@nathand3 No, in the Last Of The Time Lords, episode 13 of season three of Doctor Who, in the end of that episode Captain Jack says that the people from where he lived called him the Face of Boe because he was the first to sign up for the time agency.
how does any one know the face of boe is jack? didnt torchwood end with jack getting his blood in that black fbi agent and he became imortal? the face of boe could be any one now lol
If he burned to death, he would heal. In fact, if he was burned and didn't die, he would still heal. Thats his power, not only immortality but the abillity to heal wounds. Watch Mirical Day?
NO, in the Torchwood hie is literally blown up and the remaining pieces sew themselves back together, thus he can't die even if he gets blown to smithereens, quite literally
Jack mentions that he still ages, but very slowly. The implication is that he lives for so long and ages so much that....through mutation, deformation, reincarnation whatever the case.....he becomes the face of boe.
Guys, he isn't immortal. He has an extremely high amount of life force and uses up each time he dies. He evolved into the Face of Boe over time and died when his life force ran out
In Miracle Day it explains that he ages, very very slowly but he does age. So if anything, he being immortal just let him evolve into something new, i.e. the Face of Boe.
too bad, this could've actually been a decent theory if he just showed the next part on the season finale where he said he used to be called the face of boe... like that's not a big hint at all
Well, based on what we saw on Miracle Day perhaps burning would kill Jack? That was the 'solution' to the miracle wasn't it? And they said Jack had basically switched places with the rest of the planet.
Then again, maybe the people who got burned weren't 'really' dead either?
Dude did u see the children of earth? He got torn to pieces and then they barley regrouped his left over body parts and he healed, he would definitely heal from a fire
The Face of Boe said it himself, "Everything has its time."
So the theory is that Jack isn't really immortal, but just has a very, very, very long life force. Every time Jack dies and regenerates, a small portion of that life force is removed.
its OBVIOUS!!!! jack asked the doctor and martha that if he kepps aging what will he look like in a million years, so clearly the face of is him in a million years time all old and withered
Think about this. He was shot in the heart, right? And if you recall from an earlier clip in that episode, machine guns opened fire on him. Did he show any signs of damage then? Any bullet holes? Even a scrape?
His body will reassemble itself eventually. We've seen him come back from some very grisly deaths good as new--the bomb they put inside his abdomen in "Children of Earth," say?
Guys. Give the guy a break. He was just showing his opinion. And remember in Doctor Who "The Last of the Timelords", Jack says "The Face of Boe they called me." Coincidence? I don't know. But its something to go off of. Don't criticize someone for just voicing their opinion.
I appreciate your efforts, but your "theory" is very incorrect. Jack survived having been blown up by a bomb- Oil and a match (For him) is a tap on the shoulder!
@Seltro1 When was Jack shot through the head? And when did he blow up? I'm sure it would take millions of years for him to mutate. However I have absolutely no clue what the real answer is. They really need to tell us!
@TPS4EVZ Wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey ball...It explains so much, you know. And while I don't remember them coming right out and explaining the how's of it, they have implied more than enough to get the general idea.
Ok, enough about Boeshane. Jack is from the Delaware/Maryland, Delmarva peninsula, near the Chesapeake Bay mouth in the USA. Here's why ... the accent is mid-Atlantic American & the locations in Torchwood, clearly imply it.
This is where Jack is from, USA 51st century. Boeshane is probably an up to date future municipality since I'm sure that MD, DE & VA will probably merged as one region by then.
@kngrtk The 9th Doctor has a 'northern' accent, is he from northern England? No, he's Gallifreyan. An accent, belonging to an ACTOR not the CHARACTER is not really a way to determine where they're from.
That theory is nice but not possible. This is because jack's been shot in the head, the hole sealed itself back up, jakc's been blown up from the inside out, his body put it'self back together. Get the picture?
The reason he becomes the face of boe is that even though he cannot die, he can still age. So him becoming the face of boe is just what he turns into with his really old age.
