Great meta! I thought that scene was really well played and you got to the heart of why - it's forgiveness and permission to move on. Thank you! It quite literally wouldn't leave me alone until I'd written it down.
And I think the same thing - I'm more optimistic about TW Season 4 now, since I wasn't that in love with Jack running away even though I understood why he did it. *nods* Even if this scene is all we get, then at least it is a bridge of sorts, showing the beginning of the process of healing.
I felt like CoE was a good ending - and fit so perfectly with the theme of the series: you don't leave Torchwood until you die. Oh yes - CoE was the perfect ending. I'm still not sure *now* they'll resurrect it, although I'll look on it more as a regeneration than a continuation (if that makes sense).
But a new series of TW would be interesting with a somewhat healed Jack... and Gwen in charge! Hmmm. We'll have to wait and see...
And a guest spot for Alonso would be awesome :D He could come in and save the day! :)
