I really would like to know what happened to Jack between when Rose brought him back to life in the last episode of Dr. Who Season 1 and when Torchwood began, if only to find out why he suddenly lost his sense of humor.
You will find out more about that. Mostly that a lot of really bad things happened to him. And his sense of humour comes back a but in series 2, though ... not conistently. (Inconsistency of characterization is IMHO the worst aspect of the show.)
I didn't realize that the Doctor's name wasn't Dr. Who (you know, like the Madeleine L'Engle character Mrs. Who), but just the Doctor until I saw the last couple of episodes.
I liked the discussions of that with Rose in "The Empty Child" where she said something like, "you don't have a name! Don't you ever get tired of 'Doctor'? Doctor who?" and the Doctor said, "Nine centuries in, I'm coping."
