just realized how horribly off track I've taken this fic commentary, sorry!
Oh, no problem! I've been enjoying the Boe discussion.
Another thought is that I really, really liked Boe as I thought he was: an incredibly old and wise alien, last of his kind. Making Jack fit the picture seems to me to do a disservice to both of them because it doesn't focus on the essential character of either: we're used to thinking of Jack as quick and reckless, the Face of Boe as slow and deep.
the other producer, Julie something or other, seemed annoyed he wasn't backing it up better.
Well, so she might, when it was his idea and they let him go with it.
