I, too, loved the taxi-hailing . It made me melty inside.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

He's very practical. It's good, they need a practical type.

Dana and I have been slain by sweaty, blues-singing Gareth David-Lloyd. It would be amusing, but for the fact that we are dead and stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Sweaty, blues-singing Gareth David-Lloyd is just stunning. And adorable. And hot. And stunning.
And boy doesn't give a half-bad performance. He's better than JM by far. His singing voice is so not what I expected from him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just watched Captain Jack Harkness, and I realise I really should have rewatched the past season before embarking on the next one. Something our Jack said in it though--he mentions being a prisoner of war. I wonder if the "Graham" mentioned in the first episode of the new season is the weaker best friend he watched die.
Oh, and I totally don't get his timeline. He'd already been to Earth and stolen Jack's identity by the time he meets the Doctor and becomes immortal. At which point he goes back to Earth (in the oughts?)--but when did he leave Earth the first time round?
What am I not getting?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
At which point he goes back to Earth (in the oughts?)
I thought that after he became immortal, he landed back in time to... errr... somewhere in the first half of the 20th century (maybe to when the Doctor picked him up -- WWII?), and he's been waiting to run into the doctor again ever since. I also thought that he was originally from the far future.

Jon's thoughts are my thoughts. i also think that thinking too much about time travel will make your head hurt and you probably don't need that, ita.

The timeline's established in "Utopia", Doctor Who season 3. After Rose makes him immortal, he's stranded on the space station in the year 200,000-something, and he uses his "vortex manipulator" (the thing on his wrist) to jump back to Earth. But it's imprecise, so he ended up in 1800-something. He's lived on Earth since then.

But isn't he already Captain Jack when he meets the Doctor?

Yes. So that's during WWII, when he's there as a con man, having taken the name of Captain Jack Harkness.
