CAPTAIN'S BLOG

For Fragments:

Staff: Everyone came out of the explosion pretty beaten up, but no major damage. We got lucky. And so did John. Because if he’d killed anyone - if he had hurt Ianto - I would have slowly ripped him limb from limb.

Other Staff issues: Although I have to say, Ianto does look good all messed up and dirty.

DAMN YOU, STOP PASTING IT ON!!!!

It's not like you haven't had AMPLE OPPORTUNITY to show us teh wuv. Why didn't you?

I'm all for the Janto but there's no need to single out Ianto as the damsel in distress/ to protect, isn't it ?

Except I'm a big hypocrite because I did squeal ...

Also, when is he supposed to have written that? It really doesn't seem to fit into the continuity given that EW follows on straight from Fragments.

They really make me angry. I feel like I'm being played. At this point, they can either put it onscreen or give it a rest as far as I'm concerned. The pandering is ridiculous.

Srsly. I don't know if they are afraid of showing a loving same sex relationship on the show, and figure innuendo and kink will at least make the squeamish people laugh...or...? And then try to placate the fangirls/boys a little through the media content. It's getting old. I would have traded the Adrift scene...okay, maybe not the Adrift scene, but definitely a hockey stick, UNIT cap, or slow dance for a single shot of Jack leaning his forehead against Ianto's in relief or hugging him after pulling him out of the rubble in Fragments. Or something. Sure, Jack looked concerned, but his reaction was to pop the shoulder back in and then slap him on the back near the shoulder that had just popped out. Nothing says "I love you" like a little pain! Well, actually, with these two... But the Captain's Blog retcons the whole thing into some hearts-and-flowers domestic partnership at times, which is fine, but just show us a smidgen of it so it isn't such cognitive dissonance. I promise the show won't explode if Captain Jack shows a little affection and tenderness for the boy he's been bonking since Day One...no pun intended.

Pander to the fandom much *Ianto style eye-roll*

Why can't they show this on screen. I don't want much, just a hug would be nice.

I agree, it's really getting gratuitous now. I would have greatly preferred one tiny moment of "oh Ianto, I am so happy you are not exploded!" vs. "there, I popped your shoulder in, now hoof it," and some kind of hasty add-on in the Captain's Log later. I know that they couldn't have exactly started making out right then and there in the middle of the blast zone but still, just some tiny display of gratitude for Ianto's life-- just a touch more than he showed for the others'-- would have spoken volumes. This speaks basically nothing.

And it totally does sound like it's written by a teenage with all. The short. And emotional. Sentences.
