I “knew” I was bisexual before watching Doctor Who or Torchwood, but ignored it, denied it, or pushed it to the side. In my head I was both “not queer enough” or “just faking it.” I didn’t think my experience as a bisexual was valid
But after watching Jack onscreen being an unapologetic, flirtatious bisexual (who, in the words of Tosh, “shag anything if it was gorgeous enough”), I was finally able to accept my own bisexuality. I owe a lot to Captain Jack and Doctor Who / Torchwood in general for helping me realize who I am.

“U.S. people are taught that their military culture does not approve of or encourage targeting and killing civilians and know little or nothing about the nearly three centuries of war-fare-before and after the founding of the U.S.-that reduced the Indigenous peoples of the continent to a few reservations by burning their towns and fields and killing civilians, driving the refugees out--step by step--across the continent....Violence directed systematically against noncombatants through irregular means, from the start, has been a central part of Americans' way of war. “
Military Historian John Grenier

The Doctor intentionally leaving Jack on the game station was wildly out of character and I've never understood it
You're telling me Rose didn't fucking demand to go back for him at any point in time???

concept, captain jack but he's a cursed parrot shapeshifter
i brainstormed the idea with friends and we've come to a conclusion that he was one of the first people to mess with vex magic - a topic not yet researched at all - and made a deal to be free like a bird only to get cursed and be forced to be an actual bird for most of the time

Hey! I’m alive, so here’s another torchwood detail:
In They Keep Killing Suzie, the team has to go into a locker with all of Suzie Costello’a belongings. Everything has been shoved into boxes or on top of the boxes in a haphazard manner. Who packed away Suzie’s life? Who had to go through her belongings and hide it away?
I doubt there’s a Torchwood moving team, so it’s possible that Tosh, Owen, Ianto, and Jack had to pack away her belongings themselves. This could be why no one else was surprised (other than Gwen) that Suzie’s belongings had been packed away in such a manner.
Something I noticed is that at the front of the storage unit, there’s a doll on top of one of the boxes instead of being thrown into one of the myriad boxes in the unit.
The thought of Tosh, Ianto, Owen, or Jack holding Suzie’s doll to their chest and mourning their corrupted coworker right before they shut the doors on Suzie’s life forever is a heartbreaking one.

Ianto: I CAN'T DO IT!
Jack, laughing: I CAN'T EITHER!
Ianto: I CANT FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE
Gwen: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US.
Ianto:
Ianto: I appreciate it,
Ianto: BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH-
Tosh: Ianto-
Ianto: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!
Jack: Ianto we gotta-
Ianto: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.
Ianto: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?'
Ianto, motioning to Owen using instant coffee: NOT FUCKING THIS!!!!!
