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.

WORD. Best example of this, imo, when he's serving tea in Small Worlds, after he serves Jack, you only see his hand moving the cups, you don't see any other parts of him at all, and my attention is riveted to the cups (and the hand moving them), rather than to the conversation. What is it about GDL that he steals the scene when he's just a disembodied hand????

Oh I know what you mean. He doesn't even have to say anything to steal a scene.

'What is it about GDL that he steals the scene when he's just a disembodied hand????'
I have no idea, but I stare at his hands all day.
