Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways
So. We seem to have skipped actual BW/PotW discussion and gone straight to S1 overviews, but I don't like leaving them out, so I'm doing them anyway. XP
So here we go into Nine's goodbye... hold on tight, boys and girls, this one's gonna be a bumpy ride and not everyone's coming out alive...
Vague refs for Torchwood and Last of the Time Lords.
( 'BUT YOU HAVE NO WEA-PONS. NO DE-FEN-SES. NO PLAN.' 'Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death.' )

Yeah, that plus the amnesia - it's more ingrained in the others who they are - although "Jack Harkness" isn't Jack's name either...
True, and he hasn't had it long enough at that stage to have pretty much made it his own yet like he has by the Torchwood series. Jack's probably used to keeping track of his cover story while disoriented.
Ooh, it is! I love it when he gets threatening. XD
YES. Nine is dead sexy when he's badass.
Jack still sucks at being secret though. XP
No question. They need to recruit the Haitian from Heroes to cover for them. then again, half of Cardiff would have swiss cheese in their heads.
Oh, I can see Rose getting used to her. It'd probably take at least six episodes, but it'd happen. Cos she is sweet, and Rose would see soon enough that the Doctor and Jack don't love her any less just they like Lynda too.
All true.
Oh, I wish you hadn't said that. I could just about spend my whole life writing AUs once I actually start writing again, there are so many really good potential ones...

Nope. Oh, crap... he doesn't get a chance to start coming to terms with that before he regenerates. Which means Ten emerges with all the guilt of derailing human history still fresh, ouch.
Really, the more you think about it, the less surprising it is that Ten's as fucked up as he is.

Yes, but the Doctor's had his name for longer than Jack's been alive, why wouldn't it be...
I'm still gonna say differences in brain structure is a large part of it.
YES. Nine is dead sexy when he's badass.
Ha, yes, I suppose he is. XD Especially since I think Nine's attractiveness is mostly about his attitude - I think of him as the charismatic one, then Ten's the pretty one, and Eleven's the dorkily cute one.

Yeah, that's a bandaid solution. They need to get better at not making so much mess, not just get a contractor in to do better clean-up. Although then we would have an excuse to get Nine and Claude in the same room - no, wait, you'd be dead on the floor, so maybe not.

Um. Thanks. Not sure they'll listen, though...

I'm beginning to wonder why it even takes him 2 and a half seasons to snap.

I was making an observation rather than arguing a point with that.

Yeah, looks are only part of a person's attractive appeal and Nine's attitude counts for a lot. He does have gorgeous eyes and a beautiful smile, though.

Yup. Maybe they'd do better without that ret-con crutch. Sink or swim.

Nah, go ahead. If my heart can't take it, that's okay, because it's a good way to go.

Come to think of it, that approach might just mutate some of them into bondage bunnies.

His baggage from the Time War alone is a nervous breakdown waiting to happen.

Ah, right. Sorry.

Yeah. Jack should note that UNIT and the Doctor don't routinely go about erasing people's memories, and they do fine.

That's where at least one of them started - two, actually, but the second one's actually a Fatal Death one... But the first DW bunny I ever had was Jack, Ten and a blindfold, so...

Exactly. And I think if DT hadn't left when he did, we would have seen that breakdown last a lot longer.

I can just imagine the Brig reading reports of what Torchwood gets up to (cause you know UNIT would keep a weather eye on them) and shaking his head.

Ah, so the whip and chair would probably attract the bunnies then. Definitely not the right tool for deterring them.

*pets Ten and his issues*
Speaking of Heroes as were a little earlier in the thread, look what I found:

and the sequel: http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=17102&chapter=5
Also, I meant to add these to the thread where we were discussing the Doctor's feline tendencies:

Haha, yes.

Yeah, exactly. Especially considering they already know I'll go in that direction, I have previous fic in another fandom to prove it.
And thanks for the links, they look interesting... XD
