Further thoughts on Torchwood 3.2  

Well, at least we know now what happens when Jack dies by being split into little itty bits. We've been waiting a long time for canon to clear that up.

Although I'm still half expecting several other Jacks to turn up, who've grown out of the other bits left in the depths of the Hub. (And ewwwwww, trying not to think about that too closely!)

It seems to me that they've missed something though. The arm we saw sticking up out of the rubble was his left arm and his left arm should have had his wriststrap on it. You can't tell me that explosion left his arm whole but somehow blew the wriststrap off it??? So what happened to his wriststrap???

And is it gone for good???? :-( Or will John magically show up with a new one at some point. *g*

I love being in a fandom where NOTHING WE INVENT CAN BE CRAZIER THAN THE SHOW. And I must dig out my 'unexpected clothed Jack' icon for occasions such as this.

I'd forgotten the vortex, but yes, definitely. Endless infinity couldn't kill it, what's a little high explosive after that. Your explanation makes as much sense as any:

*ringring*

"Tallulah van Hardcore."

"You know, I'm not sure she'd like you taking her name in vain."

"Finally decided to chuck it all in and come over to the dark side? We have guns. And cookies."

"It's not your cookies I'm interested in. And how the hell do you have cookies?"

"Scout master."

"..."

"Well you asked."

"Yeah, I'm remembering why it's a bad idea to ask you to explain anything. Listen, I need a favour."

"That's going to cost you."

"Doesn't it always? What do you want?"

"If I say anything involving poodles, you're just going to say no, right?"

"John..."

"Okay, okay. Since you mentioned her, I'll take Tallulah's current whereabouts and call it quits. She owes me a drink. And a-"

"See, there you go, telling me things I don't need to know again. Locate that homing chip for me and they're yours."

"Now that's just not fair. How come you get yours first? Story of our relationship, that is."

"Just find the homing chip, would you? We had some trouble at the Hub and it's lost in the rubble."

"Seriously? So we're really talking about a pretty big favour then."

"John..."

"Nope, that's going to cost you more."

"What do you want?"

"Make me an offer."

*pause*

"When I said we had some trouble, what I really mean is that I got blown up into tiny pieces. As was everything I was wearing. When I came round, and once the screaming agony had passed? I was chained to the wall. And there was a camera."

"Done. Sending you the co-ordinates now. Opening video uplink."

*g* No worries. Although if you could give me...say...30 minutes, I'll work it up into something resembling fic (because I like it too!) and whack it in my journal. I'll drop you the link when it's done.
