Talk:Father Jack Hackett

"Jack is a very violent man. He regularly throws punches and bottles. Unlike Father Ted and Father Dougal, Jack is not afraid of Bishop Brennan, and has even gone so far as to bloody his nose. It appears that they were once equals."

Reference for them appearing to be equals? I can think of nothing in the programmes themselves which indicates this. Perhaps something in the scripts? Toby Douglass 23:47, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

Just the way they act around each other.

Just the way they act around each other made me think it.--Crestville 19:33, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think that it was Bishop Brennan that made Jack into the drunk bitter man we see him as. Brennon is enough to drive any man insane.

Testiment to the beauty of the show that we can talk about them as if they have a history outside of what we see on TV! My guess is that Brennan screwed over Father Jack to get his promotion to Bishop. I assume that's what you're all getting at... Definitely POV though! - 81.100.216.53 03:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's just that Jack is one of the few characters unafraid of Bishop Brennan. Autarch (talk) 18:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I hate that word, but this page is full of it. It needs to be encyclopediaified. --Simondrake 14:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're absolutely right Simondrake and I decided to "encyclopediaify" it. Cfslattery1 21:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Farscape?

Is there any evidence at all for the idea that the character in Farscape is a Father Jack reference? It seems... unlikely at best. The Flibble 23:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eva Peron and Hitler?

Flashbacks show him standing next to Eva Peron and Hitler

Which Episode is that? I just watched the whole series and don't remember that. -- megA (talk) 19:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was in some spin-off book that Matthews and Linehan did. 124.177.38.105 (talk) 13:20, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

merge?

is this page really necessary? a lot of the info here is contained in the main Father Ted article, and the rest can just be cut. perhaps a merge would be an idea? 87.224.19.114 (talk) 12:50, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
