This show reminds me an awful lot of BtVS, particularly in terms of how Buffy and Spike's relationship ended. Ianto (Spike) was devoted to Jack (Buffy), Jack's (Buffy's) feelings remained enigmatic, the dying declaration of love fell flat, and ultimately Ianto (Spike) was sacrificed (in a relatively passive rather than actively heroic way) to make some point about how it's lonely at the top for a hero.
I guess RTD at least avoided having Ianto killed like Tara, right after sex. Justifications about Janto sound a lot like what Joss said when Tara was killed to me as well.
