Talk:Jack Harkness

Face of Boe

Why does the Face of Boe have to be a redirect here? He maybe Jack according to Last of the Time Lords, but still I think the face still deserves his own article. The evil dudeKorak 14:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps the Face of Boe article should be reverted back, it's more or less like the Doctor, the Face of Boe is Jack's "future incarnation" with his own personality and identity (and adventures) separate from Jack Harkness. --Tangerineduel 15:46, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Pregnancy: surely the mention of being pregnant in some way relates to Boe's pregnancy in The Long Game?

It is theoretically possible, though the suggestion is that Jack has been pregnant in his past, but Boe (Jack's future self) has/will be pregnant as his 'Boe self' (rather than Jack himself). --Tangerineduel 13:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been explicitly stated that Jack is the same Face of Boe, as the one that the Doctor meets on New Earth, so this should be written into the article as being speculation at best. Russell T Davies has said it is only "theory" anyways, so we shouldn't take it as being fact. — beeurd ^talk 20:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

jack IS boe

i know there have been other discussions about this but i now have proof that jack IS boe (i think) boe dies in the year 5 billion and 53 (or some time near that) BUT he knows about yana who exists in the year something TRILLION, a bit more than a billion, so how else could boe know about yana unless he is actually jack and also i think its very unlikely the doctorwho writers will throw in a wild gosse chase about a charecter we are probably never going to see again81.108.233.59 18:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but that is still speculation, not proof. Face of Boe could have known about Yana because Yana said that he was found as a child on the coast of the Silver Devastation, which is the area previously identified as where the Face of Boe comes from. — beeurd ^talk 23:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

but boe still died in 5billion and 23 and i think yana wouldnt live from 5billion and 23 to about the year 10trillion without dying of old age (remember he did make himself human) and even if he did how would the face of boe know that he was a timelord81.108.233.59 08:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

There is the possibility that the Face of Boe was either A) Guessing in a generalised sense that 'Your are not alone' was in fact just that, and it was just a coincidence that it spelled YANA. B) That the Face of Boe was a psychic (which is possible and there have been psychics previous in stores), and was genuinely able to foretell the future. This option is less unlikely than it might seem, the Face of Boe is already telepathic, and as a Face/head he doesn't have much else to master body wise, so mental abilities could be one of the abilities of Boekind.

But also, there isn't a direct chain of events that lead between Jack and Boe, there is only supposition that leads to the assumption that Boe and Jack, it's enough to suggest the possibility but not enough to say for certain that they are the same person. A name isn't proof, so for now (until more information comes to light that is). --Tangerineduel 10:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