The Face of Boe form i the last form of humanity evolution, if human could live forever, so that's why he looks like he looks, he didn't create anything for himself. Your teory is stupid.
Jack is the face of Boe, end of story, the writers confirmed it. How it happens is something that no one knows, perhaps not even the writers! Some interesting theories were brought up though. Individuals don't evolve, that's true, then again an individual hasn't lived as long as Jack has! For all we know he made himself like that so he could die. I wouldn't wanna be 5 billion years old to be perfectly honest! The speculation is what keeps the writers happy and the show going, keep it up! :D
I love ignorance. Why dont you look that up online, again- right now, and you'll find and I quote. "There will never be a confirmation of Jack harkness as the face of boe. Theory or not, stating the fact removes the fun."
They have blocked every literature attempt to officially connect the two. they refuse to do it for a reason. they want you to question it.
@AgentXv2 That was a bit sarcastic for my liking, but whatever! :P So I read what I assumed to be an official statement, that turned out to just be someones online speculation, sue me. They pretty much make everyone think it's Jack anyway, whether they've outright said it or not, there's a lot of evidence to suggest it. But hey, each to their own, eh.
@yellowcard1494 there is a theory that the doctor just didn't stay long enough to see him revived, cause the more life force is drained from him, the longer it takes for him to come back to life
@kopa225 but the face of boa only gave his life force, like jack at the end of series 1 of torchwood. When boa dies, the doctor didnt stay very long, so he could have come back to life later on :) (sorry for commenting two months later)
I see that you made this before Children of Earth. Had you made it after, would you see that your theory is completely stupid, because he gets blown up and ripped apart and he rebuilds himself.
I see that you made this before Children of earth. Had you made it after, would you see that your theory is completely stupid, because he gets blown up and ripped apart and he rebuilds himself.
@dawgghogg you're wrong. It's natural selection DNA randomly changes in a cell. It thereore won't affect much unless it's in the sex cells where the children will inherit the random change. This lead to difference and subsequently an advantage or disadvantage. From this the animals with the mutation have more chance to survive, meaning more chance to reproduce therefore that type if animal takes over. THIS is the theory of evolution.
If you watch the series you will understand. They allude to Jack being the Face of Bo who dies after 5 billion years. Just cause you see Jack later doesnt mean it isnt him. Remember the Doctor and Margaret were far far into the future then at Bo's death. And if you watched afterwards,(i.e. the children of earth) you will see where they gathered the parts of Jack together and he reformed, and was just fine (generally speaking)
Well think back to when the Master made the Doctor age to match his true age without the regeneration cycles, 900 years turned him into something that didn't really resemble a typical human or timelord.(also note his large proportioned head) So in that context it makes sense for 5 billion yrs to become something that looks non-human, and also consider hes not subject to normal wear and tear since he resets rather than regenerate, so he wouldn't age the same way as a human, wrinkles and such
Also, if you remember, David Tennant series, Season 3 (when he brings Martha to New New york, Episode: Rush Hour), the face of boe dies, having used his last bit of energy. So it was kinda moot point for Jack to claim he was called the Face Of Boe..
Can I just say in defence of MerlinTorchHoodWho, this video was done BEFORE Children Of Earth was shown. I noticed a few people using that as a reason why this video is pretty much no longer a possible reason so I thought I'd mention it just in case people didn't see when the video was uploaded. =]
power of jack living for ever must end too however the doctor knowing this and in order for the timelines to not change captain jack must stay alive and inorder to do that he puts him in that tank thingy or captain jack changes his apperance completley to prevent a time paradox from accuring
people who want to find out how captain jack harkness dies ?
well my theory is that the power of everlasting life was given to captain jack by
the tardis which means that captain jack and the tardis have a link now think of it like this when the tardis that captain jack is linked to dies or gets destroyed the -
