TW: Waffle about Jack and Ianto...

godofwine (and my last ramble) but it was too long for a comment. If I'm waffling at that length about characters and motivation, I should probably go ahead and post it in my own damn journal.
First thought was about Jack in DW vs Jack in TW, about the different interpretations of Jack a fan would get depending on which show they saw first. Because I saw DW first, I think I'll always think of Jack as someone capable of conning those around him, someone capable of... not always connecting with those around him. It's not that he's not a decent guy, it's not that he doesn't want to be a hero (he does), but... I get the impression that until meeting the Doctor, he would have happily travelled through time and not worried about disasters around him.
