"There aren't many Torchwood branch commanders and above left to tell Jack what to do, and I got the impression that TW always valued results over methods."
No, & with there apparently having only been four branches to begin with, there never were. We only have what we've seen of the Cardiff & London branches to infer how TW is organized--& what we've seen is certainly intriguing: TW commanders are apparently sufficiently powerful to take the Prime Minister of Britain to task. As to TW valuing results over methods, I have to wonder who's doing the evaluating & what criteria are used to judge success or failure.
"That was Soldier Jack, not Emperor Jack..."
You're right; thanks for clarifying the context. Though I don't doubt that if Jack thought that the Imperial form was necessary, he'd put on the crown.
What a very intriguing subject you've introduced; I hope you've cross-posted in a lot of places.
