Torchwood: Miracle Day/WMG: Difference between revisions

* Okay, part of this is just that I want Ianto back, but they ''do'' keep bringing him up: "If this had happened earlier, Ianto would still be alive."--But no mention of Tosh and Owen? Jack tells his {{spoiler|dying crazy ex}} that he "would have liked Ianto." Well, why not mention any other relationships you've had since you last saw him? Like the time you got married? Basically, someone's making sure we don't forget Ianto.

** Also, Rex is the smartass [[Lancer]], Esther is the pretty [[smart Girl]] and... no one's bringing coffee. {{spoiler|Granted, Angelo, ''did'' have a lot in common with Ianto, but he isn't a team member.}}

** Jossed. The Miracle didn't have anything at all to do with Ianto.

== The Blessing IS Jack... sort of. ==

** A morphic field using this "Blood Line" as the template would grant the entire planet some facet of Jack's immortality (but not his healing factor).

** Because Jack isn't the "Jackest" source on the planet anymore, technically ''he'' would be drawn to it, and likely would lose his immortality as a result. If you cut Jack in half, you wouldn't wind up with two Jacks. One side would grow, and the other would die. Likewise, Jack is now the "smaller part" that is not immortal, so long as this Blood Line is still intact.

*** I'll say it's a good theory, because on Headscratchers I was wondering what would happen if all the skin cells and intestinal lining, etc a person sheds every day were forever immortal, and would clog up the ecosystem if they didn't break down. So this might be all the immortal biomass Jack has discarded or been bled out over the centuries, some of which got into the food chain and got eaten by every human on Earth, some of which migrated collectively into The Blessing. Then, one day, the biomass descended from Jack becomes more powerful than Jack and he's the shed part. But IMHO, sadly, sounds far too sophisticated for the writing so far. They made no mention that cells shed from all these people would remain immortal, and you'd kinda want to establish that in a way that seemed an extraneous problem at the time.

* This gives us a rationale behind why Jack is not healing (because the Blood Line is) and why everyone's immortal (because the Blood Line is). The ''only'' piece still missing is the motive. Why would someone do this?

* Jossed.

 

Mostly due to using that name and being apparently after immortality.

* Jossed. They're seemingly human, and even if they weren't, they started on the other side of the world from where Son of Mine was left. (The others are in no position to make plans)

 

== The creepy Tarot girl is a member of the Families. ==

* Jossed. The Families started in 1928, while the Tarot girl first appeared some time after 1892 (when Jack discovered his immortality) and before the turn of the 20th century.

 

Come on. "We are everywhere, we are no one"? It would provide an excellent tie-in with Doctor Who as well - something Torchwood hasn't done in a while.

* From the episode 9 trailer, a woman talking to Jilly after she has gone to see "the blessing". Now what does this sound like?

** Jossed. That's not how the Silence work. You forget about them completely. Also, it's a family of humans.

 

== ''Miracle Day'' will explain what happened to Jack's missing memories mentioned in "The Doctor Dances". ==

* Jossed. I'm sure Russell stated that only Steven Moffat (who is busy with ''Doctor Who'' and ''Sherlock'') would have to wrap this subplot up.

 

== Jack is still immortal ==

* Jossed as of Episode 4. One of the mysterious assassins is convinced that Jack is mortal.

** They are. See episode 10.

* Jack's immortality relates to the fact that he is a fixed point in time. And something like that can't just be turned off. The Miracle takes away his healing factor, but because of the whole 'fixed point' thing, Jack still cannot be killed.

* One of the missing Torchwoods. Think about it - they sent out the word "Torchwood" not to get rid of the existing members but because ''they are'' Torchwood.

** Jossed.

** Unlikely. Even if they existed in the 21st century, the Sisters only did so once Earth descendants landed on New Earth. They did so out of necessity, not (only) for kicks.

** And Jossed.

* The Cell from Torchwood season 2. Remember how they said Jack had been "factored into their plans"? Given the vague hints about playing the system in episode 6, an army that makes deep-cover agents as a standard procedure seem like the prime suspects for this. That or this is going to result in the creation of [[Faction Paradox|the enemy]].

** Jossed. The Families are human, and the Blessing itself lives underground.

** Jossed. De Lancie plays a CIA head.

* The Trickster's Brigade. At least, the brain-parasite is probably going to play some part in the proceedings.

** Jossed. The Trickster's Brigade parasite was met and destroyed a year before the Blessing was even planned.

* Jossed.

 

She's a good possibility - Gwen said as much to her.

* See the response to Johnson. Also, Jossed.

== In the new season, Torchwood 4 will be found and become the new base of operations. ==

 

* Seemingly Jossed. They don't have any permanent base of operations, moving across the two American coasts, into Britain and finally, Shanghai and Buenos Aires.

 

 

== Jack can die.... but once the Miracle is over he'd come back to life. ==

** That's pretty much what happened in episode ten, for both Jack and Rex. (Twice for Rex. .)

 

 

== The series will end with a [[Reset Button]]. ==

** This would also explain why Jack, who is from the future, had no knowledge of the Miracle beforehand.

** Except for the fact that the Miracle was directly caused by him. Thanks to time travel, he ended up in a time that wasn't his own, and his existence in that timeline caused a major change in the flow of events. There's no way he could have possible know about the Miracle given that his time travel interference is what caused it.

** Jossed. The Blessing is the negative space, not the stuff around it. Also, while Jilly's message isn't stated, Jack's, Gwen's and Oswald's are, and even Oswald's doesn't quite sound like "he's a cunt".

 

* Thus explaining how the Families got not one, but ''two'' moles into the same CIA office.
