History WMG / TorchwoodMiracleDay

Jack's [[spoiler:immortality]] isn't some mere alteration of his biology; as mentioned above, a literal God from the Machine [[spoiler:made him living a fact of nature.]] And seen above, the Blessing can't cancel that. Instead, Rex obtained [[spoiler:the initial HealingFactor.]] Sure, he'll [[spoiler:come back like Jack]], but the wire-crossing can't bring [[spoiler:Rex]] back from absolutely nothing. [[FromASingleCell maybe a few cells]], but that's it at best. And nobody's saying that it gave him [[spoiler:very very slow aging either.]] Basically, all the Blessing could do was give [[spoiler:Rex]] the closest thing to Jack's immortality it could muster.

Jack Harkness didn't become immortal because of some natural biological force or genetic engineering-a literal DeusExMachina brought him back and made his life a ''fact.'' Some piddly little [[FreudWasRight earthgina]] couldn't cancel the force of the Time Vortex. As Miracle Day pointed out, "life" is broad. The Miracle managed to cancel out the HealingFactor, though not the inability to die. In reality, Jack Harkness was afflicted by exactly the same condition as everybody else, [[AndIMustScream and had more than just death to worry about.]]

For a few reasons. First, JamesMarsters has said he'd like to return. Second, why not? And third, Jane was a common writer for Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer. Marsters played Spike on Buffy and is the actor who plays Hart, who, to be honest, is at least slightly inspired by Spike. Write who you know, right?

* The Cell from Torchwood season 2. Remember how they said Jack had been "factored into their plans"? Given the vague hints about playing the system in episode 6, an army that makes deep-cover agents as a standard procedure seem like the prime suspects for this. That or this is going to result in the creation of [[FactionParadox the enemy]].

[[WMG:The Three Families are related to [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E8HumanNature The Family.]]]]

* Jossed. They're seemingly human, and even if they weren't, they started on the other side of the world from where Son of Mine was left. (The others are in no position to make plans)

* The [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS2E1NewEarth Sisters of Plenitude]]: An order of nuns from ''Series/DoctorWho'' who used inexplicably living subjects to research treatments for deadly diseases.

* The Guardian of Life and Death.

[[WMG: The Blessing is the a manifestation of the Gold Guardian]]

* A long time partnership with Jack will give him all the relevant knowledge. He'll assume the name in honour of Jack.

*** Though that doesn't mean he ''can't'' be Q at the same time. The CIA head has a very similar personality; maybe Q decided to visit an alternate reality and [[BodySnatcher body snatch]] a similar person, both of which he did in StarTrekBorg.
*** [[spoiler: '''Q:''' [[StarTrekBorg Oh great, now I'M dead! Not exactly what I wanted.]]]]

* [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q]]. John de Lancie ''is'' going to guest star.

** Also, Rex is the smartass {{Lancer}}, Esther is the pretty {{smart girl}} and... no one's bringing coffee. [[spoiler: Granted, Angelo, ''did'' have a lot in common with Ianto, but he isn't a team member.]]
*** Angelo really didn't have that much in common with Ianto, though.

*** Great theory. The Blessing isn't actually Jack. The Blessing is The Blessing. But now it holds a version of Jack stretched from one side of the earth to the other (and in otherwise poor shape), and because you can't have two Jacks (or it would be *really* messy if he got blown to pieces and multiplied) the other one looses his immortality.

Episode 4 had the assassin referring to some forgotten involvement with the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monster of the Series]] of Jack's, so maybe this loose end will get tied up.

Just Miracle Day immortal instead think about it the keep in saying Jack is mortal but they can't really prove it for that they would have to kill him instead they've just shown he can't heal any more which is the same as what has happened to every one so instead of only him being turned mortal which means they would have had to target him it means whatever happened to everyone else is happening has happened to him as well.

** That's just assuming that the assassin or the people who hired him are positive of Jack's mortality.

[[WMG: Lois Habiba will join the team in season 4.]]

Makes perfect sense to me; possibly starting with a (mostly) new cast after [[spoiler: nearly everyone else is dead or trekking across the universe.]]

* Because it never ends for Captain Jack Harkness....

[[WMG: After [[TwentyFour CTU]] was disbanded by the government, the CIA hired on its human resources division.]]

[[WMG: Esther is currently {{FakingtheDead}}...]]
* Knowing that the [[{{BigBad}} Families are still in play.]] Jack after finding Jilly's body used a mixture of 51st science and modern techniques to temporary adjust Esther's form to look like Jilly's and Jilly's to look like hers. After all [[{{DeadpersonImpersonation}} who are you going to send]] to get all the technical abilities of your hidden enemies. One of the few people Jack trusts absolutely with the skills to back it up. That would explain why Jilly was unscratched, of course Jack couldn't tell Rex for her safety.]] Of course Rex may have other things [[{{Immortality}} on his mind at the moment..]]
