on the other hand, Barrowman played Captain Jack with all the subtlety of the moral of Orphan 55.
So, in character then? Jack Harkness is the master of the single entendre.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am going to say no. In The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, he had an actual character to go along with the constant innuendo. (It was possible for him to have scenes such as when he's waiting for his ship to explode, or realising he was the cause of all this, where he doesn't look like he's fixing to hump the scenery.) This Captain Jack is more like late season Married with Children, when all the characters were stripped down to their (assumed) most crowd-pleasing trait, ramped up to eleven.
Weirdly, in Torchwood he wasn't even particularly entendre-riffic. Having to be leader really did a number on him.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I didn't notice if Supergirl has one, but I'm not sure about the new credit sequences for Flash and Legends.

And interesting, I see that Flash is taking the post-Crisis opportunity to return to Mirror Master.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dana, I guess the fact that there was another version of that character on Earth 2 whose powers worked this way had been mentioned previously.

I'm glad they're addressing the ramifications of the crisis, but it's one of those things where you can't look at it too closely, or the logic completely falls apart.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, I was just thinking that. I was completely expecting to hear that Cisco's brother was alive again. Ollie brought back most of the major deaths of his people, but couldn't help one of Barry's?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
And honestly, if Harry is really dead, I'm pissed.
But then I also don't understand how this jibes with what was at the end of crisis, which showed the heroes in different universes. Was that supposed to be where they were coming from? So now Doom Patrol and Titans and all the rest are part of Earth Prime?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm still confused about that too.
