A Whoniverse postulation

[annathepiper]

Captain Jack Harkness is very lucky that the Doctor’s last few regenerations have been younger and hotter–or else very unlucky, depending on your point of view, because he’d have had entirely different interactions with oh, say, the First Doctor.

Discuss!

Hmm. Don't know, considering his 'anything on two legs that breathes' policy otherwise...

I'm not sure Jack cares so much about young and hot (or male vs female, or human vs non-human). The question is whether previous Doctors would have been interested in Jack...

Very lucky, because it resulted in this happening at Comicon:

:D

Yeah, but I was more thinking from the reactions from the Doctor if Jack tried hitting on any of the older regenerations. The visual of William Hartnell smacking him upside the head with a cane is beautiful. ^_^

"Will you KINDLY control your hormones, young man? HRMM?" *WHAP*

[annathepiper]

Exactly! I'm totally laughing at the visual of One getting all grumpy at him and whapping him with a cane and telling him to mind his hormones. Especially if they were directed at oh, say, Susan.

solarbird totally wants to do First Doctor Smackdown on Jack fan art now. :D

[annathepiper]

Oh yes, saw that. Thing of BEAUTY. <3

I think the First Doctor would have disapproved of Jack very strongly. Jack would have fled to get away from the lectures XD

Whether Jack would have been better off or happier that way... very possibly.

John is SO GAY and it makes me SO HAPPY! WANT! :D

[annathepiper]

I can totally see him saying "Why, HELLO there" to Susan, and that's the ONLY thing he gets to say before One smacks him with the cane! ;)

[annathepiper]

Hee, I'm just charmed by his showmanship and comic timing. That mock-faint after the snog was hysterical. 'Cause dude, I'd TOTALLY be doing that after snogging David Tennant. <3

I think One would have been stern and disapproving on the surface, and completely the pervy old man when he thought no-one was looking. :)

Well, okay, maybe not. But you're giving me flashbacks to this very bad piece of fanfic I wrote a long time ago where all the Doctors got some...

Thank god I lost my copy of that. It is NOT something the world needs to see.

[annathepiper]

Bwahaha! Puts a whole new interpretation on that "HRMM?" thing he does. ;>
