Yeah, I think we'd all be better off without Moran's blog and the prepublicity stuff. But I agree with Coldwater1010 on this one.
You can say that's not cannon but if its done by those involved in the show itself or are authorized material, its not unrealistic for people to assume it is. I certainly did as opposed to fan fiction where I never assume it is.
I'm not hugely involved in other ffs but long ago, in a glaxy far, far away, when AARP wasn't sending me membership letters to join, the Star Wars books that came out right after the Return of the Jedi were meticulously plotted and cross-checked. Can't say I know (or care) after the prequel crap.
Personally, I don't think RTD or Moran or anyone had/has a coherent view of who any of the characters are. I know you disagree, but The Jack of TW S1 & s2 is NOT the same bastard!Jack of DW. and the Jack of CoE is someone altogether different again. And the Jack in the scene in the recent DW - sort of a blending of them all.
I think you are reading into the series what you want to see, just as the Janto and Gwack shippers have done.
