This is fascinating. Your MJ is not only depressed but bitter as all get out. It hurt me so to read this and realize that you were absolutely correct. My only question is whether he would have tried to harm Aeryn. I see John as basically someone who takes guilt on himself. He worries in Losing Time whether he is really the clone. It must be on his mind all the time. When TJ comes back with Aeryn in your story, I would almost see MJ doubting his own existance and trying to end it rahther than trying to end TJ's life.
Your version is wonderful because you construct poor MJ as sitting and watching, which I so can see. He watches everything. He becomes the cynic by Season 4 when all hope is lost. John without hope is a bitter, twisted man. Without his constant to keep him sane, I can see him slowly loosing it. And here you rub TJ and Aeryn in his face. You write his pain so well.

Great commentary.
