He even spent time with Jackie whilst Rose was with the Doctor, at one point dating her.

@@toast99bubbles why am i not surprised

@@toast99bubbles Is that where he got his name from? Jack short for Jackie Tyler

@@eastenders4k251 No, he got his name from an American soldier that had died, thinking it would be fine just to take the name and use it whilst he was staying in London during the war. When he met Rose and The Doctor, he had introduced himself to them using that name, and had grown to like it, so continued to use it. He later met that soldier who was called Jack Harkness during a rift issue that Torchwood Three was investigating. Previously, he had been known to go by the name Javic Thane, although it's unknown if this was also a fake name, or if this was his birthname.

@@toast99bubbles So what is his real name?

The "you are not alone" was a clue for Professor/Doctor Yana, which was actually The Master. Basically, he was saying The Doctor is not the only Time Lord.

@@keriwebb6988 can we have a head canon of it being both.

@@saorse5918 apologies, but I don't understand what you mean. The majority of the long explanation was right and true. I love Captain Jack Harkness, and I have a fantastic picture with John Barrowman.

@@keriwebb6988 oh I was more replying in regards to the comment you replied to. Head canon is that face of boa was both talking about Yana (canon) and how jack will be around for at least 5 billion years (head canon)

Too bad the Doctor kind of... Doesn't love him as much as the Captain does xD I mean, he kind of... Doesn't even want to let him inside the TARDIS

that came to my mind too, damn, At World's End was amazing

Thank you very much!!!

I tagged him in it on Twitter tho doubt he will see it. He is super busy.

@@MsWillowbayOrelse Exactly my idea. Maybe if enough of us tweet it to him he'll eventually see it.

Question: was'nt he supposed to come back but then some harrasment charges came up ?

@@MmeNova that’s not really what happened i don’t think. it was never confirmed with the show but there were some leaked images of him filming i believe. big finish was told to cancel an audio that was going to be released called absent friends though because of the sexual harassment and misconduct. along with the pre recorded time fracture stuff he filmed too that isn’t going to be used. i don’t know if i’m misremembering seeing the leaked images with all the other rumours but if it was real i’m not sure what they’ll do with it. maybe air the episode but put a message before it? or just refilm it? i don’t know.

Nothing fits with 13. I am going to memory whore that entire area, and I wish nothing but the absolute worst for chinballs.

Dr Who /Torchwood is a great actor play. Often better than long movies ! JOHN BARROWMAN is the better of this crew . He represent his role with perfection.

Not to mention his stories on big finish are crazy

jack isnt a lonly god hes a god forever alone

The wild part is allotta lore actually lines of with that theory

This is the very reason why, even if it was ever possible, I would never wish immortality on anyone. People will see it as an amazing gift, through Jack we know that it would be a huge burden

@@wolfillusion9946 all I'd ever do is sleep

Its the survivor guilt that others blame him. Its the guilt of having some survive while others loose their wanted and very loved ones thus blame those who survive. It is a crazy senerio to ever live through and experience and very very very traumatizing and sad.

@@wolfillusion9946 its a double edge sword, blessing/curse or purgatory pending on who you are and your choices and decisions. But yeah, sometimes without others, it becomes very burdensome, aka the lines of the doctor and the doctors companions. But in a way, he did get a step closer to the doctor but at the same in a way cant be with him as a companion anymore.

He's basically a human analogue to the Doctor. Different capabilities of course, but damned formidable. As has been said of the Doctor, it is not good for him to be alone.

And it's torture. Immortality is a curse, not a blessing. You live forever watching those you love die.

In many ways it's worse, and I expect most of the parallels between him and the Doctor are quite intentional. Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones, but you still have to choose.

People want to know the meaning of life, the meaning of life is life that your Alive A function living being,

@@yinyang452 eh, pending, if ya are watching things unfold and stuff play out over time and get to mert new people and try new things. Immortality is like a tool, depends on the usage and ya point of view. Yes, its a double edge sword, but ya can become your family's like guardian protector and stuff. Although, with time, comes hard choices in any siduation. So yes, a blessing/curse is the way to describe it. However, with tools in mind, if techology's ripe it doesn't matter if ya kill all who have that idea, it will pop back up again and there will be a point it cant be stopped. Although with evil thoughts and theories, ya have to scar it so bad so it gets avoided or blemished. Its just hard to deal with such things and choices.

@@yinyang452 Well, only if nobody else is immortal. If everyone was immortal it would certainly change the picture, I would think.

Thanks a lot!!!

