Surely, this is what would have happened...
Select to view spoiler:
So, Torchwood Jack snogs the "real" Jack on the dancefloor in front of a hall full of punters, and then conveniently hops back to 2006 through the time rift, thinking that "real" Jack is going to be killed on his mission the next day, and of course he can't go meddling with events and changing history...
BUT,
The "real" Jack is now left in front of all those people in 1941 when homosexuality was illegal. Likely he would be beaten up and turned over to the police... Nice one (TW)Jack. Doh.

Personally I find these sentiments mildly offensive. Although I do understand them because there was a time when I found man on man sex creepifying. then i grew up. My former housemate expressed similar views after 'Captain Jack Harkness' aired. I believe his exact words were "The hero of Torchwood's a bender! The whole show is ruined for me!" To which I just rolled my eyes and thought 'what a stupid d**k'. that was pretty much my reaction to most things he said. Altho, if you don't wanna see two guys kiss thats up to you i guess. just, torchwood might not be an ideal show for you lol.
But c'mon, seriously, you didn't notice jacks omnisexuality before this? its been pretty blatant sometimes lol

for example when he kissed the doctor in bad wolf/parting of the ways (Who seas. 1), or his Initial Appearance in "The Empty Child" (who seas. 1) to paraphrase the 9th Doctor:
He's a 25th century man.
Rose - So what we just go out and sleep our way across the galaxy?
(I should really re-watch those episodes....)
Keep in mind these series( Doctor Who, & Torchwood) are helmed by a Gay man(Russell T Davies), and John Barrowman(actor who plays Capt. Jack) IS Gay. so it's only natural for here to be such a (not strictly hetero)character.
incidentally he(Barrowman) was one of the finalists for the role of Will, on Will & Grace, was passed over for "not seeming gay enough." ( Will was played by Eric McCormick, a straight man)

Not mine I hope, I just thought Jack hadn't really thought things through there... I got no problem with folks being sly.

Heh.. each to their own and all that..
Personally I find homosexuality mildly or even slightly more than mildly offensive. I'm not a poofter basher or anything like that.. I can ignore their carryings on unless they try and involve me.
I'm not really trying to offend, I just find gayness unnatural and to your inference that I need to grow up.. i'm past that pal. You cant teach an old dog new tricks.

No, not yours, Cruithne3753. You made a good point. Sorry, should have made it clearer which comments I was referring to.

I've heard this show is really good, I think I'll look into it after I finish getting caught up on Doctor Who, I haven't seen all of season 2 yet.

it's not really said WHEN torchwood takes place(unlike season 3, which we know is 2008), but it is clearly post season 2. jack has the doctor's hand from the Christmas invasion, and there are a couple mentions of the final battle of season 2...
but all in all a good watch.

I am a huge torchwood fan. We are only halfway through season 1 here in Oz though. I saw bits of dr who season one and thought it was funny, was starting to get interested when they got a new Dr. I havent really watched it much since - looks like Im going to have to go back and find them on DVD or something, as Ive obviously missed a lot - I had wondered who's hand that was in the jar! Anyone who wants to PM me the gist of the crossover episodes - I have nothing against spoilers. I am a sick puppy who will go online and read the episode guides for the next season, just to get a fix on any of my favourite shows, as we are always so far behind in OZ. SO I dont mind finding out things I havent seen yet.
The episode 'They keep killing Suzie' aired last night - anyone got any ideas on what sort of things Ianto was suggesting about the stopwatch? The mind boggles, but it sure cheered jack up!
