Owen's Age

In Martha's medical log, she states that Owen is 27 during the events of Reset. We're going to talk about why we should stop accepting that as canon and start referring to Owen as being 34 during Reset.

His birthday of February 14th is always constant and isn't something I dispute. We are given two dates for his year of birth, 1974 or 1980.

1980 is on screen in Reset and I believe Exit Wounds, as well as in text published after season two. The fact that this is well documented makes it hard to argue with, and yet I will.

1974 is only ever mentioned once, in an email that was written and published on the TW website alongside Dead Man Walking. Keep in mind that this would have been written before DMW aired, which suggests that 1980 wasn't in the script that the writers were given. A few days after airing, the date in the email was changed to 1980 to match what we saw on TV.

Let's take a quick look at a Owen timeline.

Born either 1974 or 1980.

Began training as a doctor in 1994. He would either be 14 or 20.

Late 2000/early 2001 he walked out on his college girlfriend in London. He would be either 20 or 26.

In March 2001, Owen is a qualified Doctor in Cardiff. He would be either 21 or 27.

Owen was employed by Cardiff General between at least 2000 and 2002. He would have been either 20-22 or 26-28.

Lucy Marmer is brought to Owen's attention in September 2001, six months after Owen qualified. Owen would be either 21 or 27.

Katie dies in 2005, which would make Owen either 25 or 31.

Owen is hired by Torchwood in 2006, making him either 26 or 32.

Reset is set after June 2008, making Owen either 28 or 34.

Having Owen be born in 1974 puts his timeline into some form of sense. It makes him a year older than Tosh, four years older than Gwen, and nine years older than Ianto, which sits well with the dynamics. He in no way feels five years younger than Tosh, two years younger than Gwen, and three years older than Ianto.

In addition, Burn himself is born in 1974 and I frankly don't think he looks six years younger than he actually is.

I will now take questions from the audience.

This photo, taken on the night that the first episode of Torchwood aired, makes me so nostalgic it almost hurts.

Crazy to think it was seventeen years ago.

endless list of pairings i love  →  toshiko sato + owen harper (torchwood)

I love you. Not many women had said that to Owen, fewer still that meant it. And none that had known him as well as Toshiko did. […] And maybe that was what got Owen so angry. Maybe he could have been happy with Toshiko. If he hadn’t been dead.

S1 Ianto is such a wild little creature, he has like 4 lines in the first 3 episodes, has a full blown mental breakdown and cries for 45 minutes straight in episode 4 while planning to murder jack, gets retraumatised two episodes later, feels sorry for himself, suddenly propositions jack over a corpse OUT OF NOWHERE and then just throws one liners out until the finale where he shoots owen, what a character progression, what a rollercoaster
