I would give anything to know what's up with the Jack Spicer reference. I always kind of hated the beats (except sometimes for Gregory Corso, for some reason...), but after going back and exhuming some of (the real) Jack Spicer's writing, I can definitely see where the self-aggrandizing, effusive foolishness of Christy Hui's Spicer came from. And it's pretty accurate to update an annoying old beat poet from San Francisco into an annoying young raver, probably also from San Francisco. Does that make Ferlinghetti and Kerouac Jackbots? Awesome. (paragraph)
Jack is maybe the most interesting character on the show. He's neither bad nor good, but sort of a comic relief Hamlet. Ruled by his fears and still living with his parents, he has ambition but is confused about what to aspire to. Finally, he's maybe an example of what can go wrong when east meets west: at best, he's always either Wuya's sycophant or double-crosser and it's tempting to say that he stands for something more.
