A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I'm also wondering how far underground the Hub went and if it was built on the rift what the explosion might do - I mean could Grey and the aliens in storage have been blasted into another dimension?
That's probably more reasonable than the explainataion they'll come up with as soon as they need one in a story.
I've been wondering why the site didn't fill with water from the bay.
I've been thinking about Jack's actions in 1965 in light of him now knowing what happened to Grey.
I wonder if it's due to a certain deadness within him because of the whole immortal thing.
They certainly seem to be showing that he doesn't do great with watching the people he loves grow old and die again and again. I can see how that would make death seem so inevitable that it doesn't really matter when or how it comes.
I don't know though... the Doctor is still subjectively older than Jack is at this point, right? And while he's avoid-y over the pain of losing people, I don't get the sense that it's numbed him to the impact of death. It may be more something in Jack's own character than a natural consequence of immortality.
Want back story on Alice's mother.
I wonder if she tried to hide Alice from Jack - or if Jack disappeared on her.
It does make me worry for Ianto.
I wonder if she tried to hide Alice from Jack - or if Jack disappeared on her.
Alice talked about him watching Mom Mum grow older and being at her funeral, so there was at least some contact.
Yeah, but it seems like something significant happened in 1965 with their family. And I'm thinking it had something to do with Jack's role in giving up the 12 children, or was there a specific threat to child Alice as in the 456 wanted her?
It's all very creepifying.
How old do you think Alice is? How old was she in 1977 when her mother asked her to be put undercover. (Was that the British version of WitSec?)
She's old enough to look older than Jack -- I'm guestimating 40+
What years did they say that Alice's mother was in Torchwood? Like from 1967? I got the impression that Alice was in her early 40s and wasn't born yet in 1965. And I would suspect and this is just me perhaps romanticizing a bit in my projections, that perhaps it was his relationship with Alice's mother that made him a bit more alive. That started turning him toward making Torchwood better rather than the government tool it had been.

Depends if you include that time when Jack was buried for 2000 years.

Don't forget, Jack is Human. The Doctor is a Time Lord and probably better equipped to deal with these things.
But sure, their individual characters surely come into play.
