I saw the Empty Child months ago, but starting with and for Captain Jack, it turns out, doesn't give him enough of a context. When I was watching it first I didn't understand the kind of crazed optimism Dr. Who is about, which Jack kind of acts as a foil to. It's also interesting to look at Torchwood with Dr. Who as context - Dr. Who is meant to be all-ages, sure, but it's still really nonviolent, even for an all-ages show.

In short, and analysis aside, yes, I love them rather a lot.

I am aware of the Coming of the Martha, yes. I am hoping she is cool, but I'm not sure how cut out I am for the acceptance of inevitable change that seems to come with Dr. Who. I mean, I could hardly handle it when Buffy graduated high school.
