My first reaction to the Rex thing was:
"
solitary_summer
has been right about everything from the beginning!!!"
You were the one who wrote about the parallel between Jack and Rex
.
In "The Bloodline" Rex
becomes
Jack.
As soon as Rex said, "You know I wish I’d never met you" - I had a feeling he was going to become immortal...partly because you'd already pointed out the parallels between them.
It's odd...I can't stand the idea of immortality, and,
like you
, I would find Jack's immortality unbearable if we didn't
have the knowledge that it NOT endless, that he will become the Face of Boe and die, finally, billions of years in the future
- so I should be upset about Rex's immortality. But...I don't know...it just felt right, somehow.
