I loved this movie, but Jen really annoyed me...

Here are some things I don't get about this character:

1.) Why did it take him so long to figure out what the crystal shard was for? Didn't Augrah (sp?) already tell him at the beginning of the film?

2.) Why did he wait at the last second to heal the crystal? He was right on top of it, and then he just stared at the three suns for a long time. It it that hard to put one little shard back together?!

Just my thought on #2 - Tension. It was done that way to build the tension.

2# Tension and it just looks better with the beam of light coming down. My old man always says that Jen should be burned to a crisp. lol.

1# jen is not the most confident or cleverest of heroes, loads of people i know comment on that when watching this films.

its still my fave film of all time though.

Didn't Jen have to wait for the conjunction to occur before fulfilling the prophecy or something?
