On edit - his resemblance to Tom Cruise is astounding - even his voice is similar.

8. I wasn't trying to equate him with TC
He's a helluva lot better actor IMHO, it's just that there is a startling resemblance between them, even the voice.

2. John Barrowman is talented....Tom Cruise is not.
That's how you can tell the difference.

3. I've never seen Torchwood
but I have seen that kissing scene, and it was beautifully done.

I love how the dancehall crowd doesn't even notice a giant rift in spacetime because they're too busy watching the gay guys kiss.

9. Yes, but that was back in what, the late 30s, early 40s or so?
When did the blitz happen again?

I mean, back then I think the rift in space/time would have been more common. At least in public.

15. Winter of 40-41 - London Blitz
That's why the British were really pushing us to get into WWII.

5. Watch him in series 1 of Doctor Who (2005)
He's a con man who puts personal pleasure and selfishness over everything else. (the creator and writer of the character putting in every stereotype imaginable.) In the finale of that season, "The Parting of the Ways", do we see Jack finally give a damn about something other than himself.

That's what I liked about his character development.

18. "Wish I'd never met you, Doctor, I was much better off as a coward" :)
Best way to do character development is to put a character in a bad position and see what they can do. :)

edit: If you every mention Capt Jack Harkness in the same breath as Tom Cruise again, I will travel through these internest tubes and beat you personally. :evilgrin:
