The consensus of Michael watchers around here seems to be that he's a sociopath -- charming on the outside, utterly self-consumed on the inside. Nobody else matters to him except to use them as tools to his own ends (do you hear that, Jodi?). If you can't see past the charm, if you don't look at the facts we've uncovered about Michael abusing Terri for ten years with the power of legal guardianship, then MS will seem to be a normal citizen. Even his lame excuses for killing his wife will resonate with people who have been conditioned to think that Terri is brain-dead and on a respirator.
BINGO, there it is again.
