- A video about Captain Jack's many deaths and resurrections.
I saw the Kronos Quartet perform this piece live (awesome!) and it struck me as the perfect background for a vid I'd been thinking of doing on Capt. Jack's many deaths and resurrections. This is long (the piece is over 8 mins), but I've included all of the deaths/resurrections I could remember from both Doctor Who (seasons 1-4) and Torchwood (seasons 1 & 2), beginning with his "birth" as an immortal to his "ultimate" death. I know I missed a few, all of which have been kindly pointed out by this writing (March 2011). I had originally planned to re-do it after Children of Earth, but I just can't bear to re-watch CoE as many times as editing would require. Sorry.
Music: Death Is the Road to Awe by Clint Mansell from the soundtrack to The Fountain

"Shoot for the eyes it's a weak spot "
Decides to hip fire oncoming daleks
Bad ass>smart
Finn Simcox He knew it was all morale raising BS
Finn Simcox The bullets never actually hit them, it doesn't matter where you shoot
Zac Roebuck pretty sure the eye thing is true as u see one get shot in the eye and go out of control but everywhere else that's true
Finn Simcox Mmmm, like 40 years of completely making sense and continuity
didnt river specifically say she would shoot down a daleks eye stalk when its defenses were down in "big bang"?
Rory: I’ve died so many times
Jack: hold my beer
They should meet
Jack: Hold my tea
XD
Rotsku agreed
Burak Arda Aksoy
More like..
Hold my tea.... bag.
I’M I RIGHT?!
"guys im tired i need some sleep" - Jack
*puts gun to head and pulls trigger*
Axel did that happen?
@@bookwermofthefandoms it didn't but its a fans representation of when Jack wants sleep
Axel Jack doesn’t really sleep. So he claims anyways
This is copied from South Park
I understood that reference!
I love how the tardis don't give a darn about jacks life as he clings on but does all it can to extend its field for Clara
clara was a perfectly normal human at that point so the tardis was trying to protect her as the doctor's friend but jack was an anomaly and the tardis was literally just trying to get rid of him
the tardis HATES jack and would try to destroy him if the doctor let it
@@carenkoh that actually makes me think, the tardis (through rose) actually made Jack to be immoral. So it might think as Jack as an extension of itself as they share the same type of energy where as any one of Claras forms was just a normal human.
But again the tardis could've just been jealous of Jack and didn't want him to hookup with the doctor 😂
Jacks a fixed point in time should something the tardis dislikes. Like when it ran to the end of the universe to escape him after he jumped onto it.
TARDIS doesn't like Jack cuz he's a fact now. Facts aren't supposed to exist, so she's kinda..... Scared of what Jack is, being the reason he's immortal, (technicaly, at least,) so she tries to get rid of him
I noticed that my mum was standing behind me the entire time I was watching and she said "why are you watching a guy die over and over and how"
Really?
Torchwood actually
@@tottodaud9108 Both.
Ultra Bobacus very true
"And the best part is he isn't dead for long, I get to kill him again!"
Ethan Sawyer the master
billy JOHN SIMMS BACK YAY!!!!
Georage Batman //The world of Harry Potter he's in the vault
disagree, i think it's missy. whatever it is in there is clearly very cheeky which is far more fitting of missy than it is john simm's portrayal of the master
benthetoastman John Simms if definitely coming back. I really do prefer him; He was an enemy, ruthless, unlike missy. Completly different characters.
The doctor: I’ve lived thousands of years and died over a dozen times.
Rory: hold my beer
Jack: hold my giant face
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS
I mean The Doctor has underwent more than both of them in Heaven Sent alone so
where's clara in all of this?
@@sh1vamdeshpande Oh yeah! Why is Clara always forgotten? lol
i love watching him die, its almost comical. and i love it when he comes back and everyone is all shocked and the doctors like, yep thats totally normal
oh my god they killed jack
crazy crab 😀nice reference
uncle jerry what like 50 times
You bastards!!
It's Rose's fault. He dies and keeps on dying.
