http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0638708/First season episode where mac sees high school friend and NO METION OF JACK DALTON OCCURS ...
Again if this was a movie I would complain as a show I am giving the producers a bit of leeway as I want build up to familiar characters like Peter Thorton Jack Dalton etc...
Plus adding in characters not from the original show in a weird way helps to raise the stakes because Lincoln unlike Peter thorton could very well be killed. Gunner unlike Jack Dalton could be a bad guy...with the more familiar names coming in to replace the new ones who either die are written off the show or are really bad guys.
Like I said I am curious to see where this will go.
