Why this vid kicks ass:

Jack in Torchwood is a man held prisoner by one moment in time. He doesn't really know for sure what happened on the Game Station but he knows enough. He knows they left him, he doesn't seem to know why, he has no explanation for what's happened to him and he knows the Doctor is still showing up (as evidenced by his little Doctor!Memorabilia collection)...he's got a thousand different questions and a thousand more get added with each passing day and he can't tell the others. jedi_of_urth weaves Torchwood scenes with Doctor Who scenes masterfully in the video to highlight just how ever present Jack's feelings for the Doctor (and Rose) are even when he's trying to do his job with Torchwood. With the episodes, we can get lost in the story of all of them and be side-tracked by Ianto's issues, Owen's, Gwen's, Tosh's...whoever and forget that underneath it all, Jack still has this going on and no way to really resolve it. The video is the best job of emphasizing that I've seen yet. It ties the team, the Doctor and Rose into Jack with absolutely beautiful work.

The video is hosted by anr on dot.net hosting as a part of a recent competition. You can find it under Competitions -> Music Videos -> Participants and my thanks to ness for giving me permission to post the rec.
