This was my introduction to John Barrowman, you may know him as Merlyn, but to me he'll always be Captain Jack Harkness.

2024-07-14 23:07:31 +0000 UTCYou may already know this, but in case you don't, John Barrowman, who played Merlin in Arrow and Captain Jack in this episode, is actually Scottish, but moved to America at a young age, and because he was made fun of for his accent, lost it and now has a natural American accent. Which has led to him often playing American characters on British television, among many other things in his long and varied career. I definitely have things to say about this episode, but I'd rather wait until after the second part, so I can speak more freely about it.

I don't know... weird.. wonky... I'm sure there's a better way of describing it. It'll come to me eventually.... 🤔 Who knows.

2024-07-12 17:08:52 +0000 UTCOn May 21st 2005 The 9th episode of Doctor Who’s first series aired and I was out on the piss. Here’s what I know about the episode, In Russell T Davies' initial pitch, Captain Jack was originally called 'Captain Jax', an interstellar alien soldier who befriends the Doctor but intimidates Rose. He was tracking an escaped child-creature, while posing as an English officer. The name Jax was eventually dropped, as was Jack's original characterisation, instead being a human conman from the 51st century. Steven Moffat suggested making Jack a human from the future rather than an alien, to avoid having too many extraterrestrials present in 1941 London. His relationship with Rose was made more flirtatious, helping to establish RTD's vision of the character as pansexual. Chula ships are named after Chula, an Indian/Bangladeshi fusion restaurant in Hammersmith, London where the writers celebrated and discussed their briefs on the scripts they were to write for the season after being commissioned by RTD. Also in early drafts the infected humans were given more elaborate powers, including the ability to levitate and generate waves of force. Dr. Constantine was originally called Dr. Summers, and it was he who brought our Doctor to the hospital after meeting at the club. The street urchins were originally protected by a woman named Miss Timberlake and a man called Mr McTavish. I did not care for this episode when it aired and my feelings haven’t changed I’m sorry if you like it (for the Whovians) I can’t put my finger on why i dislike it, there’s just a lot going on and I’m not sure all of it mesh with the 1940’s WW1 setting, Shan how do you feel about the episode?
