I also thought that about EW - there just seemed to be sooo much to fit in that I wondered if a J/I scene had been cut. I've also wondered if the writers are coy with J/I because they are wary of defining Jack by his sexuality? As much as it'd be great if this wasn't the case, it's pretty rare to have the lead of a sci-fi show in a same-sex relationship. This would maybe not have been a problem with Gwen as, like it or not, boy-girl relationships are the norm for this kind of programme so it wouldn't be questioned. I'd be worried about Jack becoming "Gay action hero Jack Harkness" rather than "Action hero Jack Harkness, who happens to be sleeping with a man as well as having a lot of other characteristics" in viewers' minds. And about Torchwood being seen as some kind of sci-fi Will & Grace. Does that make any kind of sense?
