Yep; you see, this is exactly why I've always been very happy to let everyone in the fandom make their own interpretation of what's going on in Jantoland, and why I get more than a little irritated with the folks who INSIST their opinion is "right." There is no "right," because there is no answer. Previously, I would have said that only because it was his show, RTD could definitively say something one way or the other, and I'd have believed him. But now, with his departure, there is no authority. Moffat can assert himself by insisting on a show bible and a multi-season arc, but as of the moment, there is no fact, only interpretation.
And yes, they have written themselves into a corner with Jack, but judging from every other episode of Who and TW, no one's concerned with logic anyway. So just pick a starting point, for gods sake, and let him grow.
Basically, they need to stop being a bunch of pussies about everything. Don't make a popular show, make a good fucking show, and commit to your POV.
