Fleeting Obsessions

Since Doctor Who isn’t airing in the US yet and I don’t want to inadvertently spoil anyone who is waiting for it to eventually air on SciFi, clicky clicky!

Okay, it is now more clear to me than ever that Captain Jack Harkness has become my favorite character in the Whoverse. I much prefer him to No. 10. He’s on the short list of “default fictional characters of my soul”.  Funnily enough, it was seeing Jack and 10 together that made me realize I will never love 10 as much as I loved Nine and I’m liking him less and less this season.

I am so full of ridiculous love for Jack. Just seeing him run like hell trying to catch up to the Tardis before it left. When 10 saw him on the monitor and just fired up the Tardis to leave him, in that moment I really hated him. I don’t hate him now, but I don’t think I’ll ever recover completely from that moment.  Jack’s life has been basically fucked ever since he met up with the Doctor and Rose.

As for the episode, loved it to pieces. Derek Jacobi is made of AWES! and JOHN SIM! OMG OMG OMG! How am I going to survive to next week?? HOW????  And the whole conversation between Jack and Ten and Ten telling him it was Rose who made Jack immortal. I just asdfghjklQ!

Did everyone notice Barrowman was in the actual credits and not just a guest star? That really pleased me (have I mentioned I love Jack like Whoa?). So does this mean we have him until the end of the season? Or is the season just about over anyway? Hmm. I guess it is, isn’t it? That was episode 11, part two is next week and I’m guessing they’ll extend this story until episode 13 since it seems doubtful they could wrap it up with just one ep. And we only get 13 eps right? 2 MORE EPS WITH JACK, YAY! (I assume!)

AND THEN WHEN DOES TORCHWOOD START OMG WHEN??

I LOVE JACK HARKNESS. THE END.
