It's really an amazing episode - so much in it! And you're right, Annette Badland is a huge part of why it's so brilliant - she really sells the complex villain, and I'm so impressed that they managed to get this out of the cartoony Slitheen of all creatures!
I love that the Doctor flirts back - he's actively encouraging Jack at this point. Damn, I really wish there'd been a lot more episodes before Bad Wolf!
As for Mickey, I never liked him much, but this was the first time I really felt for him.
Do you have links to your fics, maybe? I think I read them at some point, but don't remember much. And yes, I really feel for Jack, having to watch that and not being able to do anything. *hugs him*
I must say that I'm glad he went back to the coat rather than the jacket.

Hahaha, yes, no doubt about that! :D
