It's funny that I feel so bereft of something I haven't watched regularly in four years.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I move that the term "bisexual" be defined as officially too limiting for Captain Jack.
I would offer the alternatives "omni-sexual" or "yes, please"
Stargate finales (nearly) always end with a cliffhanger, so, if they didn't know beforehand that this was it, it's not surprising, at all, to me, that they have loose ends.

I really don't understand where this view comes from. I get that he hit on Rose and kissed the Doctor, but...I don't get why everyone thinks of Jack as this sex machine. I mean, he barely even came across as bisexual to me. There was just that one kiss, as far as I know.

You mean apart from talking about sleeping with his two would-be executioners (one of each sex)? And flirting with the soldier during the Lonley Child/Dr. Dances (can't remember which)?

I don't see him as a sex machine so much as sex positive, in a "So you've finally shaken off those pesky Puritanical roots, America! What will you do now?" "Oh, I think the question is what won't I do, Universe." kind of way.

Yeah, I must have missed all that.

Don't forget the flirting with that network programmer on Gamestation in "Bad Wolf." And basically every interview Russell Davies and John Barrowman have given that involved talking about the character.

Well, I don't really read the interviews, and I shouldn't have to in order to understand the character.
Which, I know, isn't always the case these days and is a problem that only affects certain fandoms that one may or may not be in. I guess I never saw the flirting as, I suppose, actual flirting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never read the interviews, and the man oozes sex to me. Sex in all directions.
What did you see the flirtation as PC?

Well, I don't remember it at all, so I must not have even noticed it. And if I did, I probably just saw it as non-serious joking.
