Actually I think Jack is very clingy! Look at the way he was toward Owen, and the way he is in the stolen earth. I don't think that is inconsistant at all, but as I said, they just don't play that stuff out on screen. And yes i think they could a bit more.
I was out with some Welsh friends on Saturday and we were talking about TW. They are what I imagine most viewers to be, they quite enjoy it, but don't really take that much notice of any details at all. They only started watching to check out the locations, and enjoy enough to watch regularly. They were talking about how much they like Gwen, (they couldn't remember her name) that she is with a normal Welsh bloke, even though she wants to shag Capt Jack, then they said "and what's his name, Jack's boyfriend, the one with the suits?" We continued talking and they were laughing about weevils in Abergavveny as they both live that way and work in Cardiff. It occured to me though that they have pretty much judged the relationships the way they are intended, while only watching very superficially, not even remembering any names apart from Jack!!
I am very glad there was no bible, they have had the freedom to develop on screen chemistry, and let characters flourish. I have given up on US shows before, they can be so overwritten. And force actors with no chemistry at all into romantic pairings.
