(no subject)
so with Captain Jack's return to Doctor Who just around the corner, fandom is in a complete tizzy. therefore, i figure this would be a great time to do a captain jack harkness pic!spam, complete with commentary.
i'll be starting with the Doctor Who episodes, then towards the end of the week, touch on the Torchwood eps leading up to his return. so without further ado...
The Adventures of Captain Jack Harkness
Part 1 - Of dancing and gasmasks
When we last left the Doctor and Rose, they were following some phallic looking object through the vortex, which has aparently landed in 1941 London during the Blitz. The Doctor ducks into a club to ask if anything has fallen from the sky, while Rose sees a small child with a gas mask ontop of the roof of the club. There's a rope hanging down, and instead of looking to see what it's attached to, she just climbs on up. It just happens to be attatched to a giant war blimp, which the official name is completely leaving my head at this point.
Then we see this guy with binoculars...but they're super high power binoculars...
Who is all "HAY WOMANZ! Cute butt. Oh yeah army guy, yours is cute too."
Meet Captain Jack Harkness. Playa' extrodinare.
So while Rose is screaming for the Doctor as the Blitz is going on around her, and the Doctor talks to a cat and is v.v. confused over his TARDIS phone ringing, Jack wanders off to play the hero. A blue vortex trap looking thing saves Rose as she's falling from the rope, and then falls into the arms of the waiting Captain Jack.
Rose is all "WOT" and Doctor's all "HAY" and Rose is all "Hi." And then she passes out.
The Doctor meanwhile is dining with a bunch of homeless kids and the creepy gas mask kid. o_O
Back in Jack's love shack spaceship...Jack and Rose bond over psychic paper.
Then Jack pushes a few buttons on his watch of amazing things and figures that she's not from 'round these here parts.
After fixing Rose's hands with the nano-genes (yellow dust particle thingies), he takes her up on the top of the spaceship. The...invisible...spaceship.
Where they have champagne...
...He charmingly woo's her...
...and they dance to Glen Miller's Moonlight Serenade.
Meanwhile he rambles on about the thing he found and buying and time agencies, but Rose is all "Were you talking?" In which all of fandom was all "HAY CAPTAIN JACK"
The Doctor is off trying to figure out what's going on with the crazy gasmask kid with one of the orphans, goes into a hospital to talk to another doctor about crazy gasmask kid, and then HE turns into a crazy gasmask adult.
Jack is then able to track down where the Doctor is by scanning for alien technology or some babble and finds the Doctor in the hospital with the crazy gasmask guy. The Doctor and Jack meet, and it's just a whole lot of sexy in one small corridor.
Rose tells him that they're time agents too, and says the Doctor's name is Mr. Spock. Nine sort of has the ears for it...
Back in the room with the crazy gasmask people, Jack is scanning them with his watch of amazing things, going "WOT?!" They start talking about the phallic looking thing that Jack found and the Doctor was chasing, but Jack is all "STFU THERE'S CRAZY GASMASK PEOPLE!"
We then find out the phallic look thing is not actually a war ship like he told Rose, but an ambulance with nothing in it. AKA space junk. That's when we find out Jack is really a con-man and fandom goes "OMG WE HATES YOU! BUT YOU'RE STILL HOT"
Then the crazy gas mask people wake up, moaning for their mums. And the three of them are like WTF?!
AND THEN WE GET A CLIFFHANGER DUN DUN DUUUUNNN
Fandom freaks out for a week.
We come back with a recap, which we get to see all of last episode's Jack pretty. And the creepy gas mask people. The episode convienently starts with the gas mask people still walking towards the Doctor, Rose, and Jack.
The Doctor says "go to your room." And they do. And everyone has a laugh. Except Rose aparently. Jack is thinking "oh. That was hot, do it again."
Jack then explains how the con was supposed to work. And shows off a bit of his gay-ness...
...then has a laugh about it.
The Doctor gets pissy, Jack's all OMG I HATE JOO
But he runs after him anyway. The Doctor asks if he has a sonic blaster to open the door, and Jack gets giddy like a school child who was just given a gas mask lolli, and he opens it.
