couldn't agree more with Logan42 about this episode and about the general feel of the show... I don't think much that's essential was revealed with this episode-- the mystery about Jack's tattoos could just as well be solved in some other way, it deserved less than a 40 min episode of its own. Plus, I'm not much of a Jack fan either, and I'd have preferred to see this episode shedding light to more important stuff going on in the script at this point.

Sorry to say that Jack and Achara's make-out scenes were some of the most UN-hot screen sex I've ever seen- you could totally see there was no professional chemistry or attunment going on between the actors. I'm disappointed in producer's Bai Ling choice- why some (B) class celeb whose stance was already exhausted in adult magazines and MTV singing contests long before the show? Why not a prettier, more talented and more convincing Asian actress for the role? Then again, Jack's a man of bad choices so that explains the tattoos, the girl and the whole episode.
