I agree and disagree. Yeah, I think a lot of these folks are upset because their ship hit an iceberg.
Personally, I'm upset, because I think Jack will be reduced to a cameo. And a Gwencentric show whether she's faithful to Rhys, or with Jack or screwing aliens just doesn't interest me.
However, I do think that there was something uncomfotably homophobic about CoE. I don't want to rehash everything, but for a show that spent two seasons telling us that labels didn't matter, they spent an awful lot of time labelling Ianto in CoE.
That being said, I don't want Ianto back. As was pointed out, if RTD were really the evil genius he thinks he is, he'd say, "Ok, I'll bring him back and then pair him with a weevil or Rhys' mother.
Personally, I was so hoping that in S3 Ianto was going to kick Jack to the curb and go and find himself someone better.
But in the end, it is just a show. One I won't be watching anymore. And that's the best protest of all - not supporting the franchise.