Daniel Williamson We know. Every whovain knows.
How to make money:
#1: Become an bounty hounter.
#2: Get someone to put a bounty on Cpt. Jack.
#3: Ask Jack if you can kill him repeatedly and then repeat.
Addition to 3: Promise to split the bounty with him.
#4 drop a bomb on them before they realize they've been had?
#5: Go on a date with Captain Jack
#6: Sleep with Captain Jack
#6 marry him
#7 have his kids
#8 'kill him' and take the money
#9 make him forgive you
#10 do it all again
80 percent of Jack's life is dying
Dedee Videos the irony
Slightly paradoxical.
So Original so true but more like 99%
10 percent is his love life
more like 50/50 yo know what Jack's like!
Hes like the doctor who version of deadpool
That is...incredibly accurate.
Chasing stardust Thank you
best analogy ever
Or the Winchester bothers
Not really, deadpool can’t die. Jack kinda can, he just comes back to life, all the time
Damnit! Jack was my favourite character and they killed him off!
oh no hes back sry
no wait he died again shit
Oh look at that he’s back again
Kaleb Sambrook they didn’t kill him off, John Barrowman just got busy with filming Arrow, and BBC hasn’t asked him to return to the show.
Well...
@@Andy-xi4pu They meant literally "kill him off" because of the video
I love how no one really questions how and seems to forget after each episode that he died and came back to life
Rory: i’ve died so may times
Jack: hold my beer
Twelfth doctor: hold my life
Thirteenth doctor: Hold my Timeless child
Diavolo: "Hold my arrow."
wait this is the wrong fandom.
I think Its valid to say he’s died way more than Rory
Yep
ORxven and that's saying something!
Yes
Touchwood is really bloody compared to Doctor Who..
Have you seen Class yet
BubbyBubblegum Vids What's Class?
It's the newer Doctor Who spinoff that aired last year
I ain't seeing no entire planets solar systems or galaxies exploding on Torchwood.
The whole point of towrchwood is to be an adult spin off

Not funny, stop these crappy comments
@@wll4100 that was a month ago when the meme wasn't dead yet, but sorry anyway 😅
It was posted 2008 tho
2020
I’m getting it in 2020. Love the recommendation settings
The fact he died in the end, but still technically never died was a mindfuck. He died after over 3000 years of living, but he lived on in different timelines and different multiverses. This is a kid fucked with my head, and it still does.
5 billion years
How is that trench coat in one piece?
The coats a fixed point in time
Its Magic
the coat is immortal?
Now you may be wondering, where did i get the cup of tea. Answer: I'm the doctor
Well, it did have to be replaced once or twice lol
The look on Jack's face when he tells him, "I can't die. Ever." Gets me every single time
I think he's died more times than Sam and Dean...
lol
Defo did
I call a death war between Jack and Rory.
It would wage for millions of years...
magoberry jack would win of intelligence
Rory is a dumbass, but still he'd be stupid. xD.
Rory died like 6-7 times. Jack died over 1000 times and he's more skilled than Rory
And the twelfth doctor
you'd think a former leader of the league of assassins would die a little less. lmao
Iblis Shadow it's the Lazarus pit man
How many Pits does the League have left after this, because no Pit can be used twice.
Iblis Shadow I was wondering were I saw him
@@Jarock316 Well he does have an entire map of them which Nyssa, Thea and Roy go to find.
Ranaghast Gaming he’s a great actor ngl
Someone: about to kill him. Jack: well here we go again
"Ah shit, here we go again" 😂
That isn't all his deaths. I mean he died over 1,000 times but nothing shows them all xD
Well... the title says jacks MANY deaths not ALL deaths. XD
+pinxku!! "the many" means "all"...
Akaakaaka ak no it doesnt
"many of the" and "the many" are not the same
Aislinn Scott 1,410 deaths I counted
The Only Time Jack dies is when he dies of old age as the "Face Of Boe or Bo"
Not really. It was implied but not outright confirmed.
