I'm sorry to disagree COE was brilliant....
...and I say that as somebody who was a huge Ianto fan.
Ianto had to die because he was Jack's lover, not because he was gay. If Jack's squeeze had been a woman, she would have died as well.
Jack had to be free to be the Tragic Hero, roaming the universe lonely and fucked-up.
Losing Ianto and Steven was his punishment for the children in 1965. He had to suffer for that.
What did some of the fans want? Thirteen episodes of 'Jack and Ianto go to the Supermarket, and Have a Lovely Fluffy Conversation about Eternal Love'?
It would have been bollocks.
