WW2 had 5 Jacks.
Torchwood Jack in the Cryo Vaults
Con man Jack
Torchwood Jack, waiting for the Doctor
Future Jack with Tosh
And the real Jack Harkness.
Nine: There she is.
Rose: She's an egg.
Nine: Regressed to her childhood.
Jack: She's an egg.
Nine: She can start again. Live her life from scratch. If we take her home and give her to a different family, and tell them to bring her up properly, she might be alright.
Jack: Or she might be worse.
Nine: That's her choice.
Rose: She's an egg.
Nine: She's an egg.
*EGG*
This is a relatively ethical way of dealing with a villain. Why isn’t it used more often?

@@terry9238 well because you see.... uh she's an egg
Honestly Jack's story is a classic Shakespearean tragedy, his immortality is not a gift, its a curse, everyone he gets close to dies or in the Doctor's case, regenerates. I would have liked to have seen the 11th and/or 12th Doctor interact with Captain Jack at some point but I'm guessing John Barrowman must have been busy filming other stuff during those years
John said he would love to return so we have just to wait for the writers
@@-LamiaSage- The only return we saw was after Capaldi's run
He was on the show arrow for a while which aired on the CW he played one of the main villains of the show
Matt Harvey he was great in that
I think I remember Moffat saying he was going to bring Jack back for demon's run, and he was gonna have his head chopped off, becoming the first step to the face of boe, but he was busy with Arrow at the time
Captain Jack is definitely BEYOND iconic and charismatic. One of the best.
He is my favorite second character in any tv show
Chica qué serie viste?
I love how they did him. I was raised in a gay friendly town. But the fact they don't rub it in our face makes it perfect. Not everyone rubs their sexuality in our face. But hes so fleshed out that it is just part of his greatness
I always felt that Captain Jack was like River Song if she was more of a side character. They were both extremely charismatic people with extremely long, complicated timelines presented non-linearly whose very essences were fundamentally altered by their interactions with the Doctor.
And both very sexy!!😏
@@jayfredrickson8632 "Hello, Sweetie"
@@greggi47 and the same to you!
@@jayfredrickson8632 I wish I could say it with the correct River Song inflections.
Can we imagine for a minute Jack hearing the TARDIS materialise above the base in 2005, knowing he can't interfere?
I would wait until 2005 Jack wanders off,
Wear the same clothes he was wearing and wander into the tardis and ask how often the tardis needs to come and refuel?
We don't need to it happens
Even though that be a meaningless question to ask since it’s a Time Machine….. it can materialize in Cardiff at any point in time after 1869.
It be better to ask what year will the TARDIS land on next time you need to refuel? Can you possibly pick 1 hour after we leave this time?
@@jimmy2k4o you can... You even can do it 1 minute after the last time... Even 1 second....
@@evesherlocked I wanna leave wiggle room and time to pack and probably try and have an torchwood orgy or something, since I’m jack.
I wish Jack would be brought back on a regular basis. He's such a wonderful character.
torchwood mannnnn. have you watched it? literally heartbreaking but it’s SOOO GOODDDD
@@Sophia-hc4th Love Torchwood, watched it over and over.
Isn’t the problem John Barowman himself? There’s been loads of allegations made about his behaviour on set and on location. Hopefully though some of this stuff gets resolved and this excellent character can return. I agree torcheood was very very good.
I'd rather they bring back torchwood. They ended it with so much potential.
@@mhoppy6639 I heard anything about his behavior being problematic. What happened? I'm very curious now.
The Face of Bo was suppose to be canon. Barrowman was supposed to appear in a Good Man Goes to War and was to lose his head to the headless monks. He would then live has a head only. The only reason this doesn't happen was because of scheduling conflicts. So I choice to see it as canon.
Really? whats the source for this? Would've loved to see Captain Jack interact with 11
@@yellowmovementsundays7229 i cant find the original interview now with steve moffat, only a bunch of retellings which i dont like. But steve moffat wad interviewed and said that he had penned for barrowman to return but that he couldnt due to filming torchwood.
@@rainbowrainbow4621 yeah season 12 as a lot to answer for. But wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.
