Captain Jack versus Captain Jack

[Big D]

A different kind of "versus" thread for you.

NB: The links in this thread may lead to spoilers. Read with care.

Captain Jack Harkness, of <i>Doctor Who</i> and (less notably) <i>Torchwood</i> fame; and Captain Jack Sparrow, known of course for the <i>Pirates of the Caribbean</i> films. Two rather unique men, similar in some ways but radically different in others.

Like I say, this isn't a "versus" thread in the traditional sense. In a fight between these two, there's no question that Jack Harkness would come out on top, what with him being (SPOILER)virtually immortal, his access to both modern and futuristic weapons, and him not being an alcoholic lunatic like Sparrow.

So, the question is really who do you prefer, and why?

My allegiances are pretty clear at this stage, and it's Harkness all the way. A fascinating character with a mysterious and often twisted back-story; a charmer and an enigma, a warrior hero and a one-time crook. Keeps fine company (when he's with the Doctor and his companions) and has an awesome coat. The main reason I'm still watching Torchwood, which only recently began screening in my country.

How about you?

I know Baloki's favourite Captain Jack.

Baloki's a furry? [/sarcastic newsflash]

I've never seen Dr. Who, but I'd go with that Jack guy simply because I think the Caribbean Jack is just a big puss.

Captain Jack Harkness anyday
i mean, i hate both John Barrowman and Johnny Depp with a passion, but i would still love to see Harkness shoot Sparrow!
I love Torchwood as well, so that swings the decision xD

Ah but if Sparrow (SPOILER)has that coin thing then he too would be immortal. And a quote from Yu gi oh abridged-
"Im sure the cold hand of science will be able to defeat his magical powers"

I guess he's a raving alcaholic, but Harkness has vices too.

Harkness is kind of a prick imo. I prefer Sparrargh.
