"I don't even think what we got in CoE was exactly a happy affirmation for the most part either. Several moments of Ianto looking wistful or unhappy or worried about Jack, several moments of Jack either ignoring him or shutting down tacky conversations about couples and how long they could be together anyway, one hug, one desperate about-to-die kiss, a bit of cockblocking, one outright declaration, one implied declaration... and a kiss for the corpse.
It's probably very entitled and ridiculous of me to be less than enthralled by such a ringing endorsement of the relationship. Especially when you never get to see Gwen and Rhys being warmly affectionate and supportive in every ep over the full five hours and ending by riding off into the sunset tog... oh, wait. "

Which largely sums up my problems with the way the relationship has been written.