@@chrisf6612 Thanks!
I heard it had been a joke
One of the very few things about Tennants Doctor that I didn't like or really understand was his abandonment of Jack. Like, he was brought back to life and left confused and in anguish. The excuse that he 'shouldn't exist' and 'it hurts just lookin' at you' aren't excuses for that terrible act. F'cking f'd up thing to do to a mate.
As much as I love Ten and David's portrayal, there were a few times he was ruthless or an asshole.
It was Nine who abandonned Jack back in Parting of the Ways.
That is out of character, especially since the Doctor always defined himself in opposition to the Time Lord establishment for their elitist/prejudiced behaviour over this kind of thing. It's very weird, therefore, to see him behave exactly like the other Time Lords would. But then even good people have prejudices.
you missed that according to Jack this would be the first time the doctor would see him since he left him behind ... BUT the doctor knows exactly who Jack is and what happened and why ... which means he checked into Jacks life and found he had to leave him behind because he looked and saw him in other times after he left him behind ... just like when reading rivers diary the doctor had to break her wrist to release the cuffs ... because the companion read it ... he had to avoid a tsunami
That's because the Doctor just wants To mate.
*[citation needed]
This is just a testimony to how good of an actor that John Barrowman really is.
Bloody Oath! He's brilliant
Any time I hear Jack's theme now I can't help but remember "here he comes in a bloody great tractor".
Omg me too 😂
Same
Not just me then I'm glad someone else knows about that.
I bet jack kept the fucking tractor lmao
Jack died a *lot* more than three times, during his stay in the Victoria age!
At least _fourteen_ times, he's told, before being shot by his _Torchwood_ recruiters.
I mentioned it in an earlier video, but *Russell just this month confirmed the Face of Boe to be Jack.*
It seems to me that Chris wants to explore the later years of Jack's life, and would obviously need Russell's permission and confirmation.
Deborah Shaw probably not, he did write Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Adrift, Fragments and Exit wounds which all had some interesting stuff with the Captain

@@nl8989 - just a tweet haha. Actually, it was a reply to a tweet. Pretty bland, but there you go.
Deborah Shaw he wouldn’t he worked on torhwood
Wasn't the line in the S3 episode "Last of The Timelords" enough?
He expressed concern for how he'd look in a million years or whatever and mentioned being a poster boy and said "the face of boe, they called me"
Thank you for this guys, I'd recommend the story of UNIT next.
The story of UNIT would be great
@@QueenStodge yeah, going through all the eras from Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart to Winifred Bambera to Kate Stewart
Would be interesting!
The best moments in my Doctor who history was realising Jack Harkness was the Face of Bo, I had my suspicions, as Jack was one of the only other immortal time travelling characters. 👍🏻
26:37 Yes, we know who she is.
one thing I love about Jack's past is it's never revealed what the creatures were that attacked the Boeshane Peninsula and I like that I love mysteries
How can you tell the complete story of 'Torchwood' without it's true beginning. The real story is that when they were planning the revival of Doctor Who, they didn't want to give it away so that came up with the title "Torchwood" which is an anagram of Doctor Who.
That’s not the in universe beginning though. That’s just a behind the scenes thing
I thought torchwood first came up in the Victoria times in tooth and claw??
@@krystaldowney8987 It did!
@@krystaldowney8987 The "Torchwood Estate" was where the Queen stayed. She called Torchwood so to honour everyone's sacrifice to save her life (and continue her existence as a Werewolf)
Holy fucking shit it is an anagram of Doctor Who
wtf xd
Omg this must if taken ages to research! Captain jack and Torchwood are my favourites ty for this amazing video :)
Mine too
Agreed. Third had to have been very time consuming. Thank you.
No mention that Ianto was also one of Jacks lovers? Darn lol
Have you seen the ianto shrine in Cardiff Bay it's amazing
@@johncamplin1159 i havent! Is there pictures online? Afraid Cardiff is quite the flight from where I am haha
@@userbunny14 Yes there are pictures all over the internet tho it is much better if u see it in person lol
He's his boyfriend, more than that of a lover
@Blind Bob dude, Im completely asexual myself, but in real life, people have lovers. Its a real thing. Get over it.
