Torchwood: Jack's hand...

I deliberately picked an icon showing Jack's hand for this one.

darthhellokitty and I were discussing - well, never mind what we were discussing, it was prurient, but it was fun, and it got me thinking about Jack's hands. And how nicely he uses them, and how sexy he can be with them, and in my head, I started composing "the best uses of Jack's hands" - though sometimes it involves other people's hands, too.

Jack's Ten Best Uses of Hands

1. In "End of Days", when Rhys is lying in the cell after Bilis' attack, and Gwen is hysterical, Jack, kneeling, turns his head away and crosses his forearms and his hands are fists. To my mind, that posture is incredibly sexy: strong and emotive and vulnerable and tragic. Brilliant.


2. In "Ghost Machine", in the shooting range with Gwen, there's a moment where he touches her hair to get it out of the way. Gently.


3. In "The Parting of the Ways", just before Jack kisses the Doctor, he touches his face.


4. Healing Rose's hands with the introduction of the nanogenes in "The Empty Child".


5. Kissing Rose's hands on top of the invisible Chula starship at Big Ben. When he's coming on to her, and she loves it.


6. The scene where Ianto is working at the computer, and Jack puts his hand, just for a moment, on Ianto's back. Which episode is that?


7. The way that Jack touches Gwen's hand in "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang".


8. In "End of Days", in the morgue, Jack washes Rhys's blood off Gwen's hands. Both sensuous and caring.


9. In "Captain Jack Harkness", Jack and the Captain intertwine fingers.


10. In "Day One", I love the way Jack holds and caresses the Doctor's hand after Carys has shattered its casing. And the concerned, even reverent, look on his face.

So. Am I forgetting other good hand moments?

Added later: Yes, I am forgetting a good hand moment, though it's a spoken line, not a visual moment. It;s that wonderful line in "Greeks Bearing Gifts" where Jack says, "Interesting because, firstly, the man had the biggest hands I've ever seen."

Added later still: maaseru says I have gone Seriously Around the Bend with this post. I can't think why. It seems perfectly normal to me.
