I'm really angry at the writers for not showing us critical moments anywhere but in the Captain's Blog on BBCA
I wouldn't go so far as to say they haven't shown us *any* "critical moments." Jack's speech and the kiss following it in TtLM should definitely count as a critical moment. And I'd think the asking for a date scene in KKBB and the kiss in End of Days could also be considered one too. And Ianto's flashback in Fragments was, to me, an eight minute long critical "moment"! *g*
I do admit that I tend to be satisfied with subtle moments that perhaps many other people find too subtle to be satisfying, such as Jack's "Never" and the brief hug they share when Jack gets back in Exit Wounds. Or the way Jack shouted "Ianto!" when he was searching for Ianto in the rubble in Fragments. Or going way back to Cyberwoman, how Jack very obviously looks toward Ianto when Gwen asks him if he has ever loved anyone that much. But I also agree that the writers could give us a lot more. However, I also feel saying they haven't given us anything is a little unfair to them.
