love_jackianto: Remember some time ago you asked me what my friend who liked CoE (and who hadn't seem any other TW) thought of S1 & S2 (except the final episode of S2).
She's just finished series 1. Her feeling is that S1 Gwen isn't 'her' Gwen, and Tosh is now her favorite character. Love's Ianto, but with the knowledge that he's going to die. Its like imprinting - her vision of the characters was totally formed by CoE and nothing is going to change that. Just like our vision was set by S1 & S2 and we can't change that. Will she watch a Gwen-centric S4 - you betcha? So RTD has now achieved his original goal of creating a female heroine story with a Welsh policewoman.
The only thing that could f-it-up for him is that the perfect economic storm has hit the entertainiment industry on this side of the Atlantic (I was reading a Brit paper in Heathrow yesterday and yikes, the BBC is really gutting budgets and salaries). I would be so sad is RTD couldn't get his many. new, brilliant ideas, funded on this side of the pond (not).
