Yay! That just resolved all of the nigglies that I had with the end of Boom Town that none of the other post-eps could. You just wrapped it all up so nicely. Super-super job.

I actually haven't read any other post-eps for "Boom Town." But all I could think about when I saw the tag was about that scene in WWIII, and the long-term implications. Plus I loved the idea of really examining Jack's role in the trio. And also, I can so totally see the Doctor willingly shouldering the blame and continuing to keep Mickey's secret.

Which is such a *stupid* thing for him to do. But totally in character, considering all the other blames he's willing to shoulder.

Like I said, screwed-up, but in a lovely-to-read way.

Poor Nine. He wants so much to always fix everything, no matter what. Hence "Father's Day."

On a completely random icon note, is that Chris Demetral?

Oh yes, as Jules Verne. Mainly because he was adorable. :)

I am coincidentially watching 1st season L&C on dvd this week as I sort crap from my office. I got to meet Chris and his wife at MWC a few years back, and he's just cute as a button and sweet as anything. One of these days, I really need to hunt down copies of Verne. Especially for the RoS connections (Michael and Mark).

Oh, I bet he is! I've seen some of the eps he was in in L&C, and I kinda wish he'd stuck around longer.

And I've gotta hunt down copies of RoS one of these days, since I've never had a chance to see it.

(TSAoJV sometimes has terrible plots--which, you know, is kinda expected--but the core group of characters is so fun that it makes up for a lot of things. And, like I said, Jules as played by Chris is a total sweetie.)
