Okay, is it just me, or does anyone just think that Captain Jack is just a huge 'ol Mary Sue for Russell T. Davies?

I can just see him sitting in his office, deep in the basement of the BBC Wales division, and he's pitching it to the Beeb.

RTD: "Ohhh, and the Doctor will get a new companion, who's a charming time travelling rogue, you see, and he's very dashing and heroic and witty. Oh, and he's gay. Well, maybe bi. And he keeps a laser in his bum."

Poor Beeb Bastard:"Well, I suppose... A laser, you say?"

RTD: "And then he'll sacrifice his life to save The Doctor, very heroic, very Trojan, yes, all 'last man on the bridge', and then he'll be brought back to life, but he'll be immortal now! Can't be killed! And then he'll get his own spinoff, but he'll be all dark and broody, very sexy, and surrounded by misfits. It'll be like Fox Mulder and Angel had a love child, and he'll be pining for the Doctor, and all sacrificing and noble and tragic, oh so tragic."

PBB: "Well, I suppose. A spinoff? Have you discussed this with budgeting?"

RTD: "And he'll wear long coats, like a cape, because he's tortured in his soul, like Batman."
