I wish more of John Barrowman's singing had been released on CDs. So much that I'd want to hear.
Thanks for the description of Marshal Tenpou - the story sounds good, and he sounds like the kind of hero I like, too. There's that certain style of hero - ! There might be a single word that describes them, though I'm not sure what it would be. Paradoxical? Ambiguous?
I remember watching him in "Empty Child", hearing him telling sweet little lies in Rose's ears while dancing, voice as smooth as velvet or violin or more things whose names begin with "v":) No wonder Rose didn't understand a word of what he was saying...she wasn't listening to the words, but to the voice.
He was hypnotizing her, not so much with words as with motions and sound.
But there isn't so much threating in JB's voice in that confrontation scene; Jack is seducting, which is an important part of the basic self-protecting skills of Captain Jack Harkness. Or I should say, the basic social skills.
Very good point! For Jack, 'social' and 'self-protection' are pretty much the same thing; he uses charm and seductive technique as this most effective weapon - even when hunting Weevils.
