History WMG / Torchwood

** Jossed on the "excuse to find the Doctor" count, according to both ''Doctor Who'' and ''Torchwood'' itself. Jack wanted to go to 21st century Earth to reunite with the Doctor when he parks again at the Rift. Landing in 1869 (when he likely doesn't even know about the adventures with Gwyneth and Charles Dickens) makes absolutely no sense.

* It's the Seventh Doctor, who on the surface appears to be a strange little Scottish man, and he's manipulating everything that's happened in modern day earth - and possibly elsewhere, you never know with Seven; maybe he's orchestrating the entire Time War from behind a desk in Glasgow - in both the new series and Torchwood via a huge XanatosRoulette. He then wiped his memory before collecting the Master from Skaro so he would react naturally and avoid having his knowledge of his XanatosRoulette make him a SpannerInTheWorks.

[[WMG: The post of Prime Minister is like [[HarryPotter Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher]] or SpinalTap's drummer in the Whoniverse]]

Her best friend was played by Fred Savage.

I mean, just count all the times he should have died from ODing, and whi else would write an eight-minute song purely about how great they are in bed?

Torchwood Four is a catch all term for those not affiliated with the actual institute, but still dedicate their lives to protecting humans from supernatural threats. [[{{Primeval}} The ARC]], Wiki/SCPFoundation, Franchise/MenInBlack, [[{{Supernatural}} The Winchesters]], and even the Doctor himself are all classified as Torchwood Four agents.

When Jack is [[spoiler: [[BuriedAlive buried under Cardiff]]]] at the end of season 2, he is [[spoiler: dug out]] looking exactly the same, despite the fact that [[spoiler: he's been buried for 1900 years, give or take. This is because he's been dying and coming back to life so rapidly. His body doesn't have time to age, or grown wrinkles, and his hair folicles don't grow gray because they're being re-formed, what? 300, 400 times a day? On the other hand, Jack does visibly age in the 150 years he spends between getting left by [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] and the begining of ''Torchwood''. This is because he dies at a much slower rate: aproximately 10 deaths a year, giving his body time to age properly (if slowly), rather than the hundreds of thousands (or, at the very least, tens of thousands) of times he dies while under Cardiff.

They're using [[{{Buffy}} fancy gypsy tricks]] to make the children speak in unison and give a few people the appearance of death, but other than that they're useless. They haven't shown that they can do anything else. COBRA explained in "Day Four" that their satellites could not detect any ships in orbit - they're not beyond our technology, they just don't have any ships. They're taking over Earth with nothing but fear. Also links to the below theory.

Or he secretly works for UNIT, or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Counter-Intelligence_Service ICIS]]... or the [[{{Stargate}} SGC]]... or [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer the Watchers Council]].
