Disclaimer: The sandbox belongs to RTD and the BBC. I'm just playing here, in the corner, making little sand-TARDISs.

 

It’s the best job ever.  Lots of chances for fun, just don’t touch the Master’s pets.  Put a finger on the old guy – you die.  The Freak is invitation-only.  I’d love to watch a session.  Techs are all off-limits.  Pity.  Turner in engineering looks like a poof who’d jump if you gave him a hard look.  We can’t even talk to the admin staff.  There’s one real hottie --  snobby university bitch, but I bet I could make her moan.  Maybe she’ll make a mistake, piss ’im off.  A bloke can dream, yeah? 

Nobody calls Jimmy Stone a loser now.

That depends on who winds up dealing with him. If it's UNIT, disposing of one of the Master's junior thugs... just prison and retcon.

If it's the Doctor... he might be too emotionally weary to do anything other than toss the little bastard to UNIT. (See above).

If it's Jack... I don't want to think about that. If he discovers that the Master's sadist-in-training is also the delinquent who messed up Rose's life... burial alive? Pteranodon kibble? Weevil bait?

What did Jimmy Stone do to Rose?

What did Jimmy Stone do to Rose?

We don't know. He's mentioned briefly in the first episode of Series One of the new Doctor Who. Rose is talking to Mickey about her job prospects, and she says, "I dunno. It's all Jimmy Stone's fault. I only left school because of him, and look where he ended up."

That's most of what we know. RTD wrote a background article about Rose's life, and said that he was a 20-year old musician, she went to live with him, and when she broke up with him, she came home unhappy and in debt.

Entire fics have been written (by other people) about Jimmy Stone. Some speculate that he was physically and/or emotionally abusive to Rose; that he had a drug habit; that he had some kind of criminal career.

The one thing we can be sure of is that Jimmy Stone was Not a Nice Boy.

I think burial alive. Jack doesn't have the time to watch the guy get torn limb from limb as weevil bait.

Jack has the time for anything -- for everything.

My other idea was to lock Jimmy into TW's cold storage alive.

Might as well shoot him in the head, and save the trouble of carting him to Cardiff. From what I've read, freezing to death is one of the easier ways to go. You just start to drift off to sleep.

Also, though Jack is certainly capable of abusing his Torchwood authority for personal reasons, I don't see it happening in this case. As I think I said in another comment, he'd probably just beat the SOB to a bloody pulp before turning him over for retcon and prison.
