So not Jack, so wounded because they left him, and it hurt so much to watch him like that instead of the rakish, happy-go-lucky rogue wiht the heart of gold he'd been with the Doctor and Rose.
Oh, ouch. That makes it worse, because based on everything that I'd seen about the character so far, I'd been assuming that he comes from the same mentality that they do -- that it wouldn't really bother him in particular to be left behind, because he's just happy-go-lucky roaming through space and never really had that much attachment to them, either. And knowing that it's not like that, that he did feel abandoned and that it hurt him a lot -- okay, OW. It bothers me even more now. Although my husband pointed out, when I did some "GAH THEY LEFT JACK" flailing, that the Doctor didn't necessarily know he'd come back to life. Only Rose knew, and she was so out of it with the Heart of the Tardis that even she might not have remembered -- so it may not have been thoughtlessness so much as just assuming that he was dead. (Although, really, it would have been nice if they'd checked!)
I like to think that the show is going to address this, because at this point it feels like the Doctor and Rose are being held up on a pedastal as if they can't do any wrong, while in reality they're doing wrong everywhere they go -- I think I mainly just want the show to acknowledge that.
