If aliens were going to destroy the Earth unless you gave them 10% of the Earth's children, would you?

P.S. Jack Harkness is a bastard.

They wanted the children because of the 'chemicals' they produced. Children were the aliens 'heroin', they were essentially main-lining them.

Thanks. I missed a crucial 10 minutes when my mom called.

So what would you have done?

When I'm watching something good like Torchwood or Dr.Who, I usually let my phone go to voice mail. I know, I'm wicked

Jack's too much the hero to run away.

I think I see him more as a loner thief who was drafted as a hero, and tries to live up to the job description. I didn't like the note the show ended on, but it seemed very much in character to me.

I think Jack grew into the role of Hero, and if the show does come back. I hope he comes back in a big way and 'redeems' himself. I really love that show.
