How is Captain Jack the Face of Boe?
Ok so I know he says at the end of series (season) 3 of the show that his nick name was the face of boe, implying that he is the same Face that we watched die. However, how is this possible? Last we saw jack he was a full person. The Face of Boe is a head. A giant alien head. So how is this explained? If it is jack how does he even get like that? (By the way I don't watch touchwood so if it happened in touchwood or was at least explained in it please let me know)

<<So how is this explained?>>
it's never been explained, and probably never will be. it's just a fun thing for fans to notice and use their imaginations.

Writer Russell T Davies, in the episode's commentary, called the implication of this scene "a theory" as to the Face of Boe's origins, prompting Executive Producer Julie Gardner to urge him to "stop back-pedaling" about the two characters being the same. Davies also said that after writing the scene he inserted a line in the ADR recording for "Gridlock" in which the Face of Boe calls the Doctor "old friend".
However, Davies does not like making the relationship between Jack and Boe explicit, stating "the moment it became very true or very false, the joke dies". He has refused the publication of spin-off novels and comic books that have tried to definitively link the two.
