No, you're fine... I'm just kind of gobsmacked at how brilliant it is and mumbling to myself...
I mean really - I think this is an important undercurrent for Jack and more importantly, a potential new facet to his relationship with the Doctor when they meet again. I just really, really never thought of it. Wow!
There's that look on Jack's face in Dr. Who at the end... When he tried to catch the TARDIS and doesn't make it in time... This look of, "Oh, damn... I was having so much fun with them - What a nuisance." But you know he's not concerened with getting of the satellite or moving on with his life - It's about the sadness that something really great has ended just a little sooner than you wanted it to.
So this is amazing! That Jack would have a touchstone in Torchwood to "feel" his loss of that friendship/moment/whatever. And when he meets the Doctor again, they will have another level of bonding - or tension, if Jack feels resentful or vengeful about it.