@ZillasElite ..I did watch the whole Doctor Who and Torchwood series.But it doesn't make any sense to me.When he was blown up to pieces Jack grew arms,legs,everything.. so how would he be left with only a head...Not to mention that in DW's episode 7 season 1 is said that the face of boe is pregnant.Now not only Jack's body miraculously disappears but he becomes hermaphrodite too? oh, please,like that makes sense.
about the fire thing... if you watch toruchwood you would know that even if he is ripped into nothing but small pices they will over time just regerate and form his body once again
@drakananana Yes he does In the children of earth they blow up torchwood and they grab all the pieces of what is left of Jack then he regerates to his normal form.
dude in Torchwood: Children Of Earth jack is blow in to nothing and still he comes back, what makes you think that oil will make him in to the face of boe!!
but what if he lives forver between those two points in time, ie between his birth and death, i mean the doctor himself decribes time as a wiggly ball, and not linear
he IS the face of boe,but he looks like this after 5 BILLION years because he evolves...all humans evolve,he did it in the most obvious way,by not dying,he becomes face of boe because of adapting to the environments. Like I would need a tail,but I need 2000 years to grow one,well,he got plenty of time ;)
@dawgghogg111 .... that shows a complete misunderstading of evolution unless you are talking about the theory of adaptivity as opposed to the evolution of a species, kind of agree though, if he heals back to what his DNA describes him as every time he dies, what If he dies and then has his DNA changed?
@dawgghogg111 Even with infinite time, an individual can't evolve. Evolution occurs in a species when an individual of the population is born with a random mutation that coincidentally makes that individual more likely to survive and reproduce. The population evolves because its members compete for survival, and only the "fittest" get the chance to pass on their genes to the next generation. None of this can happen in an individual.
eh, I don't think The Face of Boe is Jack XD sorry, but really... doesn't really make much sense to me. even when he was blown up to pieces Jack grew eer arms, legs and absolutely everything else... so I don't get how he would be left with only a head even if he does age slowly...
but this video was funny, haha, so funny! XD loved it. *chuckles*
Your wrong...captain jack is the face of boe, the actor himself confirmed it at a comic-con.
And if you watch the show Torchwood (a spin-off from doctor who which stars captain jack) it tells that it's him (although i haven't watched the episode myself but once again...confirmed at a comic-con)
i think that he aged so much that his body just laid off and he got some surgery thingithingi and they put his head in an jar and he just keep on ageing.
no that couldnt happen becauseface ofboe died and jack was still alive watch journeys end and stolen earth and even last of timelords and sound of drums
Well the government planted a bomb in his stomach and detonated it, creating a decent crater in Cardiff, it took him a while longer than usual to come back but he was still as good looking and limb-ful as ever (with the added bonus of NO CLOTHES!) (lol)
Explanation- During The-Year-That-Never-Was, The Master, during one of his torture methods, be-headed Jack, and placed it in a jar, the head could've lived without the body...
captain jack is a fixed point meaning he can die just not permanent in like u say he was blown up in torchwood yes he would of died and had to re-build himself but he still died and just came back to life
Russell T Davies, in the episode's commentary, called the implication of this scene "a theory."
Also, I heard some where that The Face of Boe had like six kids or something, each living only to 40, the average life-span of the species. Whether that was either true or canon, I don't know.
but river song said everybody knows that everbody dies, AND KNOW ONE KNOWS THAT MORE THAN THE DOCTOR, and time is the biggest killer, you will die eventually and plus rose will die one day so tht might affect it or that He is so weak or has used up all his life force. And if he was burnt then he would heal but remember...if there were more parts then just thos in children of the earth then wouldn't there be more then on captain jack?
you idiot this is stupid and you made no sence, jack harkness was blown up when the core of torchwood was taken out by a bomb that was insurted into his belly, and still came out looking good as new. So wtf do you think oil and fire will do....
