I'm personally a little tired of the fanwank. To me the captains blog is the by product of a writer hunted down by fangirls that just happens to be a shipper himself. And while I really like what they say, and enjoy them very much, I tend to discard them. Cannon should be the show itself, unless the producers/writers say otherwise.
Now, I think Jack is serious about his relationship with Ianto and while a lot of people think that Jack leaving in "The Stolen earth" made him an uncaring bastard, I just thought it was what he had to do.
I actually resent that people expect Jack to be there protecting them like Ianto and Gwen are helpless pups. They are Torchwood and they have to take care of themselves. Maybe is because I don't really watch DW and to me Daleks are not that "scary" and I think they should be able to fend for themselves, and if not die trying. The only thing that pissed me off is that Torchwood doesn't have any better guns that machine guns. That was just plain stupid.
And I don't think Jack was that slutty in DW (this season). He flirted with Sara Jane, yes, and made the comment about "the doctors" but nothing really came out of it. Not only that, but Ianto acting jealous and putting Jack in his place was hilarious.
I do have to agree that continuity is non-existent, specially with the characters relationships. Not only that, but the show is the Jack - Gwen show. They just don't use any other characters to lead the episodes. Even "From out of the Rain" was supposed to be Gwen investigation, but Eve was busy filming "Adrift", so they used Ianto instead. I personally don't see why they don't use him more, since he is full of opportunities as a character. To most people he is recognizable for funny one-liners and shagging Jack, which completely pissess me off. I rather have him single and developed than Jack chew toy.
