Anyone else like Blackstone now?


Clearly Jackie has played him too and look at all he's done for love! He's not a villain, he's just a man in love.

...except for the part where he tells his goon to shoot her in the head.



Fraaaank. FRANK! Get my jean bin. Susie wants my jeans.
No she doesnt.

Well, she was stealing from him and, in his mind, sent some guys to kill him. He's upset. It's understandable. Love hurts.

i feel a bit more sympathetic I guess, but he's still a human trafficking dickhead.

Don't be insensitive. The politically correct term is "bad boy" or "lawfully challenged."

I figured she was the one who was responsible for most if not all of the reasons blackstone appeared to be the bad guy. I figured once the chips fell he would indeed be another one of her victims so to speak. From episode 2 or so she struck me as a manipulative succubus. Now lets see if chance is smart enough to get the hell away. Although he has plenty of his own demons.

Considering that he ran a human trafficking and forced sex operation he was evil in his own right. She may have taken advantage of him for her own psychotic needs, but he was still abusive and a criminal to begin with

reply

Let's see. He was into human trafficking. Creating slaves. Selling women for sex. He killed people as needed. He abused his position in the police to remove his competition. He was manipulative and abusive. I could go on, his list of crimes is pretty long. He was a villain and a criminal in every sense of the word.

Did Jackie take advantage of him? A little, but that doesn't in any way make him the good guy. Just because she could get him to hide her bodies for her was because he was already used to disposing of the bodies he created.

He helped cover her crimes because exposing hers would expose his own. That's as much self preservation as any form of perverse love you may be sympathizing with.

You are an idiot if you don't think he's the villain.

To say anything else of him is absurd and a symptom of how people think about this sh!t in real life. 

Name calling really isn't necessary. Just because you're feeling insecure does not excuse resorting to name calling. Move along to another thread if you're incapable of mature discourse. Talk about a villain!

He's an abusive asshat and a corrupt cop sh!tbag who oppresses women and girls and forces them to do god knows what else besides the obvious. Regardless of any trickery she may or may not have done, he's still an abusive asshat.

So no. I'm glad he's dead and that Jaclyn is free, as imperfect as she is (seriously, who isn't???). 

She's a murderer that preys on vulnerable men to manipulate into doing her bidding, and crimes, but yeah, she's "imperfect" and just like all of us. But you're glad a man is dead. Feminist, right?

Oh, and thanks for the spoiler. Very considerate.

"She hasn't even read the books..." - Elliot_Alderson

reply

Oh yes, she's a cold-blooded murderer.  She was in a therapy session with a super unethical therapist (seriously, TV/film depictions of therapy are horrible) who incited a fecking extreme panic attack. CLEARLY this was not a premeditated crime. She was driven probably to psychosis by a "professional" who didn't fecking know when to stop. Same with the doctor guy, a form of mental (and in the case of the doc, physical) defense. But sure, she's a murderer like Ray is.  And yes, being a manipulator is a human imperfection.

And if we're talking about spoilers, yeah, you just gave a big one away too, so don't sass me. 

And no, I don't call myself a feminist, but good try.

Oh yes, she's a cold-blooded murderer.

She brutally murdered two people then manipulated Blackstone to cover up both murders but yeah, she's just "imperfect." Like all of us.  Yikes!

I didn't give away any spoiler and sass? Lol, I'm not your kid. Definitely a feminist.

He's not as bad as I first thought, but he was still a very bad guy. Do I like him now? No way!
