Wow, this is an amazing story so far. God, I love Cillian! Haha. I just wanted to say that if he had a wound in his leg, they would have taken off his pants (m :p) and definitely seen he had something strapped to his ankle. Other than that, it a rare case of consistency and no OOC. I love it!!

Holy Darts on Toast! This is beautifully written and some pretty deep stuff you've got going here! LOVE the detail and you've practically nailed Jack's (he'll kill me for that *laugh*) character right down to the letter and I can't wait for the confrontation between the two . . . if there is one, of course. I'd to assume anything.
More! Please?

QOTRS~*~

Amazing chapter! It's okay that you took so long to update. This chapter was worth the wait, even though it was short. Is Jackson going to hand deliever the note to Lisa or is he going to have someone else do it? I can't wait to read more! :)

Nth Degree, you MUST update more. I'm dying here. And I'll be honest with you... the first time I read this, I got scared off when you had Jackson off that orderly. Oh God, sent chills down my spine...all that slicing and dicing, and his thirst for blood. *Shivers* Just goes to show you how she does resemble quite a few of us vulnerable orderlies who will also fall prey to a pair of Cillian blue eyes. Certainly cared the SHEEIT out of me. LoL. So. I ALMOST stopped reading. And I never left you a review either. I am ashamed. Your writing is TOO GOOD to resist. Much like Jackson Rippner. And your Jackson is so dangerous! This fic should come with a warning label. Thank sweet goodness you're back. Please keep up the amazing stuff ^_^.

Okay, I'm about to read the rest, so far I've only read the first chapter, but I just want to say that my throat actually hurt while I was reading this! NICE JOB SO FAR!

Mwahaha! Delectable! And very cringe-worthy. That scene was uncomfortable for me to watch, not just because My Silver-Screen Paramour had just been stabbed in the throat with a pen, but just because I'm a wuss. I was wriggling around in sympathetic pain, hand grasping my unmarred throat lest either of the guyfrinds who accompanied me got a similar impulse. It still makes me wince to read this. But it's good. Very good. I liked immensely. Now I don't know whether to demand that you write more "Red Eye" or "Batman" fics... how about just a little of BOTH? ;)

Man, it took me so long to review! Sorry! Your story is great. Very well written and I love how you get the different words in there...the different parts of his personality? Whatever, lol, they're still cool.

This is my favorite "Red Eye" fic yet, hands down.

Your Jackie makes my skin crawl, literally. He's absolutely perfect, scary and psychotic and clever and just **hot**. Where on Earth do you draw your descriptions of pain from? They're positively...well, painful. And, twisted as this may be, I've basically been obsessed with the whole pen thing since my brother and I saw the movie about a week ago; we've been joking about it at every opportunity ("Don't make me PEN you" is my favorite one) and it's satisfying to see that somebody else is acknowledging that it happened. A lot of the fics I've read, while still WONDERFUL, feature a fully-healed, perfectly coherent and un-hoarse Jackie, which is pretty silly IMHO. (I'm obsessed with throats. I was an opera student, and so my voice--along with everybody elses as well--is an essential part of life.)

Poor thing, not being able to drink the water! I want Jackie's first meal to be clam chowder. When it's fresh from the pot, it's hot. Like him. Even though it can't wear a scarf. Because everything is hotter when it wears a scarf, especially Cillian Murphy. But poor clam chowder, it cannot wear a scarf, because it has no neck. That's okay though, Jackie's hot enough that clam chowder, when being eaten by him, needs no scarf. Why chowder? I don't know; I'm on about "chowder" right now, and I'm sick, so I want soup, but we don't have any. But I digress.

The inclusion (and portrayal) of the Taylors in this fic is AWSOME. They were one of my favorite bits of the movie. So annoying. It would've been satisfying to see them bludgeoned, but since they have a son in Uni waiting to meet them again, and knowing personally how it feels to want to see your parents after a zillion years slaving away at school, it would be too sad for Michael if they died. Ah, well. Jackie has bigger fish to fry, I suppose.

I'm going to marry your original characters in this order:
1. Stupid teenaged girl check-out person
2. Stupid naive but cute little nurse Jackie mauls earlier
3. Stupid FakeTeacher!Jackie...who isn't at all stupid and not even an original character, but a cutie-pie nonetheless.

Let's see, what else...I love your writing style, in all your fics that I've read (including your BRILLIANT Crane ficcy, which I haven't reviewed yet). I love your grasp on insanity; it freaks me out. Your description (Jackie's description?) of Lisa is equally wonderful and equally freaky. This story's pacing is good; it isn't too rushed, and this chapter is the best filler fluff I've seen since...well, I can't come up with anything clever to say, so just know that this chappie is fine.

