The more I think about it, the more I believe that RTD offed Ianto and destroyed TW3 in a bid for a different kind of show on BBC1.
That way, the new fans don't have to deal with all those inconvenient little truths about the old characters (Ianto's bisexuality, Gwen's infidelity, Jack's omniwhatever.). The new fans will be just fine with a new series, with Mommy Gwen.
And I'll bet anyone a Retcon pill that if Jack comes back, they'll mention his omniwhatever once and then he will conveniently fall for a female character.
But I really feel sold out as an original fan. Its kind of like those of who watched from the beginning are the ugly children RTD would like to forget about. Hey, he doesn't need us now, he's got a BBC1 for his new trophy wife.
You are so right!
