Why was he dating that brat?

Yes, it was all in his head, or was a quest through hell, or what have you, but that girl he was with was the biggest brat ever in film. Why would anyone date her!

She burned his old pics of his kid, covered him in ice to cure him from being sick?(how does that even work), told him to get up and do something when he was dealing with horrible nightmares and didn't know how to go on. She only cared about herself and how his behavior made her look. She was horrid!

When someone has a fever so high that they're about to die from it, they put them in a tub filled with cold water or ice, in order to bring the fever down. Don't you watch "House MD"? So she was only trying to save his life at that point.

There may have been more to her then meets the eye. Some of the script never made it to the screen. In one deleted scene, we see her turn into a demon.

She was pretty hot. That's your answer.

No who gives a *beep* if she hot. Which she was not by the way. She was an annoying bitch. She deliberately got the names' of his two surviving sons names wrong.

She was _very_ hot. You sound jelly

Because she looked like Elizabeth Pena.

^^This. LOL! Seriously, though she did that to save him. She was definitely in love with him.

The quote about how when you are dying and holding onto life, it seems as if demons are tearing your life apart (burning his pictures). But when you let go and accept it, it is just angels freeing you. You didn't make that connection? When that chemist called him and met him, and she told him "don't go". She was attempting to make him accept his fate and let go. She wasn't horrid. She just seemed horrid, since Jacob was holding on to life.

I always find it amusing when fully grown adults are described as "brats".

I want to live in a world of magic and miracles, not emptiness and entropy.
