I have a bad feeling about Ianto asking Jack about watching him grow old and die. I find it forboding!
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

“Not dead yet!”
So, we get another dark piece of Captain Jack's past.
Oy.

well, nice to know that I was right. I had hoped that Jack wasn't so directly involved, though. Did you notice the three soldiers in the background. I'll bet that they were the three names.
lesson: government is sketchy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone know how the ratings are doing in the US? Went over like gangbusters in the UK.

I was attempting to do a quick google on the number of children in the world. If, according to the 2006 CIA Factbook, 27% of the world's population in under 15 years of age, and the world population is 6.773 billion, then 27 % of that is 1.829 billion (1,828,710,000). Ten percent of that is 1.8 million children. Fuck.
Is my math right, mathy people?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Remember the first season episode where it turned out that Jack had given up children to the fairies before this and was prepared to do it again? I'm entirely believing he's the Do That If We Have To guy.

I need to watch the whole of Torchwood again. I appear to have forgotten most of it. Unlike Doctor Who - but then I've watched the last few seasons many times. (The Girl needed converting. Part of my long-term plan to make her a geek. It's slow progress.)
