I would have liked JT so much more if all of his ultra-manly green beret lingo and terminology had been used more ironically, that he wasn't taking it seriously. 'cause for the most part it comes across ridiculous.
That's so true. I kept wanting JT to have more of a sense of humour about it all, but he's all stoic stoic stoic hey let's have some sex! I'm not really buying him as a character, and I'm not particularly liking him, either. Or even disliking him. He just... is, which is really the problem.
Lucy, as you say, is far more likable, though she's hampered by the somewhat stupid plot.
