One of the most interesting things that could come up in this series is if Jack actually has to make a choice - die now or go back to being immortal. My gut feeling is that if he has a choice of remaining mortal, or going down fighting, he might very well choose that. But if it's the reverse - die now, and let the world go to hell, he might wind up immortal again. There's so much that could be done with this. I hope it doesn't just get passed over.
>> Jack is now mortal <<
Just curious about something here. I don't actually see any reason for the characters in the story to assume that Jack is mortal now. Yes, his trademark immortality/healing is gone, but there's no proof that he's not just like everyone else now (i.e. undying). Jack assumes it, and everyone goes along, but unless he actually dies (or doesn't), there's no way to know. I've raised this in a couple of places, so I hope it's OK that I did it again, but I wonder what your thoughts are.
