Howling:Rex is Immortal

So, does anyone have any guesses as to how Rex gained Jack's immortality? A blood transfusion can't be enough to turn Rex into a fixed point in space and time. As Jack said in The Gathering, there is nothing special about his blood in and of itsself. Since Gwen was wondering why the Blessing had allowed Esther to die right before Rex was shot, the Blessing must be involved somehow. Either it was thanking Rex for giving it mortal blood, or it assumed that Rex was supposed to be immortal since he had Jack's blood.Icecreamdif 17:38, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

I think it's supposed to be the latter, since everything it did was based on blood. They probably won't ever make it more explicit than that, but it's always possible that in a new series of Torchwood novels or series 5 of the show, Rex will ask Jack what happened and Jack will give him some kind of half-comprehensible technobabble explanation. --173.228.85.35 20:52, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
