Oh, I had a thought. How did the blowfish know who they were and what their issues were/are? I'm assuming that the blowfish arrived first and found the first bit of the puzzle, but was he working with John, or was John following him for the diamond?
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

I thought he was working with John. . . but also - Torchwood seems to have a higher profile - - otherwise how would that little old lady know who they were? So, if he'd been there longer - he would have heard of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My read was that things had gone to hell in a handbasket while Jack was away and that the old lady and the fugu guy's knowledge was symptomatic of that.
I also wondered if this Grah (I heard it as Graham, cut off) had anything to do with the best friend Jack watched killed when he was little. I mean, we know how little dead counts for.

I assumed that the blowfish was telepathic. Bu I think my mind tends to be forty per cent handwavium when watching tv lately...

ok, What are the Sarah Jane Adventures and who's seen them?

I've seen them, and they're awesome.
Or rather, Elisabeth Sladen is awesome, and she carries the whole show on her back, despite some rather large helpings of silliness.

Sarah Jane was one of the previous Doctor's companions. (See her in season 2 of Doctor Who.) (In case you didn't know who she was.) I got to see the pilot for the series and it was excellent. Sadly, I'm guessing that is all I will be seeing.
