Heh, a fun, flirty Jack in anyone's life could only be a good thing!
The pattern being the same for Sarah Jane as it was for the Doctor reinforces my belief that she's supposed to be Doctor Mark III (Jack is Mark II), what with her sonic lipstick. Jack immediately inherits the tenth Doctor's lack of compassion and his shoutyness, in TW, thus he's Mark II. I can't imagine Jack in TW reacting the way he did in "Utopia" towards the news of Chantho's dead conglomeration... in TW, I think he'd've had the same reaction as the Doctor, ('I knew it! Didn't I say conglomeration?' as opposed to 'You're supposed to say you're sorry, Doctor'). Sarah Jane and Jack should be themselves, not imitations of the Doctor.
Me too. I was seeing what I expect to see, and what I wanted to see. Aaargh!
Me too. *sigh* Me too. :~( My rant about The Episode That Never Was is still the top entry at my lj, if you want to read it/comment.
Martha showed overt concern, but the Doctor was entirely focussed on the Master.
I was thinking of "Utopia" -- I can fanwank the Doctor's coldness when he sees Jack, dead on the ground (feeling the prejudice), but when Jack does the power boost and the electricity courses through him and he dies? And Martha starts CPR and the Doctor stops her, gets her to stand beside himself instead of with Jack? That really pissed me off. The Master hadn't even been revealed yet, the Doctor has decided he has just the man for Yana's radiation room problem... and doesn't do a damn thing to make Jack's coming back to life any more comfortable. Bastard.
I'm glad you like how I refer to the so-called finale. :)
I actually had decided to stop watching after the finale, but a friend is going to keep watching, to see if it gets any better, and then I saw there'd be an actor or two I wanted to see.
Felicity K. is an English actor who I've seen in a few Britcoms (The Mistress, Solo very famous for The Good Life aka Good Neighbours, and recently was in a mystery show called Rosemary and Thyme.
The other reason I'm going to tune in is to see if Donna resists the Doctor's spell somehow, (doesn't fall in love with him) and smacks his ego down to size, only slightly bigger than himself, instead of the size of the universe. I'd be happy if she gives him lots of smackdowns and he becomes more likeable.
I still like 9, but yes, 10 is approaching incredibly unlikeable, which is a shame. It took me two times through all the Tom Baker episodes, before I finally started liking his Doctor (and he was my first! Cripes, has it really been almost 26 years since I started watching?!? Eep!). I don't see me wanting to rewatch most of DT's episodes, because Ten and Rose annoyed me, and hello? Martha enduring sexism and racism for a month or two (or however long it was) in "Human Nature"/"Family of Blood", getting a job and supporting herself and Ten in "Blink" weren't enough to prove she's a worthy Companion? Pshaw! and Pfffffffttt! Apparently, even dying for the Doctor isn't enough (see Jack).
