I've been wondering if Martha's appearance on Torchwood doesn't explain her absence in the first six eps of DW.
It could go something like:
Martha visits Cardiff for some medical convention or what not, runs into Jack. He's in the middle of something bizarre, and then he and Team Torchwood get into something that results in Martha inexplicably disappearing - probably something to do with the rift. Jack doesn't have the time hopper thing anymore so either he or one of Martha's family call the Doctor. Someone says they want to go with the Doctor to find Martha with him. They then spend six eps getting into all manner of scrapes trying to find her - and then they do. But then Stuff Has Happened and by virtue of this, even more of that wacky angst and emoing can start churning out of everyone.
It could work, but the writing team for DW aren't that quick on the uptake and will probably pass it up for lots of ridiculous hi-jinks type eps with a new female companion. And then suddenly Martha will ring him up for some reason and then the second half of season with comprise of Martha tagging along and being jealous of the New One before deciding to leave again. *rolls eyes*
I'm not keen on Jack = Boe but I can live with it.
As for the Titanic seeing as the Cameron version had characters called Jack and Rose, I'm not sure that RTD won't go all mary sue on us again.
