I found the blogs quite sickening when compared to what we saw in the actual show. They're just not on the same wave-length at all.
I still stand by the fact that the biggest problem with the Jack/Ianto relationship is that Jack and Ianto themselves are not on an equal footing. Not only do the writers give Jack a relationship with Ianto, they also continue to give him sexual tension with other characters, most notibly Gwen and Captain John. Jack also continues to have a strong attachment to the Doctor.
Ianto's stuck with only Jack, which of course is going to make it seem like Ianto has a greater investment in their relationship than Jack does.
I still hold the view that, unless their relationship is actually going to go somewhere in S3, I'd rather see it droped all together. At least this way, the writers will have to give Ianto some storylines that have nothing to do with his half-hearted relationship with Jack.
