I really want to play with it some more because the current team isn't the be-all and end-all for Jack, they're just a point on a continuum for him
Yes, please? Begs... What especially appeals to me about this story is the way Jack is involved with the lives of the others around him. I've long thought that that would be the optimum situation for him; to be part of an extended community/family that knew about his immortality. He's going to keep losing individuals he loves, and nothing can change that, but an evolving group could give him continuity and keep him connected. That's what struck me as the worst tragedy here - that he lost everyone at once.
