Davies Reveals “Torchwood” Twist

Davies Reveals “Torchwood” Twist

June 7, 2011 By Michael Hickerson 3 Comments

Hot on the news that actress Eliza Dushku will lend her voice to the upcoming motion comic series for Torchwood: Miracle Day, producer Russell T. Davies has revealed a twist for the upcoming season.

If you don’t want to know what it is, please stop reading now.  It’s a SPOILER….

Saying that he wants to shake up things a bit for the characters in series four, Davies revealed that the upcoming season will find Captain Jack Harkness becoming mortal again.

“The greatest thing you can do is offer a new look into the character. It’s not fundamentally altering the character, it’s fundamentally altering the rules [while] the character stays the same,” Davies tells AOL TV.

He hinted that Captain Jack’s new condition will be linked to the premise of Miracle Day, which sees the entire populace of Earth unable to die.

“Everyone else is immortal, [and] he’s mortal,” he says. “It’s the biggest switch in the show, which we did in order to give us new insights into Jack.”

Davies added that he “couldn’t possibly say” if Jack will be killed off in a future episode.

“The stakes are that high,” he admitted. “And it’s very hard to prove he’s mortal without killing him, so that’s going to be interesting.”

    Been a while but didn’t he get shot in the forehead in the pilot and come back to life showing that the hole in his forehead had closed…seems like to me all they’d have to do is show he can’t heal anymore(not necessarily kill him).

    As for the twist…I hope they go back to him being immortal after they fix everyone else…how else will the face of Boe be around in the future for the Doctor…let’s keep the continuity.

    OK. If Jack gets killed, it really screws with Doctor Who timelines. Really, that cannot happen, so I am interested in finding out how they determine his mortality.

    Well if this is indeed the case then it will prove that Jack is NOT The Face of Bo as had been hinted at in a past Doctor Who episode…

    Leave it to RTD to mess up a good thing…
