I'M WORKING ON IT...

[tencrush]

Just rewatching some episodes to get some inspiration re. Ianto and what I am now calling his alpha-in-training-ness. Wow. He is the weirdest character, dudes. He's never on screen, he's always physically reserved and he doesn't say much, but when he does he COMMANDS attention, it's way more blatant than I thought it would be.

But anyway, I'm getting a bit distracted, so I'll just post random things in the meantime.

Watch this scene from Day One again.
"None of you have partners?" says Gwen. And LOOK! Jack was totally going to say something and then he shuts his mouth and changes his mind.



He's so doing the teaboy already at this point in time.

'Now I wasn't quite sure whether Chibnall was praising GDL's performance as he cried, or he was saying it had been GDL's idea to cry. If the latter, that's a really scary thought -- the crying made that flashback!'
Oh yes, take out that crying scene and the whole flashback is completely different.

Here's what was said in the article '...Gareth [David-Lloyd] added a wonderful depth to it, when, unseen by Jack, he starts to cry at the end.' Magazine Article

I always took that to mean that Gareth improvised the crying. It wouldn't surprise me, he seems to really 'get' Ianto as a character even when the writers don't.

Oh great! Thanks for the link!

And no, it doesn't surprise me that GDL is so on top of things. I sometimes think he's single-handedly holding Torchwood together, LOL.

Yeah, if he ever leaves the show they are in sooo much trouble.
