Sorry, which bit of the above is me "bursting an artery", exactly? I never claimed any interpretation was a MISinterpretation, I think any interpretation is as valid as the next, like I said in my righteous anger post, I think the Dude I was talking about had a valid point and valid reasons for seeing the relationship the way he sees it.
My beef is with the fact that the interpretation he has isn't hugely contradicted by canon, and that means that that view of Jack isn't contradicted by canon either. And I think that's a pretty dim view of the hero of the piece, which I think is a shame. I don't really see how explaining why I think that's a shame is preaching, seriously. Do tell.
