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 he said something like "It's fantastic"

I thought he said something describing the species - how they used these eyes to see what was behind them or what was coming. Something like that. (I love the way Jack knows so much - whatever he needs to!)

I agree that Jack uses Gwen as his conscience, at least sometimes. I'm not sure that's enough to warrant her inclusion in Torchwood, but it'll do.
