because my own favorite TW-in-Who moment (my favorite scene in the Whoniverse, period) is the confrontation between Jack and the Doctor in Utopia.
Oh yes, that scene is brilliant.
Maybe their dilemmas are too similar. Time Lord gut reaction aside, IMO Ten projects a lot of his own issues and self-hatred on Jack without realising that Jack may share the burden of (quasi-)immortality, but doesn't share Ten's fundamental power/control issues. (It's the same with Harriet Jones in The Christmas Invasion, I think. He looks at her, and doesn't see a woman who went through a terrifying experience and made a maybe questionable, but certainly not indefensible decision based on that, but the potential for destruction and corruption on a much bigger scale that he saw in the Time Lords, and fights against in himself.)
