Hindrance
Most fans love Captain Jack when he appears in an episode of Doctor Who. In this article from RadioTimes, fans find out that Captain Jack is apart of the festive special for New Years’. The author raises a question fans want to know. He asks is Captain Jack returning as a companion? That is a good starting point, but he also asks another good question. Can the Doctor and Captain Jack be together all the time? Which raises another question will he be a hindrance as an every episode companion?
When fans first see him with the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, he only appears briefly but becomes a fan favorite. His character is good for Doctor Who, and he brings a different feel to the show. He helps the show become better, but will it pose a problem having him as a companion. Fans will love to see Captain Jack every week, and he could make the stories better. But there is a question to ask, can the two of them share the same stage? It is the Doctor’s show, and she should be number one. But will there be enough room for both personalities?
Hey, fans love Captain Jack, and yes, it seems like a good idea to have him a constant companion. But how will they write for both characters? If they are good writers, they may do it, but how good will the stories be? Some of the stories for the last two seasons are good, but some of them are not. Yes, there needs to be better writing, so this does pose a problem if Jack returns as a constant companion.
Yes, it is a good idea to bring Jack back as a constant companion, even though he has not met the new doctor. Will he be surprised when he sees her? Probably, because he does not know Time Lords can change gender. So, what does Chibnall do? To have Jack stay or only show up every once and awhile? Fans will like it either way, but some will love to see Jack every week.
