People are happy for Jack to be 'outside the box' as long as he then fits into the box they've made for him. I think there's also a Jack/=John Barrowman issue. The line between them is pretty thin, and I think people get...distracted (or confused, but that sounds ruder than I mean it).

I get that it's exciting, I really do. I just wish it didn't lead to so much character bashing and brain-twisting to get the canon to mean what you want it to mean. Canon's been pretty clear on Jack/Gwen (if my husband can spot it, anyone can spot it, quote: "That bit [the 'up against the warehouse' scene in 'Meat'] looked like it was going to fade into Swedish porn") and fine if you don't like that, but it's no good getting miffed with Gwen. Get miffed with the writers, sure. But it's not her fault! *sigh*

Okay, that comment ended in a different place than I was expecting, but never mind... My fingers are twitching to write fic on this...I just need to find somewhere to start. *searches for brain*
