I love this very, very much. I love the exploration of Tosh's experiences with UNIT and the way she deals with it.

Thank you. Also, she's on their territory, not the other way around, so I feel that in the Hub she'd be more confident

this makes a lot of sense something the writers,aha, sometimes forgot when going back and forth with between who and torchwood including classic who canon.

Thank you. :)
I'm willing to cut the AoL/WW3 writers some slack, because the odds that Naoko Mori had been cast as Tosh at that point; Tosh as a character even existed; and that they had even fleshed out Tosh's background as a UNIT prisoner are so small (based on continuity in Torchwood being laughable, normally). But yeah, I think the writers of Fragments totally forgot about this ep.

Awww, great!

The Doctor! Oh, I bet Jack would have been freaked out to have missed him.

His knowing what to say about the UNIT people swarming around is sweetly perfect.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked. I love the Jack/Tosh relationship.

I personally think that Jack knew that the Doctor was going to be there (from Rose), but purposely sent Owen because A. he couldn't go himself (timelines), and Owen being a doctor was the next best choice, and B. he didn't know exactly what happened, and he wanted to make sure Torchwood One didn't show. Unfortunately, there was a word maximum... :( Maybe I'll do a sequel...

Wonderful. I adore Jack's phone call. And that last line is vintage Tosh. :-)

Yay, thank you! I'm glad the character's voices came across well :D