Daniel Bykov as soon as the conditions are right for him, he'll probably return.
_ Faustus: Oh, get real. It's pretty directly stated. The only way it could have been more heavily implied is if he turned to the camera and literally stated it.
Mate it was a joke.
"Not really. It was implied but not outright confirmed"
i dont get the joke, where is the punchline?
captain jack is the best chatacter ever
I love the gesture Jack makes whenever he's about to get shot. Just shrugs at them, so cool..
Please could someone reupload this but with the actual audio
Can we just thank Russell T. Davies for that Face of Boe line. I mean it will ALWAYS give me the heebie jeebies.
"like being hauled over broken glass" for some reason that really hits.
In it too cruel that Captain lived so long that transformed into the Face of Boe...billions his body was his own prison.
I know Jack's supposed to turn into the giant face of Bo which lives for billions of years so any finally gets his final rest. He definitely earned it though it's in the statement about him being the last of his kind is also somewhat. Drew is literally the first of his kind since that time energy that brought him back to live kind of turned him into something else entirely
wow, that was incredible. poor Jack, all he's been through.
oh, it was in the description, hehe. The Fountain it is. Love that film
no way, that's the tune from the film "The Fountain"! beautiful soundtrack it is!! XD
+cenobitex9 yeah, fantastic movie, certainly one of my favourites! :D and yeah, I saw that after I commented XD XD
Why are the upset? He always comes back
Because they don't know that. In most case those around him when he died never saw him come back before. The scene were he got shot by Owen I think Gwen was the only one who knew and the scene were he got killed in from of Rose or Martha they didn't know either. His second death (in this video) was the pilot episode of Torchwood and only him knew at that point he would come back.
MastarNinja you can England we'll can you
The Anarchist what?
Because it still hurts him
Ah, The Face of Boe...I never thought the day would come where Jack wouldn't be drop dead gorgeous.
geet your saying that you wouldnt wanna fuck the face of boe... whats wrong with you
Oh no jacks dead
Again
Isn't he just the doctor who version of black butler
3:09 Looks like Jacks Regenerating
I mean, that's basically the Time Vortex being sucked out, so it's not far off from the truth.
The Time Vortex is what allows Jack to keep coming back, the same stuff that allows Time Lords to regenerate.
Deaths in Doctor who: 7
Deaths in Torchwood: 11
Total: 18
Who’s here after Fugitive of the Jodoon
Not to mention the times he is "killed" in COE, or sealed in concrete! Good video and musical tract. Thanks heaps.
And now he’s living in the jungle eating rice and beans whilst Harry dreams of a Jam swissroll
This wasnt the video we wanted but it was the video we needed
Technically the face of boe has still not officially been confirmed as being jack, and I find it difficult to believe that he could be anyway, especially since it is supposed to be impossible for jack to die
lachlan Bastin
he mentioned he was still aging
Wrong, it's not impossible for him to die but to stay dead.. Since captain Jack was ageing maybe he truly was the face of Boe and he died by age. What it wouldn't make sense is to stay dead. Jack was a fix point in time , this is why the time vortex kept bringing him back again n again so by this aspect he can't stay dead no matter what..
Shiro maybe he was meant to die as the face of boe and time wouldn’t let him die until that happened
Its taken Jack days to come back from really bad deaths like being blown apart or the end of season 1. So given that boe did a similar thing to season 1 finale in gridlock it could be the face of boe just came back after the doctor left
Great! Thanks so much for the additions. I've been rewatching season 2 and caught some more, but this is great to have them all together. I appreciate your taking the time to post them!
Jack vs. Rory vs. Kenny vs. Daniel Jackson. Bring it!
I love THE FOUNTAIN and I love this music. I recognized it instantly. Awesome video.
5:28. Hit the bench Jack, I guess?
this man needs his own tv show
😅
They should call it something cool like "torchwood"
Much like Marvin the Android Jack is probably many times older than the universe itself.
