Woe to the fucking wicked.
quester and I are one.
You know, I actually think I can buy their handwave for leaving Jack. I feel dirty for buying into handwave. I trust we're not done with that, what with part 2.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm a little confused about how the Torchwood timeline and Dr. Who coincide.
So after the end of Season One, Jack travels back in time to the late 19th Century, then pretty much just hangs out until the the 21st Century. Which means he actually has to spend a couple years avoiding himself during the '40s. *Which isn't so hard. I mean, after all, he knows where he's been. (But then again, it's Jack, and everyone has an idea where he's been.)
So obviously, he hooked up with Torchwood along the way, and this episode picks up immediately at the end of Torchwood Season One, when Jack comes back from the dead, we hear the Tardis in the distance, and Jack goes running.
Edited for minor Torchwood spoilers.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Victor, Torchwood is only now showing in the US. perhaps whitefont for the season finale info? Or is it too vague?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'd say it's not particularly any spoilier than knowing he shows up on Who post S1.

BBCA is showing the beginning of the Tennant doctorship, so the last episode was the one where they meet Queen Victoria and she decides to establish Torchwood. It's like living in the Doctor's universe where the timelines keep crossing!
Now I'm wondering if Jack wasn't part of Torchwood from it's inception. but if he's been on Earth for 100 years, why is his wardrobe exactly the same?
and it was good to find out who's hand that was.

I knew that the hand was the Doctor's, right away. I made the connection to the Christmas Invasion.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My brother tried to call me earlier this evening. I called him back and he said it had been to tell me he saw Michael Rosenbaum at the library. He had to get off the phone to go play an RPG with his friends.
quester, he's like the Doctor!
DCJ, and me. It was the one of many "oh, Jack" moments for me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I wish now that I hadn't been spoiled for the Master's return, because if I'd seen Derek Jacobi with that identical pocketwatch without prior knowledge I'd have assumed that he was a future incarnation of the Doctor. The reveal would have been much more shocking and fun.
Why would the TARDIS reject Jack when it and Rose made him what he is in the first place?
Nine would have been flirting right back.
The Doctor did seem to be flirting a bit with Jack later on, even if it was through safety glass. Though I wouldn't mind a return to their Season 1 (27?) closeness.
