I’m finishing off my Torchwood rewatch, listening to the commentary on Miracle Day ep.10. And they are talking about how Rex’s immortality is Blessing based whereas Jack is a fixed point in time and space. Plus how we don’t know if Jack was mortal during the events of MD.

And I’m sat here realising how on brand that would be for Jack. Him going about being overdramatic, claiming he’s mortal when nothing has changed.

This is back up by the injury Jack got in Ep.1, a cut on his arm. It didn’t heal instantly. Which was what Jack was claiming as evidence of him being mortal. But if you remember back in Cyberwoman Ianto punched Jack. At the end of the episode, at least a few days after the main events of the episode, we see Jack again still with bruising from the punch. Proving the theory that non-threatening injuries take longer to heal. Now by the time Miracle Day happens Jack has almost definitely forgotten about this fact given the amount he has died daily.

#yeah i actually thought that Jack being a fixed point in time would supercede the Miracle if forced to#like if Jack was killed the two would fight it out and Jack would be dragged back to life as usual in the end#maybe even breaking the Miracle in the process

@this-is-quite-homoerotic​ i’m not sure about the ‘breaking the Miracle’ thing because that just feels a bit too OP…?  [and i say that as the self-appointed biggest fan of Jack’s OP-ness]

but yeah i def agree if nothing else, had he died during the Miracle, at the worst he would’ve revived after it ending, or heck - after being shot into space (assuming someone would do that with his corpse), because the Miracle is Earth-based, right??
