(no subject)

Doing this transcript thingy, I have now a whole post in my head about Jack's strategies for conversational control. He makes flirting and (usually sexual) anecdotes a power move, filling up the conversation space. He does this chess knight thing where if he doesn't like where the conversation is going he shifts it sideways, changes the angle on the topic and makes it emotional, shifts things away from being logic about him to being emotion about... so far usually Gwen. It actually isn't very pleasant. But works pretty well.

Also, his boss-cred is so minimal it might be in negative numbers. He can do giving orders and he isn't pointy haired, he listens and makes sense and stuff, but he isn't good when people don't do orders. And where does he get that "We're both responsible" bit? Not out of logic land. He the boss, he responsible, or so he thought about the flashback thing before. This time he hands out responsible to get control back.

Can do examples later. Have other doings to do now.
