A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Art Crawl!!!

Drat. I've just realized that Amazon isn't planning on shipping my dvds until a week after they come out. . .i.e, too late for me to have a season 1 marathon before the premiere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Takes the identity Capt. Jack Harkness. Meets the Doctor.

And that's during the war too, right?

Yes, during WW2. When we all meet Jack for the very first time in the episodes "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" (new series 1). We only find out at the end of S1 Torchwood that he'd stolen the real Captain Jack's name, but he was there for a bit before the Doctor and Rose showed up, plenty of time for him to get settled.

I assume that he met, what was her name - the old biddy from the fairy story - on his long trip through the 20th Century.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'd imagine so. I don't think he was in World War II much more than a month th first time around.

D'oh. You know, I TOTALLY hadn't put this together.

Yep. The more I think about it, the more it seems likely that, at the point in time of the Torchwood episode "Captain Jack Harkness," Jack's actually in the Untied Kingdom three times simultaneously, which may top the Doctor Who-verse continuity headache meter, along with "How many versions of The Doctor were on or invovled with the sinking of The Titanic?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jack's actually in the Untied Kingdom three times simultaneously

Well, Jack Alpha, from "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" arrives after Original Captain Jack Harkness has died, right? That's why he takes his name.

Jack Beta, who goes through the war the long way, would know to avoid Jack Alpha.

Then Jack Gamma is only there for a few hours, I think, but those few hours are before Jack Alpha's appearance.

This is fun, not in the least because I can toss around "alpha" and "beta".

This sounds like a very exciting alternate universe.
