That thing? In the episode?

So, I've been venting to natlyn for the last half hour about the utter impossibility of remaining sane after being buried alive for 1,874 years. So the only fix I can think of will now become my personal canon.

My personal canon? The Doctor finds out about Jack being buried alive: unburies him a week or so after he's buried, they adventure around space and time for a bit, and then reburies him in time for the 1901 Torchwood to dig him up, thus preserving the timeline.

I like the staying dead theory, but I also really like the Doctor theory. I mean, that would make perfect sense. The Doctor's always bumming around Earth, so at some point the TARDIS is sure to pick up on that signal from the ring. And then the Doctor would be like, hm, that doesn't belong in 27 CE, let's take a look. And then he'd dig up Jack and be like, oh, I should've known it was you. If you wanted a date, you could've just called.

*giggles* Yes, exactly. And after all, Jack is the Doctor's responsibility. Is canon!
