twincityhackerJack is shown to have died five times in cannon, and there is a sixth implied. He's shot twice by his team mates, electrocuted twice by Lisa, was drained of life force by Abbadon, and either died or came close to it when he stayed with John in the car.
What's remarkable is that all of the cannon deaths are either the result of a fuck-up by his team or someone on the team shooting him. When it's an outside threat that didn't come about from Torchwood he's not only fine but the one least likely to be captured or injured.
The only anomaly is the near-suicide with John.
With this in mind, some of Jack's seemingly instant forgiveness makes more sense. If you think that the person that you work with is going to betray you, it's a lot more easier to forgive them when they finally do so. Of course, where this leaves Owen's firing in End of Days, I don't know.
