Doctor Boy

The little girl in #4 had curly red hair and a thin face. She was old enough to go to school, but didn't. She always talked softly. Owen, at an age to be impressionable, was fascinated.

Owen thought she'd moved away, because he never saw her any more. Then he heard the grown-ups talking: "so very sad," they said. He realized she had died. "The doctors couldn't do a thing."

Owen decided then and there to grow be a doctor someday, and not just any kind of doctor. He was going to be the kind of doctor who saved people.

Fragments"? I haven't seen it yet; I'll look forward to it.

Series two, episode 12. We see how everyone, including Jack, came to be in Torchwood.

Owen talking about himself always came across with the most intense and purest honesty imaginable

Owen is very honest in "Fragments". In truth, I have trouble reconciling the Owen of Fragments with the Owen we've always known. I don't think the one person could become the other, or at least, not so fast.

But that's okay. I'm working on it.

"Owen, at an age to be fascinated by boys"? Either one!

Absolutely!
