Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh, I don't know about that--I got the impression that those kisses they exchanged in that season finale were the first ones.

I think I agree with Kathy on that. Nine was definitely cutting her away from the herd, not letting Jack or Micky get a leg over, but he was not about to, as Nine would see it, take sexual advantage of such a vulnerable human. I think maybe Ten not only "imprinted" on Rose, but a bit on Jack, such that he absorbed some of that sex-positive attitude, which not only tied him closer to Rose but let him be looser with the sexual responsibilities of his great and doomed race.

oops. I see we were talking about Nine. I guess everyone is on board with the Ten/Rose sex being implied, and probably Ten/Rose/Jack. (I don't mean fanfic, but pretty strongly implied in Canon, even though not Canon - really strong subtext.)

Jack Harkness's middle name is "really strong subtext."

I think his given name was "The Subtext is so Strong it has Gone Dom", which is why when he took Jack Harkness's identity, he kinda kept it. Easier to say, you know?

probably Ten/Rose/Jack.

When was there the possibility of that combo? Did I miss a later episode? Did you mean Nine/Rose/Jack? Mickey sure suspected something.

If she was getting it from those two, I don't think she would have wanted one for the road from Mickey. Not that he would necessarily think about that.

Love it!

Love it even more!

I kind of figured by the episode in Cardiff, with the alien mayor and so on, they were looking pretty sexually threesome-ish/relationshippy. All that finishing each others' sentences and lack of personal space.

The hug Nine and Jack gave each other when they realized Rose wasn't dead seemed indicative of more than "Our good mate isn't dead, yay!"

That was my take on it as well... I assumed they skipped right over platonic friendship shortly after Jack came onboard at the end of "The Doctor Dances."

I never really felt on a gut level that Rose and Ten were sexually involved in the same way, because all their little giggle fests read as pre-adolescently immature to me. Though I suppose that's just a combo of the actor chemistry and the more mature feel of the Doctor's feelings toward Madame de Pompadour in "The Girl in the Fireplace."

Yeah, Jack's not so much with the platonic if he sees a chance. "So many species, so little time."