I love Captain Jack Harkness for being such a sex-positive character. So many recent tv characters are so awkward around sexual subjects, like sex cannot be just fun. But Captain J Harkness is just so wonderfully joyful!
I liked how doctor wouldnt even let him say hello 😂
Tosh's death breaks my heart every time.
people should just resolve the behind the camera beef with barrowman and keep bringing him back. maybe they could somehow find themselves at the end of the universe and bump into him floating in space, where the only thing he has left is his memory, and has been stuck out there, lost in his memories without even knowing how long it's been because time gave up on him as well. as tharries recently said, he was mishandled in revolution of the daleks, just a charicature of himself instead of having done something new so that we can catch up with him and learn some more about the huge gap between then and miracle day.
The behind the camera beef is he takes his dick out on set
He’s the face of boe. He’s dead.
Captain Jack is truly immortal. As long John Barrowman is still around.
With deep fake software this is no longer a requirement, if they can secure the rights to use his likeness in new productions from him or his estate 🤗
Real, it's not like the doctor who can change his face
If you doubt that Jack is the Face of Boe, just consider that, after Billions of years of life, all he needed was The Face. The body withered away, and was discarded. He became something beyond human, something brilliant, something beautiful. Something completely new. The Face of Boe.
This video was splendid. Captain Jack is by far my favorite companion. Much obliged.
Check out matthews dalek one best one yet! So glad your enjoying the videos 😄
Captain Jack is a MAAAAD KAAARRRNNNNT, love him, he steals every scene, and John Barrowman loves playing him too, so wanna see him return to Torchwood and Doctor Who.
Pleeeease do River and the church of the silence!!!
Yes! I can't remember how it came up, I think my university Who Society watchalongs, but I had completly forgotten that the church basically were around for the whole of the 11th Doctor's story.
I would actually like to see them come back, I feel like them being in series 6 and a few episodes I didn't like made it hard to like them later on. The silence are amazing as creatures. The headless monksI remember being a pretty big deal too. I love A Good Man Goes To War
@@Char10tti3 Steven Moffat is a person who used the time travel aspect of the show to its fullest extent. The episode where the Silence came up is the last time we see them.
The origins of the Silence are shown in the Time of the Doctor: they were originally some normal human church in the future ruled by Tasha Lem. Then the Doctor came to Trensalore, where the Time Lords were calling him through the crack, and declared he would stay there to protect the planet. Then Tasha Lem dedicated her church to the Silence, which meant that the Doctor would not tell his name to the Time Lords. During the centuries that followed, the Silence protected Trensalore together with the Doctor.
One of the church's branches, ruled by Madame Kovarian, decided it would be much more efficient to just find the Doctor in the past and kill him there. They started from blowing up his TARDIS... And the rest of the story you, as I believe, remember.
Jack is definitely the Face of boe that was the reveal at the end of the episode the writers even made a joke that Jack seems to still be able to age and he wondered what he might look like in a million years. it was clearly the writters intent that Jack and the Face were the same person, probably not since the beginning of the series but it does fit in very well with the first Season of New Who's habit of subtlety connecting the episodes together, and the 10th doctors era had the same production team and creative staff of the 9th doctors. so it makes sense as a planned 9th doctor season 2 reveal that got pushed back because they had to change doctors due to Christopher Eccleston's departure.
7:14 By pulling a small gun out of his... yeah. Nice video 😆
A gun? That was a compact laser delux. Not a lame gun
This video is an amazing amalgamation of all of Jack's appearances in the Doctor Who universe, great job! The only thing I would add is his relationship with Ianto Jones, which had a significant impact on why he left Torchwood at the end of Series 3.
Absolutely!!! Ianto was important to Jack!
21:52 The Master wasn't Prime Minister for the past 18 months. He was Harold Saxon. He had only just become elected as Prime Minister.
He had been around definitely since the Racnoss Web Star at Christmas, I think they called him "Mr Saxon" but Harriet had shot down the sycorax ship the Christmas before.
He was definitely just elected because I remember Tish was doing his PR and party and he met the cabinet for the first time. He might have been involved politics / the army. I think his fake backstory was that he was in the army?
