Jack Harkness: In Britain, by this point they'd have had the entire [[Torchwood Series 1|first series of Torchwood]] finished, but we've only had two episodes here. So some of what is here presented as new material may have been old hat; I don't know. But his age... wow. I assumed he hadn't been back in the "present" long, but come to find he's lived on Earth for nearly 140 years? That's pretty crazy, but does give more of an explanation as to why he seems to fit in so well in modern Cardiff. It also makes him seem really Doctor-obsessed to have been waiting to meet him again for so long. They only knew each other for what, 5 episodes? I guess he wasn't planning on accidentally ending up in the 19th century, though, so it's not like he planned the waiting 140 years bit. | Jack Harkness: In Britain, by this point they'd have had the entire [[Torchwood Series 1|first series of Torchwood]] finished, but we've only had two episodes here.

The Master: I know this is an old character returned, but I'm not very familiar with him. I believe he was in the 1996 movie, but I recall jack-all about that. I thought part of that plot had to do with him running out of regenerations, though? Anyway, seeing his whimsy after regeneration makes for an interesting comparison to The Doctor, though. | The Master: I know this is an old character returned, but I'm not very familiar with him.

Anyway, seeing his whimsy after regeneration makes for an interesting comparison to The Doctor, though. When I first saw that he had the watch, I thought maybe it was The Doctor of the future, having become human again for whatever reason. It seems kind of goofy to go on about how it was THE SAME watch, when it turns out that all Time Lord-to-human converters use identical watches for storing identity? | ||
That crazy severed hand: I must've missed something, how did it end up there in the future? It didn't seem Jack was carrying something that bulky, and anyway I think it was around before they recovered the TARDIS. It seemed as though through amazing coincidence it had survived 100 trillion years and ended up in the same place? That would be far-fetched even for this program, though, so I must've missed something. | That crazy severed hand: I must've missed something, how did it end up there in the future?
