In this Doctor Who spin off, Earth has a problem that is the opposite of WA. Instead of nearly everyone getting killed, people stop dying. At its heart a conspiracy of families. Although I think this is coincidental, I still give it two thumbs up. Good scifi and Jack Harkness is my favorite Dr Who character
Great recommendation! They're going to re-run the series on BBC America later this month.
From information (read: a Tweet from John Barrowman) that I've seen, it's going to start in like an hour, on BBC america.
Yea, Sid is right. BBC America 9:00 Eastern. I ment to flag it with a watch it now! Looks like a rerun at midnight.
Doesn't Jack Harkness have some sort of WWII backstory? It's been forever since I've seen it. All I really remember is Harkness putting the moves of sexy on everybody.
Jack is certainly an equal opportunity "moves of sexy" kind of guy, if you know what I mean.Quote:

He has not met himself, ( to the best of my knowledge ) but he does seem to be able to transit through the same regions of time more than once. Not a huge Dr. Who fan, but I think that is a restriction on the time lords. Harkness is fixed point in time and space in and of himself I think that it was the doctor said.
I always thought of it as a practical example of the Buckaroo Banzi saying
No mater where he goes, there he is, but of course he has the benefit of when tossed in.
