Would love to see CPT. Jack back, shame (but understandable) that he never popped up during Matt's Smiths run, that would have been a brilliant dynamic.
I always imagined there would be some low-level flirting, with the 11th Doctor suddenly becoming very awkward and embarrassed when he realised Jack was seriously up for it.
Jack and river together would be the absolute dream pairing. I can just imagine the doctor's annoyance and Clara's bemusement as those two are basically having a flirt off throughout the episode.
Id love Davros to come back and come face to face with the Paradigm Daleks, just to see his reaction
That would have been really good, I suppose thats why we have the Paternoster gang? They had to fill a hole in the story left by Jack not being in it I suppose?
Its interesting you say he was sad that he couldnt play Jack at that time, could that mean he is open to playing Jack again some time?
Yes that would be fun!
Captain Jack? While I do think he could be something like a Brigadier for New Who, someone who shows up every few years, I'll be honest and say that I won't be too upset if we never see him again.
Doesn't JB mention it in almost every interview he does? ;-)
He does indeed!
IIRC JB stated that "when ever the Doctor needs Jack, Jack will be right there by his side" or something to that effect .
P.S wasn't Jack a pure Moffat creation and not created by RTD?. the Moff has faith in Harkness
Since he was a recurring character in multiple episodes RTD came up with the basic idea of Jack but as his first story was Moffats, it was him who developed the character and added details.
RTD - Captain Jax, Time Agent, Omnisexual.
Moffat - Missing 2 years of his memory.
Cool I would love to see Jack back then, come on Moff!
Oh and I see that Moffat did indeed write "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" so that really does fit that Jack is a Moffat creation!
It seems that Jack was such a success though that RTD brought him back for the final stories of both series 3 and 4.
I do think he was the best 'visiting' companion from series 1 much better than Micky or that other guy that was in 'Dalek' and 'The Long Game'.
i do like to think that out there in the whoniverse Jack has met 11 and 11 has told jack off for flirting with Clara or maybe 11 and river meet jack and 11 just looks at them both saying "its like your both looking in a mirror when you two look at one another"
lol good one.
Captain Jack - Less likely
Face of Boe - Possible
I know it's all just a matter of opinion, but I personally think Jack would be the most likely of the three to return in the near future, given that barrowman seems to be playing up for them to ask him to play jack again in almost every interview he's in, and the fact that Jack had been planned for a good man goes to war, showing that less than two series ago Moffat wanted him whereas there has been no inclination of any interest in the other two.
Think davros is one of those characters bound to pop up again, but maybe not for a few years. Face of boe seems least likely of those three to me.
I would agree with you but for one factor: he looks like an expensive prop and is probably still kicking around the storeroom. Though who knows? Maybe he isn't HD ready.
Barrowman said at a recent convention, that although he would love to play jack again, it would be difficult for him to do now, cos he's under contract to CW network for Arrow. Last year he could have done DW/TW as he wasn't under contract, but not now.
The problem with that is that the new paradigm Daleks were written to be even more pure than the ones Davros created in The Stolen Earth. The NPDs were created from genetic machines created for the Time War, so they are the originals in new shells. Davros started a whole new breed using cells from his own body.
Of course, it would be interesting war in that they're both 'pure', depending on how you measure 'pure'.
As for Davros I'd happily see him again. There was a lot of potential in his Series 4 appearance - some explored, most of it not. Julian Bleach was brilliant and I'd happily see him in the role again as well - but not yet. As much as I like recurring characters I don't want the show to begin feeling like a comic book where its villains are on an endless cycle of diminishing returns - I really don't want to see The Master again yet either. He's had two big stories in the past five series and that's enough for me when there is so much room for new creations. I'd say I'd be happy to see Davros again perhaps around the time of Series 10, and The Master some time after that - though I suspect I shan't get what I want regarding The Master.
Can you imagine the scenario if Chris David and Matt were to all return for a one off adventure and Jacks there with all 3 of the NU who docs plus Peter.
it would be quite funny to see 9,10,11 and 12 all tell Jack to stop flirting :P perhaps having river there as well and her and jack flirting wildly with one another and fighting over which doctor is sexiest. now that is something i think would be hilarious if written correctly
