It's Captain Jack!!!


Why does he have to be such a dick in his first appearance?? I loved him in Torchwood but I didn't like the way he was macking on Rose in 'The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances' two parter.

He gets much better in the series down the line. I came to love him on the show before Torchwood.

Thanks for telling me that because I was a little underwhelmed by his first appearance. Not the Captain Jack I know and love from Torchwood. Though I do like how no one seems to have a problem with his bisexuality right from the beginning.

Is he really a human from the future? Why can he regenerate himself? Could he always do that or was that just a Torchwood thing?

Keep watching. You'll see.

That was the whole point about Jack from the start: Was he an antagonist or a hero? Decent or douchebag? Like his sexuality it could go either way.

BTW, don't forget to include the Christmas specials when you're going through the series. Those are just as important as the regular episodes.

I have all the Christmas specials. Do I watch them after each season? I am really lovin' this stuff btw.

Katie said...

The Christmas specials should be watched in order. The leftover emotional baggage won't make sense if you take them out of order.

Also, Jack is just an equal opportunity flirt when you first meet him. Don't worry, he'll find his conscious amongst the dust and lint soon enough :)

Oh, yes, Jack's ability will be explained. And you will love it. Always watch it in order. You'll get so much more from it.

"Highly Detailed Posable Figure" Ummmm...just how highly detailed? Like anatomically correct details? Just sayin'

'Anatomically correct' like Ken is anatomically correct. I don't like bulges on my action figures.
