Oh My God. I never saw that coming... the idea that it wasn't a warning per say, but a message of hope.

younger, muscle bound and pompadour-wearing self

lmao, so true, yet so funny.

YAY! Thank you!

Yeah. Jack in Doctor Who just. Wow, Jack. Hair.

I know there was an actual reason for it (according to the commentaries JB hated it, but they needed the hair a certain length for the Moffat episodes and were filming those three all at the same time so he had to have that hair for "Boom Town") but still. Wowsa that's hair.

And I will never, ever get over the look on Jack's face as the TARDIS dematerialized on the game station. holy cow, that's acting.

That's *really* interesting to know - and I'm not surprised JB hated it. It doesn't look comfortable.

So much, so. It's this half laughing, half crying, desperate kind of disbelief all mixed up in love. I LOVE that moment.

Trust Jack to give his younger self a fashion tip :)

Like he's got a lot of room to talk (I say with fondness)

Excellent! I also liked that it wasn't really a warning.

becky_writing October 28 2007, 19:14:40 UTC

Thank you!

Yep Jack did love the hair spray in seson one! Lovely piece about giving hope to his freer about to be abbandoned self...

becky_writing October 28 2007, 19:24:16 UTC

Yes, yes he did!

Thank you!

Oh yes, thank you, yes. Because that moment when Jack realizes the TARDIS is leaving without him, just kills every time.

I especially love the part when he first meets himself, from the joke that doesn't work to the urge to take his place. Oh my poor boy.

becky_writing October 28 2007, 19:35:43 UTC

It really kills me, too. His face is such a mix of emotions, and it hurts more because of it, I think.

I want to pet him, too. Thank you!
