It is what confirmed my opinion that he really does not pay much attention to what is going on, until he is forced to do so. He is supposed to be reading the scripts, or at least the bible outline that is written far in advance, So it is hard to believe, that he reads of the murders of Jack, Abe....one after the other. O.K. But then Maggie, Caroline, Doug, Tony, ALICE!! And he says nothing???
Oh, the backlash from viewers was huge, and NBC got on his case but good, and thus..."don't care how, make them all alive".
Don't think he has learned a lesson, even to this day.