@@Char10tti3 my point is that he just wasn't prime minister for the past 18 months. I know he was on Earth as they established this during The last of the Timelords.
Yeah, he arrived on earth 18 months ago , as the reporter says, “Eighteen months ago, he became real. This is his first, honest to God appearance, just after the downfall of Harriet Jones.”
After Harriet shot down the sycorax, and the doctor caused the end of her government it is at that point he arrives launching the satellites and his campaign to eventually become prime minister just before they arrive back in the present day from the end of the universe
We know that he was there before March 2007, as that’s when Love & Monsters takes place, and we see the Abzorbaloff holding a newspaper which it’s headline is “Saxon leads polls with 64 per cent”.
@@mr.scarlo2234 Due to the 1 year skip in series 1 the timeline GOES MENTAL. Ok so hear me out.
Series 1 2005-2006. This we know 100%
Series 2 starts with the christmas invasion at the end of 2006 and therefore the rest of series 2 in 2007.
This makes the runaway bride take place at chrismas 2007. So either after this the doctor went back in time slightly when looking into hope hospital or the more logical option is that series 3 actually takes place in 2008 just before series 4. This can easily make logical sense. The Master arrives 18 months before 2008 in 2006/2007. This is fine, he can be winning polls way before the election maybe to be the leader of his party. (He still needs to maintain his public image so just randomly becoming the leader is too suspicious). This means that The Doctor and Martha instead of travelling 1 year into the future at the end of Blink instead travelled 1 year into the past at the start.
Plus as more proof I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Martha mentions the "christmas star" at some point which means if she knows about it and it happened in december 2007 she MUST be from 2008. Case closed.
That game show gave my son the feels when he was 10. My kid is gay, and it's all John Barrowman's fault. Smart kid.
Lmaoooo
yeah I can see it lol
This is such a fantastic video! It's been so long since I've watched Torchwood all the way through and I've not listened to the audios yet. I'd heard a pretty interesting chapter with Martha and Gwen trying to solve a murder though.
There's just too much Big Finish haha
There was one point you missed... (speculation) how Jack became just a head... during the pandorica story river goes n gets a vortex manipulator from Dorium Maldovar who said it came off the wrist of a handsome time agent. Maldovar was a known associate of the headless monks. The theory is that its Jack's virtex manipulator, taken from his body after the headless monks removed his head. Since their technology doesn't kill the person during the process of decapitation, jack just survived and continued to evolve as a disembodied head.
And if they decide to make him Deadpool or Wolverine, the brain being a regen center and the heart being a regen center, we would then get 2 Jacks at the same time, Face and body.
I looked months ago for something like this, I cant believe this is the only full video on here. Well done really enjoyed
I'd love to hear more about Novice Hame, the story Russel wrote for her is one of the best pieces of Who I think exists.
She has always been a favourite character of mine and I had recently found out about the New Earth audios she is in too
Fantastic video! This gave me a lot of information on the character that I didn't know before. I'd love to see a Story of River Song!
"THE FACE OF BOE, THEY CALL ME"
*called
When I saw that the first time, I was like "No friggin' way!"
@@CrappyBJJBlueBelt I shared the Doctor's reaction
Annoying Kid 47 I had to re watch what he said like three or four times! I just couldn’t believe it! “Spoilers”😆❤️
@@mv9370 I don't remember reacting when I watched it the first time (I was to young to probably remember who the face of boe is) but when I rewatched them I was just speechless!
Marvellous video! It really helped me, because I've always been confused about Jack. Thanks and well done. :)
Totally agree! Great job guys! :D
Can you do a complete timeline of Sarah Jane Smith from her perspective, please? Maybe one for K-9?
I feel that there's at least one more great Torchwood series left untold.But only if Russell Davies writes and directs it.
Series 5 and 6 were written and directed with RTD, they are amazing!
I have never seen it, it seems decent, if it has Cap Jack. Though the newer dr who has kinda stained my opinion of previous stuff. I can't deny a good time travel/traveler story.
