6	* In "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E4Cyberwoman Cyberwoman]]", Jack held off Lisa by willingly getting electrocuted twice in a row. That was analogous to sitting in an electric chair, having it turned on full, surviving, then willingly going through it again. All that bought his team maybe four seconds.
7	** There's also had the insanely cool track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2LNlmwQikU]] that plays when you see her the first time. Start at 1:48.
8	*** How ''do'' you defeat a Cyberwoman? ''You cover her in barbecue sauce and have a pterodactyl attack her.''
9	* Jack driving through a freaking wall and shooting the bad guys in order save his team from cannibals during "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E6Countrycide Country-cide]]".
10	** And, to top it off, his theme is redone in a badass rendition, mixing this moment with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.
11	** Better still when you find out that music was actually ''inspired'' by this scene. It's based on the rhythm of the phrase "here he comes in a ruddy-great tractor!"
12	* In "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E7GreeksBearingGifts Greeks Bearing Gifts]]", meek little Tosh overhears the thoughts of a man plotting to kill his ex-wife and son, follows him to the woman's house where she finds him menacing them with a shotgun, and slams him over the head from behind with a golf club.
13	-->''Mary'': They should make an action figure of you.
14	* Owen as "King of the Weevils" in "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E11Combat Combat]]".
15	* "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E13EndOfDays End of Days]]"
16	** All of the Torchwood team mutiny against Jack and open the rift. Sure it summoned Abbadon but it was '''badass'''.
17	** '''WE'RE GETTING BACK WHAT WE LOVE!'''
18	** How does Jack BEATS Abaddon? The guy walks on his shadow, which eats life energy by the way, and LITERALLY OVER FEEDS HIM. He made a demon DIE OF BEING FED TOO MUCH.

21	[[folder: Season Two]]
22	* Judging by Jack's positioning in ''Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'', he must have shot the bullet ''over Ianto's left ear'', with Ianto in the way, and ''still'' got a direct target.
23	* Jack and John kissing in "[[Recap/TorchwoodS2E1KissKissBangBang Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]", the ensuing fight, the post-fight chat and the confrontation with the rest of Torchwood there. "You went to ''murder'' rehab?"
24	* Ianto tasering a guy in the forehead in "[[Recap/TorchwoodS2E5Meat Meat]]". "Pray they survive" indeed.
25	* "[[Recap/TorchwoodS2E6Reset Reset]]":
26	** Jack Harkness will flirt with ''literally anything and everything that moves'' - ''except'' Martha Jones. She survived the Doctor and, more importantly, a year on a post apocalyptic planet ruled by a deranged megalomaniac. She deserves ''better'' than his flirting - she deserves ''respect'', which she ''gets'' from him.
27	** Jack coldly executing Dr. Copley after he fatally shoots Owen.
28	* In "[[Recap/TorchwoodS2E7DeadManWalking Dead Man Walking]]", Owen finds himself, Tosh, and [[LittlestCancerPatient a kid named Jamie Berman]] in a hospital, locked in with the motherfreakin' Grim Reaper, who has killed twelve people and needs one more soul to cement its power and walk the earth forever. Suddenly he realizes how to beat it, and while Tosh is working out how to open the door, he ''sits Jamie down for a talk about how to beat cancer'', ending with:
29	-->'''Owen''': ... the ones who have the best chance are the ones who truly believe they can beat death. So watch and learn, Jamie Berman.
30	-->'''Jamie''': Watch what?
31	-->'''Owen''': Watch me. Beat. Death.
32	** And then he shoves Jamie and Tosh through the sliding glass door and ''takes down the Grim Reaper hand-to-hand'' because ''there is nothing it can do to him'', having died once already. Death is its one trick, and it doesn't work anymore.
33	** Pay attention in that scene. Death goes from triumphantly trying to claim it's final soul to trying to run in ''terror'' from the very thing that defeated it over 100 years ago. Owen's having none of that
34	* Owen gets another [=CMoA=] in "[[Recap/TorchwoodS2E8ADayInTheDeath A Day in the Death]]":
35	-->'''Security Guard:''' What are you?
36	-->'''Owen:''' I'm wrong.
37	-->'''Security Guard:''' ''(shaking)'' ''What'' are you!?
38	-->'''Owen:''' I'm broken. I'm Doctor Owen Harper, and I'm having one '''''hell''''' of a day.
39	** To elaborate; Owen gets caught by a security guard while walking up a flight of stairs. Noticing that the security guard is mildly freaked out by how Owen wasn't be picked up by the thermal scanners, Owen begins walking up the stairs, while explaining to the guard what happens when someone gets shot, explaining that it tears and twists through the flesh. After finishing the process of freaking out the guard using the above "I'm broken" speech, he proceeds to take the guards gun and knock him out with it.
40	** You kind of have to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMclceKPQNI see it for yourself.]]
41	* "[[Recap/TorchwoodS2E13ExitWounds Exit Wounds]]".
42	** Tosh and Ianto shooting the reaper-like figures, Gwen's rallying the troops speech, Ianto and Gwen nearly shooting John, John actually shooting Jack, Jack living through being buried alive for nearly [[strike:a]] ''two'' thousand years and ''forgiving'' the people who buried him, Tosh and Owen's deaths.
43	** To elaborate: Tosh gets shot in the chest. It is obvious that this is a fatal wound, and the BigBad Gray freakin' gloats over this fact. But she applies pressure and survives for something like twenty minutes while ''talking Owen through his own problems at the nuclear plant'', which lead to his own very visible oncoming death over which ''he'' freaks out, and then ''calming him down and talking him through his last minutes without ever letting on that anything is wrong on her end.'' Only after everyone else's situation is resolved does she, finally, ''allow'' herself to die.
