Talk:Face of Boe

I don't get how Captain Jack could be the Face of Boe. Like it says in this article, he mentions the Face of Boe, so therefore he must know about him. Also, he later says that he had the nickname, "The Face of Boe". But for some reason he doesn't realize this connection and realize that he is going to become the Face of Boe. How is this?? Is it just bad continuity?


 * He never mentions the Face of Boe, he also never meets him. (The Face of Boe appear in The End of the World, on a screen in The Long Game, New Earth and Gridlock) none of those stories feature Captain Jack. --Tangerineduel 05:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, since Jack is immortal, millions of years in the future he probably just evolves into a massive head (similar to the Doctor turning into a small creature in Last of the Time Lords), then Jack somehow travels back to the Dark Times and stays, naming himself the Face of Boe, after his childhood.

 * When talking about FoB, no one has ever said he's from the 'Dark Times' have they, just that he's been around for a while. It's most likely possible that he will live to be the FoB while his 'past self' is running around being a time agent. --Tangerineduel 14:44, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

boe IS jack
i know there have been other discussions about this but i now have proof that boe IS jack (i think) boe dies in the year 5 billion and 53 (or some time near that) BUT he knows about yana who exists in the year something TRILLION, a bit more than a billion, so how else could boe know about yana unless he is actually jack and also i think its very unlikely the doctorwho writers will throw in a wild gosse chase about a charecter we are probably never going to see again81.108.233.59 18:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily.


 * 1) Perhaps the Master got the idea from the Face of Boe. At some point in the Master's life, before he decided to hide in the far future, he could have met the Face of Boe. If the Face of Boe also knew about the Doctor at that point in time, he might mention on how the Master is not alone. Perhaps the Master then took the the name Yana subconsciously (or just to screw with the Doctor's mind).
 * 2) Perhaps the Face of Boe got it from the Doctor. Maybe the Doctor will later meet the Face of Boe before he died. Seeing that the Face of Boe believed that the Doctor was alone, he could mention the fact in order to complete the time loop.
 * 3) Perhaps it's a coincidence. The Doctor could just be drawing connections where he shouldn't. When you time travel for hundreds of years, you bound to find connections all over the place.
 * If you give me enough time, I could probably work out some other ways why the proof isn't definitive. -
