I think the show was kind of dumb with whole Owen spray thing.I don't really get how it never even occurred to them that the Owen spray scenes as played out might be considered non-con.I suspect they were being someone disingenuous to be honest. But even without that I found Owen pretty unpleasant especially in his behaviour towards Tosh in s1. He was always so particularly nasty towards her for no other reason than the fact that she had the poor taste to find him attractive. And her just taking it when she didn't even deserve it just made her seem pathetic and since I liked her I started to feel resentful on her behalf. I agree he had the most growth on the show though. At least in s2 I could somewhat understand why people might want to still hang around him despite his bouts of arsiness.
Gwen I can take or leave. She always worked better for me as part of the ensemble than as a focal character and I always found her a bit too sanctimonious and hypocritical for someone who wasn't above crossing the line when it suited her ends. But I tend to think she means well most of the time, but the show just tried to hard with her and I think it kind of backfired.Plus in order to keep her our point of reference character they often ended up making her seem kind of dumb.
Jack. I go back and forth with him. I think I should find him far more fascinating than I actually do on the show. He has all the hallmarks of a fascinating, complex character and yet more and more I just find him kind of ugh. I don't think it's really his fault though. I just find the writing for him increasingly problematic.
