Obvious insight is obvious.

Torchwood was always Jack's story. (And the story of Jack's people.)

Miracle Day isn't. It's just a story that happens to have Jack in it.

(He might be pivotal to events, but so far? It's not his story. Not even close. And hey, that's fair enough, it's Rusty's show, he can do what he wants. Although it does please me how (as always) I can see him as a mirror to Buffy: 'Oh, poor little lost girl boy. She He doesn't fit in anywhere. She's He's got no one to love.')

I would have said it was Gwen's story too; Jack seemed mostly a bridge between Doctor Who and the new show. Yet CoE chnaged the game and it became Jack's story.

That said, given that I am not very fond of Jack, I may talk out of prejudice.

Lol--I like him fine, but I don't mind him being backgrounded either. I think there was definitely a long, slow transition from Jack being the *object* of TW to him being the *subject*. And I'm not quite sure which he is now.
