Just not Dr Who.
Jack's very different in Doctor Who. Still in character, but you can tell his crush is strong, because he presents a much subbier face. It's worth a try, if you have viewing time.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's on my netflix queue, but I never seem to make it there.
I will some day!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
You could skip right to "The Empty Child" (and part two, "The Doctor Dances")- it's a good stand-alone two-parter and the introduction to Captain Jack.

I think I am too much of a completist for that, but I will bear it in mind!

WALTER! Oh, my heart. Crazy, brilliant Walter. And his pudding pops. And his cow. And his LSD.
I really need to get around to watching Fringe. I've heard so much about Walter from my friends. Usually followed by, "He kinda reminds me of your dad".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Because it's true.
Walter is awesome.

Because books.
Walter is awesomecakes, Peter is gorgeous and brooding and angsty, and Olivia kicks ass. WATCH. IT. Oh, and Broyles also rules. SO much love for him, the taciturn softie.

OMG, I'm becoming the world's biggest John apologist.
Yikes.
Hey, shouldn't he get points for raising a Dean that could raise Sam so well? Sure, Dean came out very broken, but I think events broke Sam more than parenting (or lack thereof) broken Sam.

Oh, events totally broke Sam. But John helped break Dean. And I'm not sure that World's #1 Dad mugs are appropriate when you only truly fucked up half of your kids.
I get why he did what he did. I really do. But I don't think he was the best dad.
He wanted to avenge his wife, and you can (and I do) wave it as protecting the world, more than keep his kids safe.

He ... should. I mean, *I* give him points for a lot of things, but trying to look at it objectively, I don't think he was a great parent.
It does count for me that he loved them so much, though, and that he wanted things for them. It counts a lot that he saved Sam's trophy, and Dean's sawed-off.
But I also think people are more than how they're parented. Sam was never going to be the soldier Dean was, and Dean was, in my mind, wired that way -- partly because he just was, and partly because he watched his family fall apart, he experienced the one huge loss and was determined to hold onto to the rest of it however he could.
