Doctor Who/Torchwood Essays that I Want to Write:

[butterfly]

a. On the terrible leadership abilities of Captain Jack Harkness and how things are better all-around when he's a follower, not the leader.

b. On Doctor/Rose and the Doctor and the Master, and similarities in their emotional impact on the Doctor.

c. Daleks and the Doctor and all the comparisons between them existing in the series, both explicit and implied.

d. On the subject of the Lonely God and its narrative purpose.

e. A full-out exploration of all of the steps that went into making Doctor/Rose work as a romance (short answer: time, chemistry, writing).

f. Regarding the evolution of Rose's clothing choices and what they mean (this may or may not dip into other characters).

g. On how Gwen and Ianto don't hate each other even the slightest bit and why they don't.

h. On the differences in how the Doctor treats each of his companions and why he does (may bring in Old School comparisons).

100% agreed on this as well. I think it's been pretty much been established by now in canon. Certain segments of fandom, however, are another story. Ianto/Jack/Gwen are one of the few OT3 that could actually work in canon. Except for the fact that that would make Rhys sad, which would be bad. But, Ianto/Jack/Gwen/Rhys would not work. Sadly.
