well, except for that whole boyfriend getting killed at the end of last season thing.
eh, he was just overextended shmuck bait. They never really got the happy before the pain.
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Was that a consequence of her saving someone else? I may have missed the last episode, I really don't remember what happened there.

I saw the last episode, and I can't remember what happened. All I know is her "boyfriend" died and somehow anti-Tru was involved or responsible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And that's why I like the introduction of Priestley's character.
See, until Priestley appeared, she was just doing what she was asked to. The question didn't come up until he posed it, and like Vortex, I feel they've answered it too patly.

I think that Jack also gets a message from the dead -- I'm just not sure what the message is.
(It would be nice if we could have an episode entirely from his POV.)
Last season: Harry dies. And speaks to Tru. Because she manages to save Harry, the boyfriend is killed. He doesn't come back.

Also, given that not all of the dead speak to Tru -- what is it about the ones that do, that enable them to speak to her?

Well, sure, if you stick with what's actually aired instead of what I wanted to be there. I can't say I'm terribly happy with how they've handled the conflict now that it's there, I just feel like it's got more potential to be closer to what I wanted it to be all along.

So how was Jack responsible exactly?

Jack was trying to prevent her from saving Harry, I think, but explains to her that a balance must be kept.
If he weren't so annoying, I'd be on his side.

The problem with the balance idea is that I don't think that they've followed through with it -- could we see what people died because Tru prevented the deaths of other people?
