Torchwood 3x04 reaction post

Just one teeny weenie little thing:

What happened to the glowy kiss of life?

Okay, I lied one more thing, 5 more words:

Alice continued to be awesome.

hmmm, that's a decent explanation. Sort of like- it only works if there is X amount of life left to spark?

Injured/traumatised, but not to the point of dying? Yeah, that works. And could work right alongside my theory too.

yep- both theories work. I do wish tptb would put a little more thought into how Jack's power works- sometimes there is the OMG I'm alive gasp, sometimes not, sometimes he's completely bodily healed before reanimating, sometimes not. But oh well. That's what fanon and fanfic are for!

I think Ianto was electrocuted back in Cyberwoman? It's been a while since I've seen it. So he was 'dead'. Heart stopped, I would guess. But with luck and treatment with ordinary medical science he could have been saved, with a set of paddles or CPR. Jack restarted his heart, basically. Such is my theory.

This time the virus would have just kept eating at him.
