*facepalm* I really should be more careful about proof-reading my comments. I had meant to say, '...certain critical moments....' I fail.
I couldn't agree with you more on all the examples you gave. I, too, am very happy with what they have given us, but am angry about the lack of moments at certain critical points in the series. (That would have been a better way to phrase it, in the first place.) I think that those missing vignettes give the viewers justifiable pause when contemplating Jack/Ianto, especially when they've given us such deep and meaningful moments elsewhere. On the other hand, nothing works better for series TV than stringing the viewers along with worry and speculation about the key relationships. Dammit! ;)
