Hey all, first post here and such. I was joking around with my friend on IM last night and doing a funny commentary of the scene in which ( spoiler here )
By way of introduction and if nobody minds.wadjet_thepervJanuary 3 2007, 23:48:23 UTC
There's a darkness to him because he knows too much and has seen too much. That's the feeling I get, anyway. He's also seen death and knows what lies beyond, and that scares the hell out of him. He realises that this is all we have and we should embrace it with every atom inside us. I really think this is where his intensity springs from. I see the same darkness and intensity belied by quick wit and humour in this Doctor, too and I have to say it's quite the turn on in both of them!
Jack reminds me a bit of Methos. Someone who'd been there, done it, killed it, shagged it and was immortal. Living that long, seeing those you love die while you continue (had a little experience of that myself), and not having the risk of death hanging over you (not that part, obviously!), it would have to change your perspective on *everything* I would think.
He's became more dark when the Doctor and Rose left him, I think. He couldn't deal with being in love with someone and.. losing them. Also what we saw in Small Worlds, but Jack/Doctor is better, hehe.
Oh, and Captain Jack Harkness is not his real name *nods* We may never know what his name really is.. Becoming so much like the Doctor *squeeeeee*
Unless he was making this up to make a connection with real!Jack, he lost a close childhood friend during a battle. That kind of made me think maybe this friend is from the 51st Century -- so Jack's own time -- and Jack persuaded said friend to join the Time Agency so they could have adventures together or something.
Also, we know he's had experience in torture, and he's not afraid to use it if he thinks it'll get him somewhere. In Countrycide he tells the man in the cellar that he learnt torture a long time ago, and he's clearly not all that bothered about demonstrating his techniques. That's a side of Jack we never really saw in Doctor Who, though that might be because torture is not exactly appropriate for a family show. (Although, if I remember rightly, wasn't the Doctor tortured to some degree in an episode?)

He is unique, and special and... Just Jack *g*
