I'm afraid I wouldn't call ALP a prima donna if that's what your implying, he is a versatile and very gifted actor, whilst I respect some of your views, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Sorry, I DID NOT mean to be offensive,,,gosh ! the problem of language ! I APOLGIZE, I am Italian, English is not my mother tongue so FIRSTLY : I beg you pardon if I have offended you or anyone......Then I'll try to explain : Saying " Prima Donna" I wanted to say a someone who centers all the attention on him/herself alone , leaving no room for anyone else., keeping them aside. in the dark..(I thought this Italian word was know in other language like ; bravo or other Italian words used in music which have no translation...)All the actors are clever ( the only one who, in my opinion, is a bit...stiff and not very expressive is Elena...she is a bit too cold...) but it is sad to see this too obvious less of balance between the actors...they are not a team working together and wat has lost its real focus ( the missing persons...) I repeat it is not Jack's or Danny's minutes on the screen ...but the main characters are the missing persons ( in my stricy opinion ) ...In no other show the attention is focus so much, too much on one or two characters ( here Jack 7 Sam )I followed their story at the beginning, but now, I think it is a bit..too much... I DO understand the happiness and joy of their fans of course, it is natural...but I love action and not love stories ( I would watch something else ) I watched, sorry I used to watch wat with great attention because I loved following the stories of those missingpeople and looking for them with the team, rebuinding their lives......but now...no team...no sign of their old friendship...a love story show..... (Please, let me know if is ti clear now the meaning of the word "prima donna" ? It has nothing to do with "donna " that is woman...it is NOT offensive)

I think it is probably a language thing, although your English is great by the way. However, I didn't find it offensive anyway because we all have opinions, but it had nothing to do with the female aspect. I primarily think of a Prima donna as egotistical, unreasonable and irritable, with a rather high opinion of themselves not shared by others and I just don't see Anthony Lapaglia as this, but I know you didn't mean that now. It just shows you how everyone is different because I do enjoy the show because of the romance, primarily Jack and Sam. I enjoyed the first few seasons because we saw a lot of flirting and issues between them, then seasons 4 and 5 came along which I didn't enjoy so much. I know the show is about the missing person and of course it wouldn't exist but for that. Let's hope that they will start to balance the episodes a little better soon.

That is as it MUST be...everyone expressing his/her own ideas...hopefully different ideas. peacefully...just think if you and I had exactly the same feelng : you would say : great !...I would say: ditto! ( I agree ) " that means...end of the story and of our exchange of opinions...Luckily we are ALL different and it is great to share different ideas ( without being aggressive and offend people : that's why I stopped answering to some people )Anyway I just let you know this : I am making a dvd with the scenes of Danny....do you know in one episode ( season 5..I guess ) for how long he was allowed to appear ? Two minutes and 25 seconds....in another 1 minutes and some seconds...If Jack's , Sam's, Martin's......supporters were Danny's suppoters, wouldn't they be little disappointed ? If Jack appeared only for two minutes...how would they feel ? Wouldn't they say _ Hey ! Why this ? Is there a reason ? - They were entitled to ...I would agree with them, even if I were not a fan of Jack's...that's what made me sad : to Jack's fans , that is right...That's what I do not think it is fair in the show, that's what I cannot understand : why the first seasons followed a path, then everything changed,...I can survive that, of course, there are more important things in life... but I,too, would like to sit and enjoy the show, like Jack's fans, like I used too, when I enjoyed the TEAM, instead now, I switch the tv off, feeling a bit disapponted...I cannot understand why they dislike him so much... what he did wrong, he is not a bad actor. and he doesn't seem to be a bad person, like the others in the show...I cannnot understand the reason why...that's all. (Please let me know if somehing is not clear, I am alwas afraid to be misunderstood it is easy when the language you use is not yours ( like...Prima Donna...sigh ) Mirella.

Mirella, I've said it before, don't worry about your English you do a great job. I hope that you get some decent Danny scenes soon. I think in another thread it says that the next episode should be a good one for danny/Elena fans and I do hope so. Enrique is a fine actor and I like his character very much. Anyway, I suppose we are going off topic here a little so I'll keep this brief. I do hope that the series progresses so that it gives all of the actors a chance to shine.

I do not see that we lost the bad-arse Jack Malone, as I only see his character acting as he always did.The "demotion" is an interesting twist, and will keep Agent Malone in-check for awhile. It will be interesting to see how long this "new boss" lasts. Will his departure be part of this season's storyline, or will he be taken out due to the displeasure of the show's fans?Personally, I would love to see Agent Malone knock his guy out, though not as the "bad-arse" character. More if this "new boss" ( sorry I do not remember his name ), got out of line somewhere. Maybe putting the team in unnecessary danger, or making a out of line comment about a member of the team. That should be in the episode where Jack Malone "redeems" himself ( as some of the fans here believe he should ).Just my two copper jackets...

No, I don't think its unfair. He deserved it all. You know what other great show that I've seen and that you should check out? Novel Adventures.noveladventures.c bs.com - check it outsee ya - Lizzie

Oh, this is just a form of spam, like your other posts in other threads. Novel Adventures doesn't have any actors I like so, no, not for me.Now, back to WAT.

Hi everyone! i just read all of the posts in this forum and i don't think i've missed any episodes this Fall, but i haven't seen his boss recently. Am i missing something or has he been reinstated?Have a great evening!

i don't think so

oh. O.k. Thanks! and have a great evening!

Like everything that happens to Jack is unfair. Jack Malone is the BEST EVER!
