a_silver_storyOkay ... so I dunno ... but quite a few people seem to be wondering 'Why does Jack come back to Earth?'. Is it to make right all that he did wrong? Is it to finally face his past? Is it because he remembers he has a fucking duty down here?
No.
Oh no.
According to Starz Press Room, it runs so much more deeper than that. Yes - he returns to Earth for a reason so much more profound than anything we ever truly considered - nay, even pondered on.
Captain Jack Harkness returns to planet Earth, facing the depression and ghosts that haunt his every waking step and the 'graveyard' of his own making ... because of his 'unstated love for Gwen Cooper'.
Don't believe me?

It's in the characterassassination bio for Jack, right under 'He's a slut, he's a slut, he's a slut', and just above 'Gwen is the ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!!!!!!!!!'.
Don't bother looking for a reference to Tosh, Owen or Ianto. 'His friends are dead' are all you're getting as far as continuation is concerned.
On the bright side, Gwen named her baby 'Anwen'. Awwww!
And Rex Matheson sounds like a total arse - and he's not even the paedophile.
No.

Date: 2010-08-19 09:29 pm (UTC)I love waiting to read about Torchwood updates on your journal. Even though 90% of them result in serious spit-takes all over my computer screen, it is so worth it.
Although I can't say that I'm actually looking forward to this new season. I get substantially less excited for it every time they release new information on it. Which is kind of awful. I had hopes. (I can't say that they were hopes that it was going to be 'good.' But they were hopes none the less.)
Here's to at least getting at least a good laugh out of the new season?
