child support he never paid.
My life in no way shape or form resembled Jacks. But I'll tell you what. Starman was at the time one of my absolutely favorite characters and books around.
