::John could however have told Gray that Jack was now the name his brother was going by, and could have used it for convenience. Jack could also have been his given first name or possibly a childhood nickname. He could have chosen the name "Jack Harkness" for convenience in case he ever bumped into a person he knew before he renamed himself. Jack Harkness could have been Jack's real name completely but he assumed the identity (as in the life as well as the name). | ::John could however have told Gray that Jack was now the name his brother was going by, and could have used it for convenience.

*The Time line is completely messed up. In [[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]], it was 21 months since Ianto joined. That must be after [[Doomsday]], making Fragments February 2009 at the earliest. It also had Owen joined 4 years earlier making that 2005. However this episode states that Tosh covered for Owen as a Doctor in his second week - obviously a reference to [[Aliens of London]] - but that was 2006. Jack also states that 107 years have passed since Torchwood uncovered him in 1901, suggesting 2008. | *The Time line is completely messed up.

::Torchwood series 2 is officially set in January to April 2008 from the team's excnahged messages on the in-universe websites, a novel or two set during this series, and dialouge. Series 3, which is one year. This is SUPPOSED to be in 2008. | ::Torchwood series 2 is officially set in January to April 2008 from the team's excnahged messages on the in-universe websites, a novel or two set during this series, and dialouge.

:::Those certainly can't be reasonably trusted as much as the show itself, and in-show Fragments and Exit Wounds definitely mess up the timeline. He is correct that "21 months" makes the EARLIEST Fragments can occur March 2009, and that the "Space Pig" Tosh and Owen reference from Aliens of London must in fact take place in 2006, which is contradicted by "4 years" earlier whether this is in 2008 OR 2009. These are all set in stone within the continuity of the show. | :::Those certainly can't be reasonably trusted as much as the show itself, and in-show Fragments and Exit Wounds definitely mess up the timeline.
