Jill is a terrible psychologist....


The way she mocks Tim and Wilson for remembering their first cars, then seems genuinely perplexed until Wilson brings up her first apartment--it's insane. How can such an obtuse, angry, spiteful person be considered a top psychology prospect (according to the show)? I've seen young children with better manners and insights than her, and that's without going into the other episodes where she constantly jumps to conclusions and pre-judges nearly every person she meets.

There is a man...he travels fast...he has purpose...he brings violence and destruction.

Although I liked this show, a problem with Jill as a character goes beyond what you said. She is complete sterotypical woman who hates action and horror movies, hates sports, and gets angry when Tim doesn't want to do the things she wants to do. There was also an episode in one of the early season where she insists Tim and the boys watch Sound of Music with her as if they would even appreciate it.