I know an American version would most likely be terrible. What if it was "American" but completely done by the BBC so nothings different but the accents? Like a group of nerds hacked the line and found an ancient Alien device some where so they were able to stand toe to toe with the others? I wouldn't quite believe that if it were say people from the Congo or Somoa, but who knows? It all depends on the actors.
I have a theory that Captain Jack wasn’t actually immortal. Instead rose or the bad wolf made his death a fixed point in time billions of years in the future. As a result the universe wouldn’t let him die before that point, no matter how much his body aged, distorted or mutated. And his time was finally up at the end of the episode Gridlock, where he died for the last time.
I like ths theory I'm not sure exactly what year Parting of the Ways and Gridlock are set but agree they're probably close and if Parting of the Ways is before then the cat nurses were keeping him alive for that time and if it's after he sacrificed his remaining years to save everyone in Gridlock so it works either way!
Sarah Glover I don’t think the timeline really matters at the end of the day because we have to remember that Captain Jack is capable of time travel, without the Tardis, since he was a time agent. Because Captain Jack traveled back to the 1800’s after the parting of ways it could be possible that gridlock happens before or after parting of ways. He would just have to take precautions not to run into a younger version of himself, if parting of ways is before gridlock. To answer your question though gridlock is long after parting of ways because parting of ways takes place 100 years after the Long Game, which takes place 200,000 years in the future. Gridlock takes place on New Earth after the sun vaporizes the Earth near the end of its life. So we can conclude that Gridlock takes place at least 5 billion years into the future. Which is insane because that would mean Captain Jack lives for over 5 billion years, assuming he doesn’t time travel into the future, after the events of Torchwood. And we thought the Doctor was old, lol.
@@jacobharris5894 Yeah I get that but his vortex manipulator spends most of the time broken or locked by the Doctor so unless in future episodes the Doctor doesn't lock it then he would have it later on, also though if he was 100 odd years older then is he going to remember the exact day that he everywhere!?
The theory is really good, but what about the time he sent the Tardis, the Doctor and Martha 10 Trillion years into the future, wouldn't he have died then?
Oicjre_Gaming No because time is non linear in Doctor Who, meaning that you can travel to the future but still be apart of a fixed event in the past. Like how the 11th doctors death was fixed in more or less modern day in Utah but he was still able to go on futuristic adventures in the Tardis before that. It’s a little convoluted and when you think about too much a bit non sensical but the past, present and future of a time traveler isn’t necessarily the same as it is for everyone else. In other words, wibbly wobbly timey wimy stuff.
Absolutely brilliant video great work man I knew a lot about captain Jack anyway but wow very informative thank you
I wish that Jack's stint as a time agent was gone into more deeply. Another series waiting there!
I hope for the day Torchwood returns with Gwen, Reece (and the baby) along with Jack, to our TV screens, saving the world whether the world likes it or not!
I’d love if Torchwood followed on with the story continuing with Rex.
Thank you for clearing all this up for me. You get so entranced in the scheme of Doctor Who you find it hard to keep up with other time lines. Oh River Song would be great! I think I know most of her timeline however I could be wrong.😁
Glad you enjoyed it. If you go on to playlist of the story of series you will the river song video 😄 -L
The story of Sarah Jane or the Rani or the Cyber Wars
Jack was going to be the face of boe, in the Dr. Who episode, When a good man goes to war, Jack was written into the episode as the guy who loses his head to the headless monks, but John Barrowman was not available so was replaced. It was going to explain how he became the face of boe.
well that would kinda make sense. Something huge would still have to happen for it to become so...different in appearance? If he isn't the face of Boe, I would say that the Boe just used the name knowing he would be able to get ahold of the doctor when he needed to. Since only people from Boeshane would call it Boe. But who started calling the face the face of Boe, and not Boe? It doesn't talk with words, except once.
It also says something about telling the doctor on the third and final meeting. So unless hes trying to be aloof to prevent timy wimy stuff. Hes only met 3 times. Kinda weird that Jack Harkness future self would give birth to 7 children while being just a face.
It's all a good thing, too bad most people around me don't like doctor who. It was always one of those things on the far peripherals. I would hear or see an episode. And never be able to find it. Then see a clip at a friends and again lose it...till 2008. And even my step dads like, why haven't we heard of this?!?! we are nerds for sure.
