Um..Okay Torchwood Question

[kristen999]

The past two weekends I've left Dr. Who and Torchwood on in the background while I wrote. It makes me raise an eyebrow or two now and then. I should just go on wikipedia but if I ever decide to watch from the beginning without being spoiled, I don't want to.

But Jack just go stabbed in the chest by this..well um alien knife/sword thing and he just walked or more like ran away without batting an eye.

Can he not be hurt or something?

Huh..well I've seen two episodes of Dr. Who..one eppy that was pretty bad and one that was amusing but nothing that realy grabs me..so yeah..I know nothing about it...the show is quite confusing to me.

SO, Jack can't die....huh, kind of makes it anti-climatic I guess.

Still might poke around the series.

tourchwood is OK it's more "adult content" than Doctor who and a lot more open since Jack its bisexual and it's kind of funny since he is such a Flirt lol.
but I like the the doctor better, I don't LOVE it as much as my hubby who it's a die hard doctor who fan.
But I have seen some pretty good episodes, my fav is"the girl in the fireplace" It's funny en sad, wonderful

actually it's not that Jack cannot die - it is that he does not STAY dead

Rose's actions that brought him back to life had the unexpected side effect of making him a 'fixed point in time and space' according to the Doctor - Jack is "wrong" and shouldn't exist

my advice with Doctor Who is to start with the Christopher Eccelston Doctor's eps and move forward from that time - and you could always goto Wikipedia and do a bit of reading on it - there are some fairly thorough descriptions of the show there

as for Jack not being able to die making it anti-climatic - well the thing to keep him mind - he might come back to life - but he does suffer the death and generally it is not pleasant - plus if he's just injured he heals at the same rate as a normal human - only when he 'dies' does he have a miraculous healing/recovery - I'm figuring in the ep where the alien stabbed him - that Jack was basically hovering on death's doorstep while waiting for Gwen (don't get me started on her!) to finish disabling the alien tech - so when he pulled off the alien sword - he 'healed' instantly cause basically he should have been dead from the wound
