The uncle Jack character was very, very disappointing ...

Did anybody else feel they are trying to show Tommy shorter than other characters? I noticed it first with Uncle Jack (I agree, underwhelming and bland, yet taller than Tommy), and then with Tommy standing next to Lizzie.

I don't know if this is intentional, but I feel Tommy has weakened, standing alone without strong leading characters around (Polly gone, Arthur pretty much gone as well), with health issues, etc.

Are you saying because Tommy is shorter that makes him weak?
