Eh. Promotional articles are often full of inaccurate hyperbole.
Of course, another possibility is that after leaving Earth in "Day Five," Captain Jack was once again zapped back in time thousands of years into Earth's past and had to re-live it all over again. But I think the "they're exaggerating for the sake of promoting the show" is more probable.
Ooh, I like that. That could explain why Midshipman Frame is no longer with Jack.
Yes, I realize Frame could have just been a one-night stand that Jack ditched the morning after. But this helps provide the Fanboy need to explain everything with unnecessary over-complicated deatail. Everything.
Yeah I look at it like Frame was just a fling that the Doctor sent Jack's way knowing what he was going through and what had happened during COE. I don't think it was ever meant to be anything more than that. I'm guessing that Jack will be haunted by Ianto's death for quite some time now.
That's a very prejudiced term for a form of lovemaking. Why use it?
I think it's pretty clear from "Amy's Choice" that the Doctor considers his relationship with Elizabeth I to have been a mistake and unfair to her, and I think it's pretty clear that the intent of that scene is to show that the ability to form relationships is vital to learning to move on from traumatic events.
But, hey, since it's two men, obviously that means that their relationship is less legitimate than a heterosexual relationship to you.
I don't consider a one night stand to be a legitimate relationship no matter what combination of genders is involved.
But we don't know how long it lasted so why be fuss over it.

I'm not sure why it would be "illegitimate" -- it's two adults choosing to relate to each other in a certain way.
Exactly. And even if it were a "fling," "flings" can last longer than a single night, and can be more intimate than I think people tend to give them credit for. The thing that makes it a "fling" is that it's not grounded in romantic love, not that it lacks for emotional intimacy. That's why friends can have a fling without falling in love but still remain friends.
so, any way... i think this sounds interesting and cool.
As do I. It's going to be fascinating to see Jack and Gwen again, and Rhys who according to RTD won't be left out and is very important. This was stated a couple of weeks ago now.
Don't put prejudices in my mouth.

...matron
He was in Kyoto, Japan in 1336, according to Boom Town and could have been to other pre-19th C periods with the Doctor. Also, he was a time agent before meeting the Doctor; he probably didn't call himself Captain Jack but people may have matched up the evidence (especially if they started looking based on one of Jack's 'tall tales').
