Besides there is always the possibility that Jack could come back. UNIT seem to know Torchwood, and perhaps the purpose of their location, they could manage the rift. However, nobody's said anyone is watching it.'') | ||
*With Day Five being set on a Saturday (if the newspaper Ianto picked up is anything to go by), then why are the children at school? Obviously the government told them to but why would they go? (''Not all of them did - and seeing as they missed a day of school, their parents may have wanted them to make up for it. Plus, parents may send children in for the injection they were suppossed to receive.)'' | *With Day Five being set on a Saturday (if the newspaper Ianto picked up is anything to go by), then why are the children at school?

*Why does Jack's vortex manipulator work? ''(It didn't, at least not as a teleport. Jack simply used it to send a signal. The ship then teleported him up.)'' | *Why does Jack's vortex manipulator work? ''(It didn't, at least not as a teleport. Jack simply used it to send a signal.

*How does Jack know when a vessel is passing through the Solar System? (''In regards to the Solar System vessel, he may be able to identify it due to his futuristic background (i.e. he knew the freighter's schedule from some dealings in his relative past) or he knew the night sky above Cardiff, picked out a light that didn't belong and made an educated guess (he has been in Cardiff for over 150 years after all, it's conceivable that he would know the night sky by now. It's also possible, if not likely, that he still has access to equipment that may allow him to track alien spacecraft.'')(Or he found out about the freighter in the six months after ther the destruction of the 456.) | *How does Jack know when a vessel is passing through the Solar System?

*The way Gwen talks about the Doctor on her video, you'd think she'd never seen nor met the man.

*Why do the soldiers that chase Gwen and the others suddenly stop after the children had used their voices to kill the 456 in Thames House and why does Gwen instantly know that the children saved themselves? (''Perhaps the soldiers were informed of the 456's defeat, and relayed the information to the soldiers, ceasing the pursuit.

They may have also been informed of the captive childrem emitting the high pitched soundwave, and relayed that info to Gwen, who they knew was with Torchwood.'') | ||

''(He asked her for it. Even if she knew that he was going to use it to leave, it would have been childish to keep it from him and try to force him to stay against his will.)'' | ||
*Why, so soon after Journey's End, did Jack forget about Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith was capable of ringing every mobile in the world; surely he'd be able to broadcast the signal Jack needed? ''(The children are directly connected to the 456, necessitating to the best of Jack's knowledge that the signal be sent through them. Plus he has no way to contact Sarah Jane)'' | *Why, so soon after Journey's End, did Jack forget about [[Mr. Smith]]?
