shadowscastHey, happy New Year everybody!
Since this is my first post in a while, I'll mention that I'm writing; I'm working on "That Good Night," though it's currently going slow like molasses.
But in other news, I just watched the entire first season of the new Doctor Who. A few spoilery impressions behind the cut, and also some questions for those of you who know more than I do!
Oh my god, Captain Jack. I mean, I love the Doctor and Rose, but from a slash perspective, Captain Jack is pretty damn exciting. An explicitly bisexual recurring character, oh my! He kissed Rose and he kissed the Doctor, and he went off to die, and I was sad. And then he lived again, but missed his ride. Oops!
So, here's my question. I've managed to get myself spoiled to the point of knowing that Captain Jack, rather than returning to the Tardis, somehow ends up in the spinoff series Torchwood (somewhere in 21st century Wales). But I think that only runs for a year? And meanwhile there's two seasons with Doctor Ten, who starts out with Rose but gets a new companion somewhere along the way, though I'm not sure if Rose disappears at that point or not. I'm not clear on whether Captain Jack returns to Doctor Who eventually. This, I would like to know.
Also, how's Torchwood? And is it available on DVD? In Canada?

:Sigh:
