Combat query

[amythest_n_ice]

I was watching Combat again last night (my DVD's have only just arrived, growl), and I saw, or thought I saw, something odd.

When the muppet who had been running the fight club thing stepped into the cage at the end of the episode, Jack was pointing his gun at the Weevil. Now, it may have been my overactive imagination, but it looked to me like he lowered his gun, the Weevil stayed where it was watching Jack as well as the bloke. It didn't move until Jack inclined his head slightly in the bloke's direction, either instructing it, or giving it permission, to attack. Then when the camera cut back to Jack's face, there was this look of, kind of, satisfaction.

Is there a possibility that Jack is better able to communicate with/understand Weevils on the telepathic or emapthic wavelength they seem to posess than he wants to let on to his team?

It wouldn't be the first time, would it?

I think it was just Janet.

I think that if there is anyone on the Torchwood team who is truly psychic, it's Gwen.

I do think though that Jack is intelligent, perceptive, and good at non-verbal communication. He knew what Janet was thinking and what was about to happen. I think Janet looked to him as her packleader. (I'm making an analogy here, not an assumption about Weevil culture.)

I think we're all overemphasizing the telepathy angle. REgrdless of telepathy, the Weevils communicate by body language. Jack's body language was very clear.

Gah! For some reason the font for your reply box is too tiny to see. Apologies for any spelling errors, but I have no clue what the letters are.

I don't think Gwen is psychic, I just think she's a nosey cow. Coppers are supposedly good at picking up subtle clues.

- she saw the fairies out of the corner of her eye, when others didn't. I kinda got the impression that Jack had seen them previously

- she could perceive Eugene's ghost, though not clearly. He had a crush on her, he was totally focused on her, maybe that was more him than her.

- she looks like Gwyneth. Pass, never saw that episode,

- she makes good intuitive guesses, e.g., that Jack knew Estelle in 1944. She saw the photo's in Estelle's living room, and already doubted that it was Jack's father. Him upset over Estelle just confirmed her suspicions.


On an entirely unconnected note, I have no idea why my reply box/text have shrunk so much. Anyone have a clue how I can fix it?

I assumed it was due to the weevil being Janet, and having been dominated (in a pack sense, not a sex sense...!!!) by Jack. This is why I also think Owen was pissed at Jack because Owen thought he too could control Janet.

Your textbox problem is in your stylesheet. I haven't got all my web tools loaded on this version of Firefox, so I can't tell you exactly what the problem is though.

TARDIS translator still working? After all, he is kind of connected to it as well.
