::He could have simple being closing his eyes, or attempting to get some sleep. It could also be possible that Jack was simply exaggerating or simply lying. He may have just meant he doesn't need sleep and not that it is biologically impossible for him to sleep at all. | ::He could have simple being closing his eyes, or attempting to get some sleep.

::: Exagerating makes sense. Anyone would say "I don't sleep" while only having trouble to sleep. And Jack being haunted by his past every night makes sense. In retrospect, Jack is actually eluding Gwen's question in Ghost Machine being about where he sleeps, since there is somewhere he at least tries to. | ::: Exagerating makes sense. Anyone would say "I don't sleep" while only having trouble to sleep. And Jack being haunted by his past every night makes sense. In retrospect, Jack is actually eluding Gwen's question in Ghost Machine being about where he sleeps, since there is somewhere he at least tries to sleep. A plot hole could be seen here, but the authors could simply be tricky, letting the audience wonder in Ghost Machine about Jack's true nature after Rose revived him (Is he still human ? Does he still need to sleep ? Can he still biologically sleep ?), and answering later on in the series that he still needs some sleep, but simply can't because while being immortal he has too many harsh experiences to live with. | ||

:: | :: Assuming this question refers to the flashback scene with Jack's squad. At this point in the episode, we only saw the child molester's choking, and it was noisy. But in the end scene, we see how Roy dies : the faery plunges his arm inside the victim's mouth, there is no choking as such, and it actually isn't noisy. There still should be noises from the struggle. Yet, the episode suggests that the power of the faeries is much stronger than what we witnessed, as Jack (explaining to the Torchwood team) and Jasmin (in the ending scene) state it, they control the elements. | ||
