Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I hope that more of the hub survived, but was buried from prying eyes by the explosion.

Jack seems to be the ultimate pragmatist. He'll do what's needs to be done, no matter how untasteful it might be. The girl he let the fairies have was already gone as far as being a normal kid. She gave herself to them.

The deal with the 456 was probably the only alternative to something worse. Plus, they promised not to come back, apparently. And I'll bet that Jack warned about that the first time. He was old Torchwood back then, and I don't think he liked the way they did things.

Completely unspoiled, just clinging to Jack's better nature.

And what Trudy said!

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

Jack became a different kind of dogooder after his last go round with the Doctor--up until then he'd been doing Torchwood in the Doctor's honour. I think then he started saving the world for the world's sake.

I'm guessing the child cleans the inside of the glass after every gooey eruption by the 456.

So, Ianto's gone, Tosh is gone, Owen's gone and the Hub is gone. Is Torchwood over?
