*It takes much longer for Jack to revive, he would normally revive after 5 or 10 minutes but after the 456 killed him there was enough time to move him and cover him up, which must have taken at least an hour with all of the other bodies. (''Jack's time to come back varies, usually with how long it takes him to die. For example at the end of series 1 he stood beneath Abaddon for a while before dying. In this instance he was breathing the virus-laden air for a protracted period and therefore it took him longer to come back. It is also possible that he could not revive until all or most of the virus in his system had been purged. It's unknown just how many times Jack died from the virus so it could be that, like with Abaddon, he came closer to death than usual and took longer to come back'') | *It takes much longer for Jack to revive, he would normally revive after 5 or 10 minutes but after the 456 killed him there was enough time to move him and cover him up, which must have taken at least an hour with all of the other bodies.

*In [[Out of Time]], Jack sits in a car with John while he commits suicide by Carbon Monoxide poisoning. This seems to show that Jack can live through airborne poisons while other humans cannot, so why did he die with Ianto in this episode? (''John had inhaled a lot of CO before Jack arrived, and was a smoker, meaning his lungs would be weaker and he would probably have died long before Jack would have.'' ''(We also did not see every moment of the time they were sitting in the car, leaving open the possibility that Jack had "died" and then revived.)'' ''A virus is different from a poisonous gas. It's alive, for one thing.'' | *In [[Out of Time]], Jack sits in a car with John while he commits suicide by Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

*Jack's death by airborne virus (and, in fact, his explosive end in Part One) raises questions about the nature of his immortality. Specifically, if his body can still come to harm, why didn't his body show any signs of dissolving while he was exposed to Stet Radiation in "[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]"? (''Maybe because you die from radiation before you dissolve from it so Jack's body healed before it gets that far as apposed to being blown up where you die after or at the same time as the explosion. It could also be that the Stet Radiation simply ''couldn't'' dissolve him because he needs at least one piece left to grow back from and if there aren't any pieces left, he can't be brought back and thus is no longer a fixed point in time and space.'') | *Jack's death by airborne virus (and, in fact, his explosive end in Part One) raises questions about the nature of his immortality.
