Yes, he wasn't acting crazy, he wanted to huddle up and say 'here is the problem, let's collaborate and handle it.' That is pack cooperation. Yeah, and Damon was thinking big picture and long term, which he is *good* at - he considers the variables for the present and the future. Water supply=unavoidable - what, Caroline and Damon are just going to avoid using water? WTF.
Damon would be so much happier if he did not have to point out the obvious to people. 'Hi, danger is BAD. As a predator I know this. WAKE UP!.' Some of it is him being himself - that is the way he is *wired* and I think some of it is also he is used to being at war, he was a soldier, so he can function in that mode while other people flip out.
I don't have any tolerance for that sort of behavior - parents doing that to their kids, and yeah, kids often accept it, but it's wrong. I am thinking of a Bollywood movie where the son actually goes AGAINST his father, and everyone is SHOCKED, but it turns out that hey, the kid has weighed the morality and chosen the right path.
Caroline is not the young woman that her father envisioned, but she is a good one, and it's so hypocritical for him to say 'you are not like everyone else, so you're wrong.' She is clearly not attacking people, is living like a girl, has a family, etc.
Even though Damon was a bit cranky, that was her new family standing up and saying 'HI, WE ARE NOT OKAY WITH YOU HURTING OUR GIRL.'
