"I keep talking about this inevitable death when really, I think the chances are about 50-50."
I think this is where I'm at now, but only because I've convinced myself that Torchwood, as a whole, is as likely to be given the "now he's gone, now he's not" treatment as Ianto is. Because (here follows the wishful thinking wild theory)...
After the Asylum radio play, it was mentioned in a few places that Torchwood will obviously have partial or total control of the rift in the future, add to that the possibility that the ### aliens might be a part of the "everything changes" that Jack's been predicting/dreading, and the sum total might be that Torchwood as we know it will END with S03. So, that eventual S04 that the actors keep hinting at and assuring us of the possibility for? - it might have a completely different premise from the TW we've seen so far, one in which Jack and TW3 aren't flailing after what falls through the rift randomly, but are steering and controlling the flow of the rift.
And I'm probably imagining this because of all the ways something along those lines could allow for a dead or retconned Ianto to be brought back into Jack's TW3. (Denial is a wonderful thing.)
