The difference between Jack and Reinette (apart from ''la différence'') is that Jack's still around. I doubt that RTD has forgotten about the missing 2 years; it's more likely he's not come up with what he considers the right story to hang on that hook. Other writers would probably be a bit shy about using it while Jack's still so much RTD's main character in ''Torchwood''. Also, Jack's life has been so long and eventful that it's not difficult for writers to invent secrets in his past to suit their stories, without touching that one. --[[Special:Contributions/2.96.28.11|2.96.28.11]] 12:13, October 6, 2011 (UTC) | |||

So, I was rewatching the first season of New Doctor Who, and when I got up to Jack's introduction, I was reminded of a plot point that I had completely forgotten about. When Jack was explaining why he left the Time Agency, he claimed that he had woken up one day missing two years of his memory, and he wasn't sure if he was a good person or not because of this. Now, with all the Torchwood episodes that deal with some dark secret from Jack's past catching up with him, from both before and after he gained his immortality, how did this never come up again, or did I miss something? Is this going to be a plot point in a future episode of Doctor Who, or did the writers just forget about it?Icecreamdif talk to me 04:41, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
