Darling, as a multifandom girl of old and current, let me assure you that it's entirely possible to get intensely focused on other fandoms during hiatus time and get your fever back as the new season approaches. Or, if the show in question has a closed canon and there never will be a new season: it'll always come back to you. I have loved Babylon 5 ever since it first was broadcast, but it took me ten years to write fanfiction for it, and in between, I've loved a lot of other shows since. And then the DVDs came out, and I refocused and wrote B5 fic like a madwoman. And then came other shows, and I wrote other stuff, but I didn't stop loving B5, and occasionally I still write the odd story.
Season 1 of TW: the neat thing with rewatching is that you can go straight to the interesting eps, and fast forward through scenes, etc. (So no Cyberwoman for this viewer.) When I wrote Nowhere Man, I rewatched all the Owen-relevant stuff for research and came to the conclusion he had the best arc of s1 but alas that wasn't saying that much because the writing for the others was so uneven. (But even now that the writing is much, much better, Owen's s1 arc holds up very well, and leads straight to events in s2.) Also, online transcripts are v. useful - for example, "Ghost Machine" was the first TW episode which really got me interested in the new characters and I remembered it very well, but I hadn't remembered what Owen had said exactly until I looked it up, and then I thought: but this ties beautifully into everything!
I love, love, love the way you portrayed Owen and Jack throughout this, the push-and-pull way of it all
That's one of the things which fascinates me about their relationship; it's not there in the relationships they have with the others. (I mean, Gwen challenges Jack occasionally on ethical grounds, but that's more like Cameron and House, and it's not at the core of their relationship, but it really is for Owen and Jack.) And of course that Jack basically replays elements of his relationship with the Doctor with Owen, casting himself as the Doctor and Owen as Jack. In addition to casting Owen as his younger brother. Did they have a sibling vibe in the cell scene or what? (I was half expecting Jack to kiss Owen on the forehead, but the hair stroking and push did the same job...)
