Returning to an aspect of the Nine and Jack dynamic I mentioned in my reply t [livejournal.com profile] trobadora above: while I won't anticipate later episodes, in which Jack clearly knows what the Doctor is, what do we think Jack thought of the Doctor in these two episodes? We've had a lot of discussion about what the Doctor thought of Jack, but all Jack knows about the Doctor is:

1: he thinks he's a Time Agent
2: he then thinks he's a 'freelance', whatever that means
3: he makes fun of the Doctor's inadequate sonic device, but then he's also seen the Doctor pick up psychic signals and insult their 'tiny human brains', and he's heard Rose comment that the Doctor insults other species while shaving (can't remember the specific line)
4: the Doctor clearly knows a lot about temporal theory and time-ships, given his scathing comments about how long it took Jack to adjust the settings on his ship so that he could rescue the two of them, and that he recognises it as a Chula ship and knows about the nanogenes
5: and then, of course, at the end of the episode he sees inside the TARDIS and realises that it's bigger on the inside.

So, at the end of the episode, what do we think Jack is thinking about the Doctor? And - other than having felt embarrassed/humbled over his mistake with the ambulance, and grateful for having his life saved - does he at this point even like the Doctor?
