Torchwood: Miracle Day, ep7
What did Jack actually mean when he said "you kill me"? Did he mean it literally or did he mean this in the sense of it kills me inside because everyone dies and I have to go on? I've read other reviews, but so far I haven't seen it discussed in any.
When they are on the roof Angelo says to Jack something like "you get lonely too. you wanted to come back". I find this really really sad, because Jack really tried and wanted this, but it just wasn't meant for him.
Jack says to Angelo that he came back to him and that he's never done this before. This means that when he said that to Ianto it was Jack's way of saying 'I'm falling in love with you.' Jack tried again with Ianto and we know how it ended. It's all way too heartbreaking.
Jack tackling Angelo to the ground must have been a reference to Ianto too. In any case, it works as a reference for me. I know people are wondering how this flashback works into Jack's timeline. Since I'm an idiot in regard to anything related to Jack's timeline I'm just thinking the flashback happened anytime before the Torchwood I know.
I read a review of someone who hasn't seen any previous seasons of TW and this love story didn't resonate with her at all; maybe you need to know the Jack of later to have this episode resonate with you on a deeper level.
I think the best way sometimes is not to think too hard about things. Why was Gwen so sure that they would want to kill Jack? They didn't ever say this, or did they? It doesn't make sense that they would want to kill Jack, when Angelo appears to have waited for Jack so long. On the other hand someone (the triangle people?) wanted to kill Jack in the plane? Why? Then we had the other guy from the server room at PhiCorp who also wanted something from Jack, but I have no idea how this makes any sense.
When they lie in bed Angelo says to Jack "the other part. yes. this part. no." This was so cute. Also Jack apologizes so nicely.

I brace myself for a really bad, disappointing, unsatisfying, ridiculous end; MD wouldn't be the first TV series to have that. They build up the anticipation and then the end often makes no sense. But it should be at least spectacular, yeah?
