Yes!! I thought I was the only one who saw it like that! *grins* I remember it specifically because I was at the time busy plotting my Jack-is-The-Immortal fic ('The Immortal' from TGiQ - Angel's 'archnemisis' and Buffy's new boyfriend!), and trying to fill in that missing century, and wondering how and when and *why* Jack became involved with Torchwood, and how I could fit my story in around that were all v. important. And then the show went and gave me all the answers I could want and more besides. Both S1 and S2 made so much more sense. :)
You're right, and I phrased it badly. And I replied way too early in the morning!
What I meant was the step from thinking of himself on some level as the (mostly) good guy in (mostly) bad organisation he'd been (mostly) forced to join against his will, to realising that the century spent there left its traces. *nods* Yes, very much so - and that last scene, where he takes responsibility for everything shows that very clearly.