A lot of work went into this and it's a great video, nice job. And the music is perfect. Beautiful.
im only here because jack is back in season 12
7:46 Jack is buried for ~1900 years, so assuming a person takes ~7 minutes to suffocate, he died about 142 million times
Why was Jack not with Ashildr at the end of the Universe?
VoltrixHD because he died as the face of boe
I think the real answer is just plot. John Barrowman either wasn't asked to play Jack or didn't want to, which I don't think is the case since John has always said that he would reprise the role.
The face of bow died before the end of the universe, remember? He died in New New York.
VoltrixHD the face of be died
Face of boe he died. BW gave him limited immortality.
So glad you liked it! And it looks like I'm going to have lots of new material to add from Children of Earth!
Next up the many deaths of Rory Williams 😂
Thank you, thank you! [bowing humbly]. So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
theres another on in torchwood because he dies briefly after ianto dies in children of earth
xxncisaddictxx DID IT NOT PLAY THAT I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET I DIDN'T WANNA GET TRIGGERED BY THAT SCENE AND CRY MY HEART OUT AGAIN
Thanks for the addition! I'm keeping a list and will take another crack at the video after I rewatch the rest of season 2 (or maybe I'll wait until season 3 and see what's new to add).
How the hell did he get to be a big giant face?
there's a theory that the headless monks from "a good man goes to war" during the era of the 11th doctor decapitated him.
007 Southpaw he was memt to be in the episode but was working on something else at the time
I still think Jack is just messing with them.Not only is he from the 51st century, but also a bloody TIME TRAVELLER. He very likely knows who the face of boe is and was just messing with his friends.
Also, considering he heals back everytime, I doubt he'd do things like scaring or losing his freaking body.
Maybe its like Wolverine stuff? Its just loses power to bring him back with time and maaany deaths
Considering it is sort of the energy of the time vortex bringing him back every time, it is doubtful it would ever run out.
Also Wolverine stuff? His healing factor actually gets weaker when not using it for a long time.....
And in Logan, it was the fault of his adamantium bones gradually poisoning his body more and more.
I just realised why Jack almost always looks so scared for a few moments, even after he's got enough oxygen in his system
He's seen the afterlife, and it scared the living shit out of him
I wonder what would happen if you shoved Jack into an active volcano?
Excellent video. That was a great trip down Dr Who and Torchwood memory lane.
My question is how did jack turn into the face of Bo?
Because when ever he died he always looked the same so how?
Alien Blast He said to the Doctor "What about ageing? The odd grey hair".... Maybe after 5 billion years that's what happens
Well he lost his body when he was beheaded by the headless monks (which is where River Song got her vortex manipulator), so I guess his head just compensated for the lack of weight and grew a ton bigger.
Daniel Rhodes whaaaat when did his head get cut off??
Yeah, when was this?
He gets old too, just slower than most people.
I love you for making this excellent video.
It's kinda sad that he spent so long sesrching for Gray/ Grey(?), then he comes back and tries to kill Jack and all his friends
Oh I LOVE that you put him as the Face of Boe in at the end :-) That makes me so happy.
Funny how he also died by stray javelin :P
This was amazing,
I sat and watched it all, I never do that!!
The music went perfectly too!
I went to give it five stars but my mouse buggered up and started sticking so I think it gave your four, sorry :(
Amazing, video really! x
Why the super-duper-ultra-widescreen?
to prevent copyright i assume
Torille
Great vid. Brilliant choice of music!
I loved when owen shot him bc Ianto looked so concerned, like Ianto do you even understand??
that scene was before most of the team knew that Jack couldn't die. I believe only Gwen had witnessed him come back by that point, when Suzie killed him.
Local Finley Ianto didn’t know he would come back at that point
There are so many immortals running’s around that they need to start a support group.
Although someone would have to keep reminding Me.
Death is just Wibbly Wobbly, timey winey to the doctor and jack Also to the American F.B.I agent who was in Miracle Day! So thay and get to play in the New Doctor Who with Jodie Whittaker or all NEW Torchwood.
