I'd lost 99.8 percent of my fondness for Bo by mid-Season 3, but having spent nearly five seasons with him, it felt like losing part of my own family when he died. The Jonathan in my SV continuity has many of the flaws of TV Jonathan, but still some heart and perception. I've wondered, too, how much of the show's portrayal both of him and other characters/situations is intentional or just sloppy craftsmanship, and may never have a definitive answer to that question.
Interesting question you raise. I imagine Jonathan would have succumbed shortly to a heart attack, anyway, but it was unwise behavior for someone with a heart condition. I wondered, way back in "Krypto," if a heart-healthy diet included a t-bone steak! but maybe Jonathan just decided to enjoy life while he still had it!
"Reckoning" was a great episode. I've always wished SV would do some longer, or two-part episodes. They have a way of rushing things, and trying to cram over-ambitious storylines into lengths of time that can't do them justice.
