bite him in the lovely arse OK, firstly, that sentence completely derailed my train of thoughts. *g*
I think what I meant was, I wasn't making a distinction between "having a life" and "helping out the world". Both are lives. It's like you telling me either you can stay where you are, 9-5 job/2.3kids/picket-fence or you can work for whatever world organisation, travel and save lives while you're at it. So I did not express myself properly.
But I do agree with what you just said. It did feel like they were having a bit too much fun. That is to say, they were probably a bit too wrapped up in each other to maybe go straight to the "doing good" stuff. And I'd say he got a pretty good punch with Rose being torn from him, although I doubt we'll see more breaking down than the emo tears. I think it's the nature of the character (or at the very least Ten) to internalise his real emotions a lot, which is why he's so mercurial (as in, internalise, internalise then go Vinny Jones on your ass). From that to say that he'll learn one day, hum, who (*snorts*) knows. Maybe that was the whole point of taking Rose away, and they'll have him change after that. Mind you, I do think that part of his hubris as you call it, is also a defence mechanism, something to hide behind.
OMG somebody in this building has a ringtone just like the one in 24's CTU, that was ood
(And I'm not doing you a whatever, I'm just having a Captain Jack drool fest ;-)