Jack cannot be the Face of Boe. The Face of Boe got his name by being "The Face of the Boeshan Peninsula." Jack says people called him "The Face of Boe." The Face of Boe is a future celebrity...known since the "Dawn of time." It's possible Jack becomes the Face of Boe, teleports back to the dawn of life ....and becomes famous...then gets a nickname he became himself later on..I can totally see that. ....Jack was nicknamed The Face of Boe...meaning he was nicknamed off a celebrity
it was on this torchwood thing the hq got blown up an he was inside so all his body parts were blown to pieces but then they were all put together and his body grew back so i ges he really can never die- unlucky...
I think its safe to assume the whole Jack Harkness/Face of Boe is something that shouldnt have happened. It was bad writing. RTD just had a whim and thoght 'this would be cool' without thinking it through properly. There are actually episodes (utopia) where they mention the name 'face of boe' in front of Jack and he has no reaction... Bad planning and editing on the part of RTD... The other Producers hated the whole idea its one reason RTD was forced to leave the show.
Why *would* Jack react to the name 'face of Boe'? He's got no reason to recognize it. Not if someone mentioned 'Captain Jack' in front of *Boe* and *Boe* reacts, that would actually mean something.
well the oil thing is explained in torchwood children of earth when Jakc is caught in the explosion and his skelton gorws then his muscels then his skin. He is reborn sort of!
His body ages slowly, but he can't die. So the aging beomes a bloody mutation and it decomposes his body and makes him a gigantic head. Also, when I first saw the Face of Boe I thought "A Message From the Big Giant Head." Just saying.
jjgiblit is right. all that was left was an arm and tiny bits of fresh. It took a while but he did regenerate into himself again. Also he says he found a grey hair in children of earth pointing to he can age. In the episode where the master takes over earth, he ages the docter to the paoint that he cannot regenerate. he ended up looking a lot like some sort of goblin. so say this happens to jack, and after millions of years of bone decay and muscle deteriration, thats what he would look like.
That was a good theory, especailly as you thought it up before CoE so you wouldn't know he would recover in the same body. That gridlock episode is that little bit more sad now you know its jack.
yeah, I always wanted him to be YOUNG(-looking) forever.
but one question, I really don't get how aging, though billions of years, I'm sure, must make an impact on your body, can reduce your other body parts to nothing and convert you into a big fat face.
ahh no he didnt go into a boe body he said in dr who season 3 ep 13 that he keeps getting older. over his 5,000,000,000 years he turns into the face of boe
he couldn't die because the tardis energy made him a fixed point in time. but obviously he became wiser as the face of boe and realised how to release the energy in Gridlock season 3.
Thing is he was blown up in one of the last torchwood episodes and his body just grew back from a head an arm and something else that i can't remember!
in the new one he gets blown apart by a bomb in his cest and thown into a bady bag.the body bag moves inside in now a sceleton.he wakes up as a zombie.then normal jack.then he gets encarserated in cement and thrown of a clif and he wakes up so dont think fire would kill him
omg isnt it obvious how he becomes the face of boe? The face of boe exists billions of years in the future so think about it u no how old people r all shriveled up wen theyre about 80 well in the last episode of series 3 jack says that he finds the odd grey hair evry now & again well even though he ages much slower than humans he still ages so imagine wat would happen after biilion of years wouldnt u think hed look a bit wierd maybe like a giant face?!
Not a personal attack at you MerlinTorchHoodWho but I hate it when people use the default text screen on WMM. I mean come on it only takes 10 seconds to change the background colour.
but then again i think it could be jack because on the episode of dr who the long game it says the face of boe was pregnant and on the episode of torchwood everything changes while lookin over the first body jack says bout contraceptives in the rain then he talks about getting pregnant then says ill never do that again
russell.t.davies just said that they put that reference in to boggle people but it could be him but one problem is jack is human his whole species is human and boe looks like an alien i think boe coud be gray
@nathand3 No, in the Last Of The Time Lords, episode 13 of season three of Doctor Who, in the end of that episode Captain Jack says that the people from where he lived called him the Face of Boe because he was the first to sign up for the time agency.

