I really can't see writers just wanting to create fan fiction opportunities! I'm glad they are giving it time, it may last longer than the average on screen relationship. Surely the point is that this is a sci fi show, they can't turn it into a soap and have people sit about angsting about relationships.
I remember after the snog in TTLM, a lot of comments about how people generally loved it because they felt it was part of the plot, and worked, not shoehorned in or superfluous relationship stuff. The men I know who watch feel very strongly on that point, they don't mind a little bit if it fits with the plot, but they want action and monsters and sci fi as well. Having said that, I have also heard quite a few women say the same thing, they hate too much of it in either DW or TW, they can watch elsewhere for angst and soap.
I really feel that less is more, and have been quite happy with what they have done this season. I do agree that they could get away with a little more, but too much and the whole thing would be doomed. People have commented on the others having bed scenes, but bed scenes are scenes of doom, certainly for Owen and Tosh. I doubt they will mirror Gwen/Rhys with Jack/Ianto. I would like to see a little more domesticity in the next series, definitely. Porn would also be nice. Not too much though, that just makes me anxious.
