8. Captain Jack Saves The Doctor (And Has A Scene With Thirteen)

Following on from the last point, it was Jack's warning which is setting the stage for a showdown in the finale. 'Beware the lone Cyberman', were his words to the companions as he issued a warning for the Doctor. He also said he would be there if the Doctor needed him.

So, he's definitely going to be needed for the finale. Wouldn't it be incredible to see thirteen cornered by a new cyber army, only for Jack to swoop in and get her out of there with his vortex manipulator?

As well as being incredible fan service, it would also give John Barrowman a chance to interact with the first female Doctor, something which has already been teased. Jack's role doesn't need to be a big one again (there's lots of other things that'll be happening), but it would be great to see him fulfill his promise.
