ZK I think it has to be over. I don't want to see any more--because they've soured me on Jack, and because there's no team left. Puts a different spin on John Barrowman's complaining the show was done wrong by the five hour miniseries. But that wasn't the real issue.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, I'm basing my use of the term wuss on the first 5 minutes of tonight's episode when he seems to have just given up and given in. My sense of Jack in previous incarnations is that he'd keep fighting, even when it didn't make sense to do so. I get that he has a lot the not caring about other people's interests but, his SO getting killed and his family being threatened would have brought out the 'fuck you!' in him.
I'm perfectly willing to accept that view as personal, wishful thinking.
He let's his grandson die? Huh.

No, he didn't let him die. He killed him. To save all the other kids. While perhaps the thing to do, not remotely heroic.

Oy. I see. Ick.
I can see how Barrowman would feel hard done by. It just gets worse and worse.
Though, I have to say, I liked Gwen's speech about why the Doctor doesn't always show up.
Ver apt for the moment.

Adorable that Jack is hitting the milkshakes. Explains where Zoe got it from.
