I misspoke; it was exactly from Buffy in a previous ep when they did the
exact Angel gag with Owen.

No, I thought it was kind of cool, but when they showed the outside, it
just looked like a regualar flat.

You came up with that; the show didn't. Nobody said anything about them
dying. And these weren't home movies. Nobody was shooting home movies
on 35mm 80 years ago. If they exist on all these other copies, why did
Jack overexposing his new copy matter? Now, burning the original copy
they came out of, maybe. Of course, Jack had that back at Torchwood.

THEIR BREATHS ARE IN THE FLASK, WHICH MEANS ---- YES, WE CAN SAVE THEM!
They don't know that.
Oh, yeah, all this "the fact that they're alive must mean there's a
lifeforce out there" - Jack was spouting nonsense the entire show.
And how about "he just accidentaly happens to say the magic 'they came
out of the rain' line THAT HE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING in front of the only
nurse in the universe who happened to know it and immediately blabbed
the entire backstory on the little girl to him. Pretty handy
coincidence. And it's not like 'they came out of the rain' is so
cosmically signifcant that it would stun somebody. It's not like he
recited the numbers from LOST.
