That's a very interesting observation, and it makes SENSE which is a balm to my poor little traumatized psyche.
In watching COE and reading/watching interviews with RTD, my armchair psychologist impression is that he doesn't like himself or homosexuals (his own orientation notwithstanding). Now you've got me wondering what his relationship with his partner is like. (Aaaaannnnndddd...that would be in a completely academic, non-squicky way because otherwise, just, ew. Do NOT want visuals of Rusty with *anybody*.)
the protests of a man who has been defending this decision for a while now.
That's my impression, too. His protests have felt a bit tantrummy-child to me.
BECAUSE JACK IS NOT COMING BACK. Jack will exit the narrative in Who, and John's not telling us this because he's still contractually obligated to toe a party line.
This wouldn't surprise me at all, especially in light of John's comment in a recent interview (paraphrased) that he would be happy if Jack were the only part he could play for the next ten years. That comment caught my attention when I read it because it didn't quite sound like happy, normal, "I'm a well-rounded entertainer" John.