He always happy to see the doctor I feel it's because they understand each other the know each others pain

Welp, pending eternity, face of boa.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS There was an interesting article I was reading about The Face of Boa's death and how it might not have been an actual death. It said it might even just be a transcendence. Without knowing the exact details of how Jack becomes the Face of Boa, there can be only guessing. It's an interesting little piece and I wish I could remember where I stumbled on it, but it makes a sort of interesting sense.

@@paladonis I suppose he could have lived that long without being killed and became the face of Boe. As the face of Boe he then used his life energy to open up the motorway and died. He then later came back to life as normal Jack again 🤷‍♂️

Welp, its just that way also with surviving major disasters natural or man made. You have choices to make, whether good or bad, its your successors to decide, but sometimes it's better the doctors way, be mindful of your past but keep looking forward otherwise survivors guilt and the guilt of making such decisions will crush ya, well at least if ya have some morality and a heart. Good example of someone who goofed up with such a siduation was Lot. His wife looked back as fleeing even though told not to, turned to salt. He was so traumatized he should have allowed his daughters to go back to family to find husbands, he should have gone to abraham and found such among the tribe or back to older family like abraham made Issac and issac made jacob do. Third cousins are far enough away to marry ( intertwining keeps certain good traits in the family strong as said like a pedigree), but sometimes its good to also go outside the family every so often for other traits. Like how certain wheats have a fungus resistance that the normal doesnt. It depends on the siduation and choices at hand as well as love, without love and a close friendship and understanding, any marriages are null and void and just crumble. It is always bad, even toxic, for a marriage and kids if its held together by finances, items, inheritance, positions, greed, bad ambition, and so forth. No love, usually equals a world of trauma that can last for several generations if not forever in some cases when running around and cheating comes into physical form of other children. 😨 Then throw into the mix that many do it in a local area, some state or country wise others global, for such things, ruins diversity and makes it easier for gene issues and complications to pop up, and is just disgusting and morally wrong in so many ways.

Being the only immortal is a curse.

Thank you very much!!!

I think the biggest difference between Jack and The doctor, is the Doctor runs, through time and space and rarely ever looks back. The doctor can change faces, become someone new and it dulls the pain of loss because each doctor is different from the last Jack can only ever be Jack. He is trapped as himself with his memories and unlike the doctor, he spends time looking back. If they do a new Torchwood it would be interesting if Jack met Me/Ashildr. Jack immortal man, Me the immortal woman. Both of them with lasting damage from the doctor. Both were cursed and abandoned by the doctor with little explanation

@@n.jboltz599 I'd love to see a new Torchwood series with Jack and Me/Ashildr as a team

@@jacobcordner Didn't she also have a TARDIS? think the last episode she was on her and Clara were going the long way back

@@n.jboltz599 yup, in that american diner tardis.

'Immortality is everybody else dying'

But, against that sentiment is the fact that the Doctor stops the bigger villains. I mean, the Dalek invasion of Earth when Jack's team existed showed how it would go without the Doctor, even with the help of all the other figures and organizations that exist from the Doctor's Third Incarnation onwards helping out as well. Total destruction, had the Daleks not had an ulterior motive for taking Earth in the first place. Now, put that with the Autons, the Sontarans and the all the others the Doctor has defeated, it would turn out the same result. The Master took the Earth without them even realising what was happening.

The Doctor often trades on his interstellar reputation. Probably the clearest example here is how he made the Atraxi fear him in "Eleventh Hour". Because of the few extremely horrendous things he did (like killing the Dalek fleet above Gallifrey), he can trade on that notoriety to not have to do similar actions repeatedly. He also has more advanced technologies and a better understanding of technology/science than Jack Harkness, allowing him greater flexibility in peacefully/bloodlessly resolving conflicts. Jack Harkness lacks these two key advantages, which is why his solutions are more messy and filled with difficult choices.

Thank you so much!!!

John deacided to wave his penis around on set and killed his bbc career and before u say internet rumors he admitted it

Yesssss

Right totally could have gone back to his old shenanigans, but like he said, traveling with the doctor changed him. And we truly see that change in him also. The saddest thing is we quite possibly may never see him again because of things that happened almost 20 years ago

Thank you!

@@MargaritaLife thank you your tributes are really good I can't appreciate them enough

Thank you so much!!!

