My first thought was that perhaps Jack is not entirely human?
I had forgotten that line (the "categories" one) but yes, I did smile at that one.
Jack certainly has charisma doesn't he? There is (and he probably gets the comment ad nauseam) a rogue-ish charm about Barrowman that just radiates very time he's on screen. The scene where they are eating Chinese food at the table was interesting. Even though Jack had very few lines, I found myself watching him rather than the character speaking. Even when he rebukes Gwen for assuming that they are doing nothing whilst eating lunch, he turns what could be a vicious put-down into a gentle re-direction of her energy.
I really see what you mean about the programme not always being 100% on the mark but Captain Jack Harkness is always memerizing!
