How can jack be the face of boe

The couple are happily married and on the run from a war hungry Sontaran. Martha also went on to marry Mickey Smith, and the two broke out on their own to become alien fighters despite having ties to Torchwood from two different Earths. She encountered the Doctor again before he regenerated, saving her life one more time. She went back to her superficial life without any memory of what she had accomplished. When the Doctor returns, Amy is nineteen years old and working as a kissogram. She helps him save Earth from the galactic police force, the Atraxi, and when he returns two years later she begins travelling with him as his companion.

Jack Harkness is played by the rakishly good-looking John Barrowman, but it is possible that over billions of years, Jack evolved into a different kind of being.

Jack's ponderance is a conjecture of what he'd look like if he reached around the age of 1,, At the time of the episode, he was about 2, years old due to periods of being buried alive in "Exit Wounds" and then frozen an additional years.

As of today, he'd be about 2, give or take some overlaps in his timeline. Davies said that it would be entirely realistic for Harkness to look like Boe in 5 billion years after his nose and ears keep growing due to age.

Enormous alterations are possible in all that time, and for the immortal traveler, this is how those changes manifest. As to why the Face of Boe has a British accent where Jack Harkness's is American remains a mystery, as does how Jack lost the rest of his body. With Jack's hypothesis of evolution happening around 1,, years and viewers first seeing the Face of Boe in "The End of the World," 5,,, years in the future, the final change probably happened somewhere between those two points.

How and where he lost his body is up for discussion, but two in-universe explanations seem to be tied together.
