Is it just me, or am I the only one thinking that Jack had a crush on the Brigadier?

Er.

Okay, Jack is studying Mid-Earth history, specifically pre-contact species relations between Earth and the rest of the universe. I think the Brig is mentioned a bit.

And, of course, since Jack's all-time favorite period is WWII Britain, and, really, from the 51st century the jump from the 1940s to the 60s and 70s is not a terribly huge jump. And he's interested in the culture and then there's this really awesome guy who isn't exactly a bad person for Time Agent Jack to emulate.

Then, over a century on, Jack meets Brigadier Alister Lethbridge-Stewart. He's not quite the guy he remembers from his studies, but the pictures? Doesn't do the man justice at all.

It's more of a hero-worshipy crush, and Jack's sorta grown of it, but sometimes it just surges back up and... well.

It's not the reason why Jack's decent to UNIT - that's because he's not stupid and both groups are defending the Earth - but it is why one of UNIT's Emergency Contact numbers is a number that is occasionally picked up in the Isop Galaxy.

I've been pondering the possibility of Jack/Brig. Makes sense to me!
