Casual reminder that Jack spent 1874 years buried beneath Cardiff.
1874 years.
Presuming that it takes him four minutes to be revived each time he dies of things which don’t require his entire body to re-grow itself (based on how long it took for him to revive after Suzie shot him), and that it takes six minutes for him to suffocate (brain death occurs roughly four minutes after loss of consciousness), he dies 52 595 times per year.
That means he died 98 563 030 times while buried underneath Cardiff.
People do NOT give this character enough credit. They look at him and they’re like “LOL he makes innuendos and fucks people” and think that’s the extent of his character. But he’s been through so much shit, and he has so much more depth than people give him credit for. He’s so fucking brave, and he’s one of my favorite characters of all time.
If by “Casual Reminder” you mean “hey, see these? these are your feels… *proceeds to stab them, douse them in acid, blow them up, and then ship them into the sun” yea, I’d say that’s pretty accurate.
Also he knows how to torture, was taught to be a soldier, lost a best friend and a brother. And yet even when pulling a con in the middle of the London Blitz he never meant to hurt anyone.He was willing to give his life, and did so, only to be rejected by the one he gave his life for. He endured a year of God knows what at the hands of the Master and was still together enough to fight at the end of it.
And if he is the Face of Boe he gives the end of his life to save people again.
And, despite everything. He’s still at the end of the day, a human. Never built for the long life of a timelord, he’s just had no other choice but to adapt to what he never asked for.
