I'm thinking about my stranded thing.

Sam is going to get the chemistry between the guys.

But I want to write one of the guys as clueless.

So. Which one is more fun? A Jack who is self-aware and a Daniel who has never quite realized what is going on between them?

Or a Daniel who is trying to hit Jack with a clue-by-four (to steal an expression from CJ) and a Jack who gets it a beat too late?

In the spirit of Adjustments, I'm tempted not to choose, but to write the same story both ways. But it seems dumb not to just make a decision and pick one.

Though this is not the only problem I am having with this story. For one thing, I am seriously debating character death, which I never do.
