Theory about Jack

[erilyn]

Ok, have just had a major brainwave about that spoiler about Jack from Last of the Timelords.

I've finally reconciled to myself the whole Jack = Face of Boe scene. While I've seen some wonderful discussion and stories about it being true, overall there's so many reasons why it's annoying, and contradicts previously established canon, both onscreen and offscreen (which always holds less weight, but still!). There's a list here, if you're curious.

So, if Jack isn't the Face of Boe, how to explain the end of LotTL? Some say it's a joke, a prank, Jack was nicknamed after the Face of Boe because his head was unusually large, but I've finally realised the truth...

Jack is the father of the Face of Boe!!!1!![1]

That's why the Face of Boe lives for billions of years, when the usual lifespan of his species is forty years, because his daddy is immortal. And it's Jack - he'd totally have sex with a giant head in a jar.

[1]or possibly the mother - we don't know who got Jack pregnant with, after all.

Am I onto something or what? Or has all the economics study (still gonna fail!) made me completely lose it?

Dude, there's a baby in the house, clearly he's hidden it ;)

I hope it turns up soon! Retrace your steps?

Literally two minutes after I posted that, I found the disc!! \o/

If he knew where his hands were, I'd almost believe that theory! ;-) Actually to be fair, he's found his hands. Doesn't have a clue he has feet though.

Pshaw, don't let the facts get in the way of a good explanation ;)

But yay for disc finding! \o/