To be fair the Doctor never asks about him at the end of the universe or the modern day IIRC. He just asks in old london which I'm pretty sure is before she would have seen him anyways

Well at the end of the universe he(The Face of Boe) had already perished so Jack likely never made it that far

@@afriendlyreminder6072 ashildr was immortal before jack(i believe) so I would assume it would've had to been when she created her own settlement and stopped traveling before she met Clara of course. Considering she had a time machine I would think she would've run across jack at least once

@@afriendlyreminder6072 yeah but he still lived for like 5 billion years. Still surprising they didn't meet (assuming they didn't. Like I said in my comment it's very possible they did and Ashildr just didn't mention it)

@@captainchaos5705 I do think we in the whoverse tend to forget that something like 5 billion years means nothing when put against the infinite universe times the infinite moments in time. I think it's more likely they wouldn't have met considering that Jack consistently throughout his life was traveling through both time and space with the exception of his little stays on Earth, while Ashildr only momentarily had that access

Makes ya wonder about that guy Jesus cursed not to die till he comes back, now there would be a legend teller.😕

@@razorransom1795 the stories he could share would be amazing

@@razorransom1795 Huh? I don't remember that from the Bible...?

@@jmills6397 read anne cathrine Emmrich life or christ. I think he is mentioned in there. That part was either omitted in the bible selection due to jewish vs gentile schism and his existance was a kept secret by then and in a way still is. His story wasn't known till later when he got baptised and took up the name Joseph, original name capharius.😎 Got curious after an anime mentioned that story and name and then saw it agai when skimming and picking section reading in Life of christ. The issue made more sense after my studies on jewish and european history and was jesus a jew class. I saw the unsaid or blatently ignored from pride and,being chosen over the jews part of christianity and understood the never mentioned jewish vs gentile Schism and Acts made more sense and I saw the divisons grow between gentiles and jews on paper over the laws and the interpertation on traditions and opinion over them. Although the jews did have ro follow them to end of time jewish or not due to God' s promise to abraham, but they were added on to and twisted so much by pharasees and sadducees it was being to burdensome on people, thus why Jesus came in to fulfill them (but doesn't mean bring to an end but completes them, showing the whole picture, and simpfling them back to what they were. Also it was wrong on the jews part to try to force the gentil to do it aude their were still new and sproutlings. Also a documentwry my mom and I watched on historians on Jesus, Peter and Paul's lives also highlighted these facts and brought some new facts to life. Like how when Jesus died and raised back up who did he give the keys to the kingdom and temple too? What did jews on the temple do to them and what ultimately happened? To Peter and the group, technically mary maglean was head of the women after the blessed virgin Mary, cause the women had their own side on the temple. And Paul (Saul) wad only half jewish moms side, other roman dads side, thus why he was never crucified but beheaded cause roman citizen. But why he was suppose to head the gentile half as James was jewish bishop.). Peter after was it citing what moses said about not wanting to drown the seedlings, said cannot halve too follow the Kosher laws fully but the comandments and refrained from idol blessed produce, meat or food. But after the disciples died, everything went to ruins with gentiles made at jews and them doing the law and gentile pride scarring many back into the pharasee and saducce arms and new modern judaism. Then the rift got so bad, it turned into anti semitism. I believe of the rift wasn't there, i believe protestantism would have never taken place, cause their is much brought to the table with the jewish oral traditions passed down. Then both groups ted purifying and distilling their sister religions (vaule modern judaism is not ancient Judaism and modern and judaism are siblings then),so they were so distinct from each other and that no one coule see the others side otherwise ostracized from all. Thus treatment on both sides to each other gor worse, and if God blessed some jews it too the gentiles would not acknowledge it. The jews are the working in the physical realm and creation as gentiles are more spiritual only. Both are halves of a whole, and that needs fixed before end of time. Thus why romans 11 and the sheep two flocks become one. Thus why anne cathrine emmrich's gentile bias also got repamanded and fixed and was given the sugar and strawberry anology. If rome ever part burns or gets geo gassed, its suppose to go back to Israel then. Also what is up with the church in eclipse, black pope and mouth piece/s and st johns boscos ships, two pillars and the great storm.

Not necessarily, sure lot of authors of sci-fi and fantasy sees it that way, but since we don't know anyone immortal those are just wild guesses. In opinion person would adapt, get used to it also if that person would be forever young it could meet new people, experiencing new adventures, and so on, people are born all the time. And lastly, just because others lives will be limited does not diminish their value in getting to know them. But I think trying to judge immortality without being immortal is like judging ability to fly, without being able to, lot of people would tell you that it would be terrifying and yet there are people and animals who fly with enjoyment.

Thank you so much!!!

I agree, this edit, the music, the build up, the memories - it really captures the true legend of Jack Harkness

From what I heard John got into some trouble and is no longer allowed to work on dr who or torchwood

@@crystald3655 yeah for sexual behavior on set and in other occasions Also his hair is white now And the guy that played Mickey allegedly harassed 20 women It's hard seeing people you liked in children TV shows becoming that..

Thank you so much!!!