Hmm...so that's all, methinks. Besides the fact that I'll bake you cookies if Jackie gets to eat clam chowder, so that I might live vicariously through him. Don't deprive the boy of his clam chowder. Anyone who's been through this much deserves it. Oh, and update soon. That's all. Really.

yay so happy u finally updated. SPANX! And I truly love this fic. Keep going . Ur a master when it comes to Jackson.

I've been reading this from the start, and I've gotta say, I am VERY intrigued. I loved how this started out as more of a character study. lol, are you the one that started the 'impromptu tracheatomy'? I saw it here first and then noticed other fictioners using it. I read that first line with it and couldn't help but laugh(sorry if that wasn't the effect you were looking for). So cool.
Anyways, way to use a dictionary! I'm having fun AND learning!
Your writing style is top notch, with seriousness, humor, and so on. keep it up!!

(Chuckles mischievously) Watch those drinks... they can get painful when they shoot up your nose. I know from dozens of agonizing (but sadly hilarious) experiences. Once I actually shot baked goods up into my nose... it hurt really, really bad and wasn't pretty... yeah, TMI, I know. I'll be quiet now.

But seriously! Who could resist Dr. Crane? Someone actually made a comment as to him and his couch, you know in the shrink way, but as I have an innuendo-crazed mind... yeah, you know where that one went. I'm a sad, sad person. Maybe I'd be happier if I could see Crane for twenty-four hours... possibly even one... okay, I'll stop.

Okay, onto the review! (Cracks knuckles) Once again, a disturbing word in the chapter... it's been in there five times already! When people use the word 'of' (I just cringe writing it!) it scares me. Could you /please/ stop putting it in the titles?

...that was a joke. Duh =)

I was really referring to the word 'animosity'. Whenever the dictionary definition of your word-of-the-chapter pops up, I just get this image of Jackson sitting in his house in total silence, the clock ticking quietly, Jackson occaisonally flipping through a few pages to look up his next evil word. It never fails to bring this huge grin to my face.

Another hilarious image is Jackson in the grocery store, perusing the aisles with growing anger while Napoleon Dynamite music plays in the background... if you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite, download one of the background songs. It's elevator music and never fails to crack me up because it's so fruity. Ugh. I don't blame him for getting angry- prolonged exposure to that type of music makes you want to KILL! KILL! KILL! (cough) Ahem... anyway...

I /lurve/ filler fluff. And I love the fact that the people he's taken advantage of so far (except the poor ditzy orderly) have been people who have DESERVED it... (grumblegrumble) stupid guard... JACK, my butt... (grumblegrumble) Sorry. It's a thing of mine. If I could, I'd get on a giant soapbox so that I could let all the world know that it's JACKSON! That would earn his favor, too... maybe. Or maybe not. I don't know, sometimes he's hard to read.

The image of bludgeoned, bleeding Taylor bodies is very, very pleasing. Stupid people. Thank you, Jackson =)

Again, I love those inner thoughts. Jackson's /awesome/. He's also very evil. Why must we love him so? (Sigh)

Semi-interesting note, I'm so used to imagine him rasping things out that during the flashback of the phone thing (“Hello? Cy-nn-th-iaa.” Heh heh... that's hilarious. I loved him in that scene) it was hard to revert to normal-voiced Jackson. It's okay, though. I'm good. I just get stuck in certain states of mind.

Love the chapter, as usual. Oh, yeah, one last thing- my brother loves the game "Hitman", too. I've never gotten too interested in it, though maybe I should... Jonathan (little brother) loves running around and shooting innocent people (usually failing the mission on purpose) so you can understand. I had an interesting Hitman dream one time... but I can barely remember it and even if I could, you probably wouldn't be interested =)

Loving it! Keep up the fabulous, beautiful work. I love you for giving us such excellent Jackson! (Hugs)

(Hands over a Jackson T-shirt the same color as Jackson's pale-green shirt, with the quote "BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE" on the front in red the color of the scarf and Jackson's eyes on the back... keeps one for self also) Crap, when are they going to start making Red-Eye merchandise?

Good chapter! And that darn elevator music! It's so evil and so are the Taylors! Awesome chapter! Please update soon! :)

Nice job on this. Every story has a point when it needs some filler fluffy stuff. Anyways, "Hatred. Such a pretty thing." Loved that line. It's so typically Jackson.

Brilliant, does Jackson want a get away car, because I'll just go get in mine and pick him up and...all right all right I'll stop rambling. I am always so blown away at how good you are at nailing Jackson's character. How do you do it!!? Heh, can't wait for the next chapter!

I love this story! You write Jackson awesomely well (even though I don't think he'd be able to get a piece of glass into a hospital - creative license is a wonderful thing), and working in those definitions into the chapters makes this a wonderful read. Please, continue!