Then the Doctor rambles on about the 51st century, Jack says that the factory he got it from is gone, then the Doctor muses about bananas. What is it with this show and bananas? Rose then comments about his clothing, and Jack is all "yeah, I'm hot."
Inside this room, there's all sorts of creepily drawn pictures of a "mummy", a recording of the little kid, and the orphan then puts the fat man in his place. win.
The recording stops, but the kid is still going. They just happen to be in the room that the Doctor sent the kid to. CRAZY GAS MASK KID!
Jack tries to be a hero by pulling out his sonic blaster, but instead pulls out a banana. Doctor FTW!
They then get cornered by the crazy gas mask people, Jack flashes off his blaster, while the Doctor just has...a screwdriver.
They run away from the crazy gas mask people, get cornered again, Jack disappears. Great.
But then, he's back on his ship! Talking to them through a radio.
And then he plays Glen Miller. Great time to play Glen Miller.
After musing over the Doctor dancing, they're suddenly on Jack's ship! Jack then wants them to continue whatever it was they were doing. Dirty, dirty Jack.
They muse for a bit. We find out that two years of Jack's memories have been stole by the time agency. Oh Jack, if you only knew that your memories weren't the worst of your problems...
They get to the bomb site, and some awesome music plays, which makes them all look like bad asses.
Jack tries to flirt with the guard...
...but it doesn't work out in his favor. Because it's 1941 he's turned into a crazy gas mask guy. Jack looks like he's going to throw up.
So they find the phallic shaped object ambulance and Jack is all "no really! It's just an ambulance!"
Jack tries to open it, sparks fly, alarms go off (and for once it's not signaling a bomb) and all the crazy gas mask people wake up.
We then find out that there really isn't anything in the phallic object ambulance. Except nano-genes. Which escaped when it crashed. And there were enough that it could rebuild a race.
Jack: Well fuck me.
Lots of mummy calling and almost a bomb later, we find out the little girl is really NOT A LITTLE GIRL! SHE'S THE MUMMY! DUN DUN DUUUUUN
Jack then disappears again.
So the little girl mum tells the crazy gas mask kid she's really his mum, he turns back to normal is not dead (WTF?), but there's that pesky bomb that still needs taken care of.
In the best timing ever, Jack's love shack spaceship stops the bomb. And look, he's riding a phallic object.
(i know, he looks dumb. work with me people)
The Doctor asks him to stash it, and for the third time this episode, Jack disappears.
and EVERYBODY LIVES!!
Back on Jack's spaceship. In space this time. He's talking to his ship...and it's talking back...
He then iniates some last protocol since his death is eminate. This protocol? Having a martini.
While sipping on said drink, he tells the computer about how the last time he faced death, he ended up in bed with both of his executioners. Jack, you're such a whore.
Just as well all think (and Jack thinks) that Jack is going to die, we hear...GLEN MILLER! Not one to argue about what's going on, Jack makes a run for it, and ends up in the TARDIS.
(It's bigger on the inside!)
He finds the Doctor trying to dance, and it doesn't go well. Rose tries to get Jack to have the next dance, and the Doctor says that he's sure he would like that. "But with which one?" So he's Bi. Fan girls rejoice!
Jack is then a bit offended. Whether it's because a) the Doctor implied his gay-ness, b) the Doctor picked Rose, or c) the Doctor DIDN'T pick Jack, we'll never know.
But it doesn't matter. Because the Doctor and Rose have a dance, are happy, and Jack is happy for them.
EVERYONE LIVES!
Next time on the Adventures of Jack Harkness - Cardiff and Time Rifts and Slaveen, oh my!
All caps came from here, with the exception of the cap of Jack with the banana, which came from here
Part 2 of the Adventures of Jack Harkness should be up sometime tomorrow. :)
eta: whoever pics this up for torchwood_three, can you pass it along to who_daily as well? i think it would be a bit weird for me to toot my own horn in a post to the editors about it, and i know i'm not on the who_daily watch list, only the t_3 one. :) i finally joined a doctor who community. so it should show up on the watch list. :)
i'll be starting with the Doctor Who episodes, then towards the end of the week, touch on the Torchwood eps leading up to his return. so without further ado...