@@ravinraven6913 It might be one of those things that are never explained, like a different Darrin on Bewitched or why Sargent Carter was still on Hogan's Heroes even though he was the prisoner who excaped on the first episode.
This was so interesting thank you!!
Thank you for this overview. I'm a faithful watcher from before the reboot. Unlike some I do not usually rewatch episodes preferring to watch new episodes with fading memories of the oldest ones. Then occasionally something will happen in a new episode that twangs a memory causing me to re-examine certain things or people. This is true of Captain Jack in the new season opener. Watching your review of Jack has made it clear to me that it has finally been long enough that I've forgotten enough of the 1st season of the reboot that I should go back and watch from there. Thanks!!!
No thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you that was very well done!
Great documentary. Thanks!
Jack hartness was the epitome of how to do an LGBT character.
Thanks a lot for the explanation of his life!! Something I've always wondered about most days since the first appearance :) this has actually made me think maybe I should binge watch the Torchwood series, I tried before but didn't work for me. and personally, I don't see why it's questionable about him being the face of Boe. But there is a slim chance in my eyes he isnt :(
Thorough, fascinating and very well researched, thank you!
I loved this thank you for making it
Thank you. It's hard for me to follow the story as it moves through so many formats, this was very helpful.
Amazing work here!
Dude this sounds like a true crime podcast and I’m here for it
Excellent video! thank you ! :D
my note: there is a reference line in Gridlock where "Legend says that, back in the old days, a woman stood in the exhaust fumes for 20 minutes at junction 47 and her head swelled to 50 feet. " ... perhaps something similar happened to capt jack and that's why his head is so big?
hahah actually sounds pretty plausible especially since Russell wrote it and he wouldn't have died from that.
Anyone: Exists
Jack: *Must Flirt*
I'm absolutely sure that Jack was already immortal before the episode you referred to at 8:18. I seem to recall him having at least one flashback episode he had about events long before he let the Doctor, in which he was already ageless and where he had died before then too.
The Parting of Ways is the episode that makes Jack immortal. Later, in Utopia, Ten confirms that Rose brought him back forever because she couldn’t control the power.
Unless I missed it, there was an audio book after the cyberwoman dealing with the fallout of killing lisa . Ianto pushes jack through a portal where he was tortured, and is forgiven. And it was ianto who came into Jack and kissed him, kick starting their romantic relationship
You got Revolution of the Daleks spot on, didn't you.
*I don't mean this sarcastically by the way! I loved the video and really enjoy the coverage of all media to tell the full stories!
Damn this was so well done
great vid! would be nice to see an update to include breaking the 13th Doctor out of prison! 😄
Loved this video, it's a wonder that Jack didn't recognise Cardiff being destroyed nearly in boom town to then find his younger self and 9 with rose , maybe he was busy with torchwood trying to help or doing something else
You forgot or purposefully dismissed the reference to a handsome time agent losing his hand and vortex manipulator after losing his HEAD to the headless monks as reference in river songs timeline with her having Jack's vortex at Amy ponds wedding
I love this video. Thanks
In the episode Bad Wolf, doesn't the Doctor say they had just left Raxacoricofallapatorius when they were taken by the transmat?
Sorta i mean he mentions that then goes on to say something about being chased back to the tardis in kyoto 12... thats when the beam happened
@@tomsimpson149 Kyoto, Japan. 1336.
Excellent review of the Timelines Of Jack. I just hope It will eventually Lead on to a new torchwood story from BBC Television Maybe continue a story with a Torchwood America and the other immortal Sinkers crossed.
That beautiful theme
I mean like ... I would like some story of Ianto ... And i mean like ... i feel strong emotions to this series ... Doctor who or Torchwood ... they make me think about world by the different way and i think series of Doctor who made me a better person
There's only 1 John Barrowman & only 1 Cpt. Jack Harkness! I really hope to see more of him with the new Doctor. Haven't seen any specials yet.
I think it's pretty obvious there were three at one point. Lol. I do love the character though. Best video of capt jack is the mega cut of every time he comes onto someone and the doctor cuts him off.
