Bless you, THANK YOU for posting this. I've typed up 11 pages of thoughts on CoE and still couldn't get that nagging thing a proper name or feeling. THIS is it. The unequality in Day 1 had me looking at the screen like a puzzled puppy (head tilted and "WTF?" expression), then that unequality grew worse as the Days went on.
I even watched QAF but didn't link the partner aspects to those of TW and DW until this post. Thank you!!
My thoughts at the end of CoE were that Jack is so destroyed (I called it a character assassination), he'd rather just--stop for a thousand years. So I speculated that he was off to become the Face of Boe. AND, since Boe doesn't have a body, doesn't it makes sense that Jack would just...sit...and his body would atrophy and eventually shrivel away or something to that effect, leaving his memories inside his big head? It would take far more millennia than I care to think about for Jack's body to undergo that sort of change, but I do believe CoE was the beginning of his path to be the Face of Boe.
