Yes. Having endured a year of captivity for the Doctor's sake, Jack deserved a little less casual treatment from the Doctor
Absolutely and no doubt about it. While fics about about what Jack went through during the year that wasn't it no matter how off base they may be the Doctor still should acknowledge what happened (and why) to Jack on the Game Station, his own part in what happened to Jack afterwards (all those deaths, all that waiting) and the horrors of whatever happened on the Valiant. When Jack nearly begged for understanding over heading Torchwood I wanted to smack Ten.
It's totally fan-wank and high-handed... The Doctor could easily have come up with 100 ways to keep tabs on Jack, but instead he sucker punches him. Nice.
Presumedly the big picture isn't over. I can't imagine RTD not having Capt Jack crossing over to DW again
