I saw a link on tumblr suggesting the whole line counting thing on Dark Angel is actually what Jensen was thinking of/referring too in this video at around the 6:10 minute mark, although obviously no one knows for sure
But yeah the story I always heard was that Mark Weatherly very much made Jensen feel unwelcome, and I guess he felt like he had more power on that set because he was dating Jessica Alba, so the two of them would complain together to James Cameron when they felt like Logan was getting pushed aside. Whether there was an Alec heavy episode, you’ll notice he has less screentime the following episode, and supposedly that was to keep Weatherly happy. It really sounds like Michael Weatherly was manipulating Jessica Alba a little bit and using their relationship to his advantage because he felt threatened at how much the network and the writers (outside of James Cameron) were pushing Alec in season 2. The writers were the ones who spilled so much of the BTS gossip on TWoP in fact, they really didn’t care for Weatherly
