John James seems like a decent, principled and very perceptive bloke who considers the feelings of others and shows considerably maturity in some of his behaviour, yet he seems prone to strangely immature reactions to such minor things as the curled-lip expression of Rachel.
His extreme response to Rachel's facial antics may be driven by his dislike of her self-obsessive nature and her disdain for people she thinks are unattractive, but it does seem a little odd.
Perhaps he young age is enough to account for this quandary, his character and social skills are still developing, and perhaps in fact he is precocious with regard to his maturity and the sillier behaviour is simply what one would expect of someone of his age.
An odd character trait combination or just precocious?

I haven't seen the obsessive behaviour your describe on the highlights, of which I have now seen 99%.
I think tonight's highlights exemplified the behaviour I was referring to. He is playing right into Rachael's hands because she can revel in her role of victim.
