They're killing us here. There's NO WAY Yvonne's Torchwood would have touched him with a shitty stick.
Exactly! Plus, what...27 people survived the Battle of Canary Warf? 27 PEOPLE! I'm sure there's a random sampling of employees, but one of them just happens to be this guy...who then immediately goes to grab his girlfriend from a cyber-conversion unit. That's some serious balls right there. Love and fear of loneliness yes, but big shiny brass balls to go with it. And how did he walk away with barely a scratch anyway? According to the old BBC website a lot of the survivors were injured or maimed. Canon or not, it makes sense. And Ianto walked away.
I don't remember that about Ianto's records. Do you think you saw that on the old website, or on the show? That is interesting. Have you caught the thing about his name? Ianto Jones basically translates into John Smith. I know the part was originally named Idris Hopper, but the change really opened it up. They could seriously make him anyone.
I'm not sure he did have Jack at tight jeans and a stick. I think Jack's first reaction to Ianto was fear. He really seemed to want to get rid of him. He's usually so flirtatious and coy with the hot guys, even when he knows they're evil. Like Jim Robinson. It couldn't just be the Torchwood London connection because he was afraid in the park too. I think Jack's instincts were correct, but I don't think Ianto is evil. Just not who he says he is. Or at least, not completely who he says he is.
How long until we get more episodes? I bet it's a freaking year again. GAH!