And the BBC should make a Dr Who/Torchwood world like Marvel etc.
Let's us all get behind it and Do it hope you like and spread the Idea.
The world isn’t ready for when Jack officially becomes “The Face Of Boe” in the series proper…
Poor old Jack. Always being killed.
The irony here hits me really hard, you put the 'death is the road to awe ' and you show an immortal. I guess Jack will never find his road to awe..
John Barrowman is so handsome!
Yes, it was! Good memory! I had to find a UA-cam vid to check it out. It's actually part of the soundtrack from The Fountain.
Hector Barbossa wil bring him back
Thanks! I was planning to update it or make another with S3 clips, but it's going to be a long while before I can bear to watch it again ;-(.
Is torchwood an actual show or is it from doctor who
spinoff
It's a spinoff, like MingJian said, set in the same world as Doctor Who, but dealing more with the street level stuff. Like if The Doctor is The Avengers, defending the Earth from alien invasions, Torchwood are The Defenders, more grounded in reality, more like the FBI or Cops dealing with Aliens causing smaller problems on earth (that giant monster was a one off and more like a mini movie than an episode)
TheEpicCyborg - The Sims Freeplay yes it is an actual show
Clint mansell is one of my faves I used his work for one of my Smallville vids, gotta love jack and dr who and torchwood-great job!
whatsvthe face thing at the end. dont judge me im new to doctor who
will jennings just keep watching DW you will find out around Martha's season
will jennings are you still watching Doctor who?
will jennings he's in series one
Yeah, good point! Revive, suffocate, revive, suffocate... Although some folks have speculated that he was putting himself into a state of suspended animation when he closed his eyes.
But he also died in old America, where the three families took his blood.
Miracle day actually messed up the show. His blood is not the key to his immortal otherwise his daughter would have inherited his immortality. It was explained by the Doctor in Utopia that Jack is a fixed point in time like a picture and thus cannot change.
abby Sand shouldn't that mean he shouldn't really get hurt or if he did it would be instantly fixed not take time like it does
@Tangerine
Not really he still human, immortal but still human. When he has a bruise such as from a punch they take their time to heal unless he just come back from death but they do go back to how he looked when Rose brought him back.
The craziest one I've heard of is he was cremated and then mixed into concrete then sealed underground and he still got out lol
Should do an updated version
Oh i know, S3 was so dark, i cried all the way through the last episode. Please up date with S3 clips whenever your ready though, as its all part of Jacks incredible story.
Wait.
MALCOM ???? OF GREEN ARROW ?
YESSSS HE’S BACK!
ya know how he comes back to life, what is u cut him up into tiny pieces then put every piece in a different state, it's sounds weird and gruesome and terrible but just think about it
He was exploded from the inside. One part of him regenerated slowly and painfully.
And yet despite his exploding and coming back he supposedly ends up as some kind of weird head thing
Banana Split well evolution takes place over the course of millions of years and Jack probably needed more storage space for his memories
“Rory Williams, the man who dies and dies again” captain jack: “am I a joke to you?”
What I wanna know is if Jack is infact The Face of Bo?!?!?! Because a freind mentioned it to me the other day and your end clip is confusing me lol... Could someone please tell me? XxX
Rosie Robinson He is.
Well, it's speculated that it is, but it isn't officially confirmed... Although how the face of boe died if he really is jack doesn't really make sense...
Well he does keep aging, at one point somethings got to give, Well at least youd hope so, otherwise he would basically be a skeleton on the floor being forced to die of old age and then relive his death over and over untill the end of the universe
Jack calls himself the Face of Boe at the end of the Master's double bill in Martha's season. It's officially confirmed.
@@shadowd63 no it's not. Russell T Davies after this episode said that the moment it'll became very true or very false it will ruin the joke..
This music matched -perfectly- to the video and its theme, nothing could outdo it.
If your gunna play music at lead put subtitles in there
@ReskellLaifGreyl Thanks much! I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, it did take a while and then I had that song stuck in my head for a LONG time afterwards!
