Thank you. Glad someone agrees with me.

I would tend to agree. All of RTD's finales are only good
cinematically -- they're grand overtures that are designed to make you feel rather than think. To be fair, this is evident in TPOTW as well, just a bit less so.

Amen to that.

Not being based in the UK, I can't say for sure, but I didn't notice them on the BBC web site or anywhere like the two years before.

Do other people think he was in the background too much or was I just expecting to see alot more Jack after seeing more of him in Torchwood?

You're absolutely right -- he was extremely underused in all three episodes they had him back. What a waste. Jack's a great, fun character, and his potential was really wasted for what will probably be the last time he appears on Doctor Who.

Yeah, I thought this was pretty ridiculous too. What I said above is "You can take it seriously or you can take it as a joke -- the only thing is, as a joke it makes sense, but seriously, it doesn't."
I think that covers it pretty adequately.
