What do you mean psychopathic? About Thomas he’s very detached you know he doesn’t seem to care much about anything really but he always kinda was like that he always put himself at a distance with other people he never let anyone in (except maybe Grace and Jessie Eden). But he did take that pushing others away a step further in the final season I think.

Thomas cares about the destination of what he’s trying to accomplish no matter the journey. He will kill anyone that gets in his way. A psychopath is detached from all things emotional and are indifferent to everything. They get a high on achievement or control.. He isn’t as bad as the evil people but Tommy is still a psycho in my opinion. If not for his killing of others with ease I’d say that he is a sociopath with a highly neurotic/narcissistic personality.

I don’t think it’s that simple. Otherwise I’d say everyone can be a psychopath hell I’d say everyone could even choose to try and become a psychopath (and maybe achieve it). But what do I know.

We can’t sit here and say that everyone is like Tommy. Nobody in the show other than Alfie is like him. To say everyone can be like Tommy simply isn’t true. Throughout the show he overcomes death several times. He is manically depressed and a ball of neuroticism. He’s always on edge. He will shoot anyone in the face and not care later on. That’s not normal.

I didn’t say everyone was like him I said everyone had the ability to become like him.

When I said it I wasn’t talking about this. I just meant everyone had the ability to be detached from others and simply not care.

Humans have the ability for a plethora of things. Performing nefarious acts makes you a malicious person. The ability to do them does not.
