I've been worrying at this for weeks. Bear in mind that I watch the episodes first very early on Thursday morning. (Don't ask, just bear that in mind.) And I haven't rewatched 09 yet, so I thought maybe it was my sleep-muddied imagination. But, yes, this was bothering me for a reason. And, yes, it's been going on for weeks and IT HAS TO STOP!
I can forgive RTD for not having complete control, no matter how much we can with he did, of his show. There are writers who are not in total agreement on everything. (The three-story Martha arc? Three stories. I didn't think they were at all well-connected, despite Owen's predicament.) But Barrowman surely saw this in the dailies, and I cannot accept that he's let it go without a fight unless he knows something not yet shown will have an impact. I'm holding out for that. Despite the fact that I have as yet to read an interview with him where he admits to watching the dailies. I can't believe an old queen like Barrowman doesn't revel in seeing himself on screen. Especially in THAT coat! LOL!
I know there's no way they can find a girlfriend for Ianto that will satisfy any of the fans. But he's too good a character to be the teaboy and part-time shag for the boss. They need to end it or make it work. This fifty-fifty split is just annoying.
And at the moment I hate Jack with such a passion I hope Gwen turns on him as soon as she comes back from her honeymoon. And while not a Gwack shipper, I do like the friendship between them. And I REALLY want to see Tosh discover the backbone she developed in Adam before she was retconned, and turn on Jack, too. Leave him with Owen as his only friend. HAH! That'll do Jack some good!
