Jack is immortal, he's been around for a while and has seen a lot of things and has experienced a lot of agonizing deaths. That he's as sane as he currently is, is a small miracle. He's never been really close to his (grand) children and I got the distinct impression that they are 'mistakes'. The flashback to 1965 already showed us that he can be a really cold customer that weighs the numbers. Simply said, life and death mean something very different to Jack then to the rest of humanity.Jack vs. Aliens: In 1965 they traded a cure for a plague for 12 children, that could very well be construed as a trade instead of 'tribute'. And 12 children is pretty insignificant to the number of folks that have died/disappeared due to aliens (etc.), so burying it might have been the political thing to do (if you want British politics watch a few episodes of Judge John Deed). It isn't the first time that Aliens have threatened earth, but I suspect that the ease with which a (very fast and deadly) biological agent was introduced into a secure facility might have been shocking (not to mention the instantaneous manipulation of electronic system and physical devices like the doors). Jack was a bit shell shocked after that after another lovers death (I suspect he won't ever get used to that), and he did eventually come up with a 'backup' plan.Overall I find Torchwood a bit to gritty for my tastes, it does show well that The Doctor has some kind of 'touch' that no earth based organization can duplicate (not UNIT, not Torchwood). Making Doctor Who all the more special.Questions: Is this the end of Torchwood season 3 of the end of the entire series? Why was the season so darned short? And where is my Who fix???</blockquote>
