Can I just say that I adore Lo? He's so wonderfully young, and vulnerable, and yet utterly made of steel at the same time. He's very obviously the boy who will become the man, Jack, and yet he's different, too. It's apparent that it's the years of schooling to come, and possibly his partnering with John, that teaches him how to laugh again, because right now he's very bristly and hurt.

Yep, that's it exactly -- damaged wee Lo has a road to take before he can become Jack Harkness. I don't think he really would come into his own until the Time Agency, and I think John will probably have something to do with that. If I were to work with Lo as a part of canon I'd probably say Lo's the only one who can control John because of the particular way he's broken, but also because John has a weird paternal feeling for him, since he'd be the one to draw him out of his shell.

Which makes Jack growing up and John just growing older all the more poignant...
