HIS DYING GIFT WAS TO GET JACK LAID
ULTIMATE BROS
i know i just reblogged this the other day, but i have to reblog again to add…
that’s not entirely it. this episode takes place after Ianto dies. the Doctor knows what Jack has been through and knows what he’s doing now: running away from what happened and trying to drink himself numb. so what the Doctor is trying to do is give Jack company and try to pull him out of that cycle, and maybe try to give him someone else to love. so it’s FAR more than just about getting Jack laid
Also, saluting and flirting were two things the Doctor was hard on Jack about, here’s he’s encouraging it.
And as stated above,he knows Jack’s been through, and it looks like Alonso might be fresh off the Titanic. He’s helping them both.
