 I noticed that jack and jabe have quite a few similarities. Whether or not this is intentional or coincidental I don't know.

 The Daleks and the Master must be one and the same.
-Okay, back to reality, similarities mean nothing. They are just coincidence... most of the time.At least with this one.

 Okay, then how bout this. Point 10. They both first appeared in series 1. No need to make fun of me, just wanted to see what others thought of all these similarities. I understand that some characters may have some similarities but surely not 10. --[[User:Coop3|Coop3]] [[User talk:Coop3|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:25, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
+Wasn't making fun, I just don't understand your logic or the point you are trying to make.

+Magic Afro: Your point 3: Many characters (including the Doctor, whose sonic screwdriver does this) have devices with such scanning abilities. It's such a useful thing to be able to do that almost any society with (a) a sufficient level of technology & (b) contact with alien species (i.e., alien to them) would develop devices to do it. Think how many sf stories/series have something extremely like a tricorder! Not coincidence, just a very, very, very obvious idea.
+Your points 1 & 2 are no better. With names & numbers, if you look hard enough for coincidences you '''will''' find them. Always. Not those particular coincidences, maybe, but some coincidences, certainly. "Jabe" & "Rose" both have 4 letters but only 3 sounds. Both consist of consonent-vowel-consonent-vowel. Both end with a silent "e". Also, Jabe is a plant, Rose is named after a plant.
+A connection to Earth (point 6) is commonplace. Billions of people have that. Even among those who've met the Doctor, it's not exactly a rarity.
+As for your point 7: Watch ''Journey's End''. In that, Davros has no trouble showing a pretty long succession of people who "have died whilst helping the Doctor" -- & he missed out many more than he included.
+The most significant thing about your list is that it consists '''entirely''' of things that are true also of a large number of other characters in the show. Not one item is genuinely unusual, never mind close to being unique. It is, in fact, the kind of list that could be constructed for a vast number of pairs of characters who've encountered the Doctor. The items would differ but they'd be similar in nature & in number. --[[Special:Contributions/89.243.204.145|89.243.204.145]]<sup>[[User talk:89.243.204.145#top|talk to me]]</sup> 01:16, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
+If you want something to wrap your brain around, go watch episode 7 of Miracle Day ("Immortal Sins") then "Turn Left" from season 4 of the relaunched DW series.
