As soon as I saw your "Owen" I had to read your thoughts. I was in love with Owen before I saw anything on the show. I'm bad. Yes, he is the comic relief and he is a pain in the backside, but he is our pain and I love him. LOL!
I agree with you on the Jack/Gwen relationship - he really admires her curiosity and humanity and can't help but be attracted to that. I also think that he answers her questions as honestly as they are asked - if one of the others were asking him those personal things, I think he would clam up. It's interesting that the loneliness theme is common to both series. I'm not a huge fan of Owen, but I understand what you mean. He's definitely a real character - he's one of those guys that you have to work with, but wouldn't choose to associate with outside of work, and we all know some of those!
I think we have just seen where the "date-rape" thing was going in episode 1.
Owen seems to have a lot of sexual agression towards women - he clearly doesn't like the woman he targets in the bar, and he jokes - nastily - that Gwen is the woman he'd turn to if he was infected with the killer sex gas. He certainly has very little empathy towards others ...
In Episode 3 he has been placed in the role of a woman who experiences sexual agression, and is forced to empathise with her fear and desire to live - and he is terrified even before he realises that how far Young Morgan will go...
I feel the same way (pretty much) like you do on the subject of Gwen & Jack. And I agree with you on Owen. I do wish the naysayers would watch some of Burn Gorman's other work. I think it would help them accept Owen a little better.
