Why couldn't Jack return home?

So he loses the injection that will send him home. So what? They can send stuff back, they sent him a couple of boxes including the original injector, and an extra long-minute watch. When he doens't return they would probably send McNulty back to see what's wrong, he would report that Jack lost the injector, and they'd send him a new one. Instead he's just stuck forever? Worse that in the actual Trancers II they decided to bring him home with a riduclously complicated timeline wrecking plan.

Its not so much he was trapped, as he decided to stay in the past to be with Lena. And he wasn't brought back to the future until TRANCERS III with the TCL Chamber. Possible it may have screwed up the timeline, not sure how or what would happen, but Jack and Lena already reproduced at that point so it's not like Jack would cease to exist. His ancestry has gone un-changed.

Jo from 3 and 6 is his daughter.

Well I haven't seen part 3 yet, but in part 2 they had every intention of taking Phil Deth into the future with the TCL chamber before he reproduced. They never really even referred to him as Phil, they referred to him as "Jack's new body." Whatever happened to poor Phil? They did however take Alice's ancestor out of the past in Part 2, had she already reproduced?

Clearly thr writers never thought that through.

Whatever happened to poor Phil?

His brain's on hold. So he could've one day woke up years in the future only thinking it was seconds after he was intended to shave the morning after heaving sex with Lena in 1985.