Jack was definitely a good captain stumbled afew times bit man it's so awesome definitely set in doctor who's time line
That was beautiful! I love it. I am so overly obsessed in this filled that need for a moment. I guess now I will have to go. Listen to another 1. One about someone else. But I'm glad I got to listen to the one about Captain Jack Harkness first wonderful.
I hope he comes back in the Holiday special!
That was great thanks 👍
I enjoyed that. Thanks
the kids they had play him and his brother were confusing cuz the younger brother looked more like jack and jack looked more like the actor who plays his later boyfriend/partner guy.

Jack was going to be in "A good man goes to war" to help The Doctor save Amy from Demons Run. Unfortunately John Barrowman was filming Miracle Day at that time. If he had been in the episode it would have had Jack be beheaded by The Headless Monks and his head not regenerating a body and thus him beginning his decent into the Face of Boe which was going to be confirmed in the episode.
That actually makes a lot of sense tbh
But why wouldn't he regenerate? His entire body was blown up yet he came back.
Oh I vaguely remember that! I didn't watch Miracle Day when it came out, I assumed it was much older than that, but it really doesn't feel like a decade since series 5 either
@@kdmedia1534 The heads stay alive, so really it might just stop the regenerating limbs because he's not technically dead. That would be even cooler if he's hanging out with Novice Hame because he's some super religious figure
dr103 it all of his body parts though. Initially they only found remains of his head, remains of his shoulder and an arm. Considering how minimal that is I don’t think there’s an appendage or organ limit as to how much he can regenerate. It may be that he just evolved into the face of boe form naturally
That torchwood group shot looks like the intro overlay for Ghost Adventures lol
Don't forget about the quote from the Matt Smith era saying that the face of Bo had children
What grates me is that "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is only meant to take place hours after the Doctor & Martha say goodbye to him in "Last of the Time Lords". In that year, he was wearing dirty clothes so when Jack returned to Torchwood in clean clothes and having a good shower, including a light blue shirt, however in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" he's wearing a navy shirt when he wouldn't need to clean & change his clothes again.
32:02 As always, I must ask why did the Doctor not care about Humanity becoming *immortal!*
I'd like to know what the current visiting hours of the Delirium Archive are...and if it has a little shop.
Melody Pond/River Song next?
RTD confirmed it is cannon Jack is the Face of Boe
Jack is a lot of things, but he's definitely not a cannon.
You should probably look up the words "canon" and "cannon" sometime.
@@a-blivvy-yus there's no need to be rude and pedantic for no reason. you knew what they meant.
@@p0lyxena or alternatively, *you* could take me less seriously and get a lot less upset about things.
Jack is just brilliant although in end of days he forgot the hand when he left so I guess he just ran then quickly came back before actually leaving
Thank you ☺️
cheers for this, but my brain hurts lol, good job matey xx

That means a lot. I love Vsauce
@@thewhoaddicts here I am 11 months later thinking I havnt seen this. I saw it on the drop! lmao, still rewatching
Complete story with no mention of Ianto one of the most if not the most important people Jack ever knew
I've got a Torchwood and Jack themed question/ theory! I recently rewatched Boom Town just after finishing Torchwood so wondered if Jack had when he'd been waiting the 100 years had forgotten that he was with the Doctor that time and tried to talk to him then what would have happened? Or was that Jack even there as he hadn't yet been made immortal and did Torchwood exist as they hadn't yet met the werewolf!? Any ideas?
Jack was supposed to appear in A Good Man Goes To War and help the Eleventh Doctor and Rory rescue Amy and baby Melody/River. But obviously John Barrowman was too busy filming Torchwood Miracle Day.
The episode would’ve also been a Face Of Boe origin story because Jack would’ve been beheaded by the Headless Monks instead of Dorium, and had his head put in a jar. lol
Sorta of what i remember rtd said john could go away and do the a good man goes to war episode but something happened between john and Moffat
Might be a big "event" episode, but the Big Bang / resetting the universe could be a great episode.
I think that's how they ended up closing the Rift in Cardiff and not needing to go back as well as making people not remember the Daleks earlier on
