First, I love this! SO MUCH! *squish* I need to find a way to print it out and make it into a flip book. I swear, I need to draft you to illustrate every episode. It would help ease the pain of having no new Who until Christmas! *puppy eyes*
no way would he spend most of his time mooning over them while he was chained up a couple of rooms away from the Doctor, who's sick and being abused no less.
I don't think so, either. I think this was part of him letting the Doctor off the hook - of Jack making his graceful exit, dignity intact, and of not burdening the Doctor with his (Jack's) own... stuff. Tagalong took the You Don't Like Me Like That, So I'm Leaving tact, whereas Jack spared the Doctor much more by taking the I Have Important Stuff To Do Here Which Supercedes The Important Stuff I Would Like Us To Do, Innuendo Intended, And Hey I Didn't Even Think Much About You This Past Year, Too Busy Thinking Of My Team, Busy Busy That's Me Gotta Go See Ya. Or something. I didn't explain that well. It's him leaving *because* he loves the Doctor and wants to honor him and be like him and put the mission (protect the Earth) ahead of personal feelings. Whereas Tagalong left because she can't get his attention anyway.