And if you watched afterwards,(i.e. the children of earth) you will see where they gathered the parts of Jack together and he reformed, and was just fine (generally speaking)

Well think back to when the Master made the Doctor age to match his true age without the regeneration cycles, 900 years turned him into something that didn't really resemble a typical human or timelord.(also note his large proportioned head) So in that context it makes sense for 5 billion yrs to become something that looks non-human, and also consider hes not subject to normal wear and tear since he resets rather than regenerate, so he wouldn't age the same way as a human, wrinkles and such

Also, if you remember, David Tennant series, Season 3 (when he brings Martha to New New york, Episode: Rush Hour), the face of boe dies, having used his last bit of energy. So it was kinda moot point for Jack to claim he was called the Face Of Boe..

Can I just say in defence of MerlinTorchHoodWho, this video was done BEFORE Children Of Earth was shown. I noticed a few people using that as a reason why this video is pretty much no longer a possible reason so I thought I'd mention it just in case people didn't see when the video was uploaded. =]

power of jack living for ever must end too however the doctor knowing this and in order for the timelines to not change captain jack must stay alive and inorder to do that he puts him in that tank thingy or captain jack changes his apperance completley to prevent a time paradox from accuring

well my theory is that the power of everlasting life was given to captain jack by

@ZillasElite ..I did watch the whole Doctor Who and Torchwood series.But it doesn't make any sense to me.When he was blown up to pieces Jack grew arms,legs,everything.. so how would he be left with only a head...Not to mention that in DW's episode 7 season 1 is said that the face of boe is pregnant.Now not only Jack's body miraculously disappears but he becomes hermaphrodite too? oh, please,like that makes sense.

dawgghogg111 1 year ago
@dawgghogg111 Even with infinite time, an individual can't evolve. Evolution occurs in a species when an individual of the population is born with a random mutation that coincidentally makes that individual more likely to survive and reproduce. The population evolves because its members compete for survival, and only the "fittest" get the chance to pass on their genes to the next generation. None of this can happen in an individual.

Your wrong...captain jack is the face of boe, the actor himself confirmed it at a comic-con.

Russell T Davies, in the episode's commentary, called the implication of this scene "a theory."
Also, I heard some where that The Face of Boe had like six kids or something, each living only to 40, the average life-span of the species. Whether that was either true or canon, I don't know.

Jack cannot be the Face of Boe. The Face of Boe got his name by being "The Face of the Boeshan Peninsula." Jack says people called him "The Face of Boe." The Face of Boe is a future celebrity...known since the "Dawn of time." It's possible Jack becomes the Face of Boe, teleports back to the dawn of life ....and becomes famous...then gets a nickname he became himself later on..I can totally see that. ....Jack was nicknamed The Face of Boe...meaning he was nicknamed off a celebrity

I think its safe to assume the whole Jack Harkness/Face of Boe is something that shouldnt have happened. It was bad writing. RTD just had a whim and thoght 'this would be cool' without thinking it through properly. There are actually episodes (utopia) where they mention the name 'face of boe' in front of Jack and he has no reaction... Bad planning and editing on the part of RTD... The other Producers hated the whole idea its one reason RTD was forced to leave the show.

Why *would* Jack react to the name 'face of Boe'? He's got no reason to recognize it. Not if someone mentioned 'Captain Jack' in front of *Boe* and *Boe* reacts, that would actually mean something.

His body ages slowly, but he can't die. So the aging beomes a bloody mutation and it decomposes his body and makes him a gigantic head. Also, when I first saw the Face of Boe I thought "A Message From the Big Giant Head." Just saying.
drgonlite 2 years ago 2
jjgiblit is right. all that was left was an arm and tiny bits of fresh. It took a while but he did regenerate into himself again. Also he says he found a grey hair in children of earth pointing to he can age. In the episode where the master takes over earth, he ages the docter to the paoint that he cannot regenerate. he ended up looking a lot like some sort of goblin. so say this happens to jack, and after millions of years of bone decay and muscle deteriration, thats what he would look like.

That was a good theory, especailly as you thought it up before CoE so you wouldn't know he would recover in the same body. That gridlock episode is that little bit more sad now you know its jack.

but one question, I really don't get how aging, though billions of years, I'm sure, must make an impact on your body, can reduce your other body parts to nothing and convert you into a big fat face.
