Okay, I just posted some of this at DWF, but I'm gonna post it here too, cause I want some feedback. I'm really frustrated because it really is two steps forward, one step back with everything Ianto.
His background really gets me. So he was with T1 for 2 years as a junior researcher but before that he had odd jobs and was, in Jack's words, "mainly a drifter." And he was an average student at college, but he's clearly brilliant and resourceful. I mean, he rebuilt and maintained a cyber-conversion unit, maintains the rift manipulator, and understands high level physics concepts.
Plus, how does a "drifter" who was an average student get a job at Torchwood One? It's not exactly an average office job. How did he pass the background check? A researcher would have access to lots of files and information, so there would have to be some kind of a background check. But he had a shoplifting conviction and couldn't hold down a job. That's the two number one reasons a person couldn't pass a background check right there.
Plus, it's becoming increasingly obvious that his family is ALL DEAD.
I know this is Torchwood, but some of this stuff just seems so obvious. My fanwank theory is that he created the background. The obvious is simply that the producers didn't take into account that all that mysterious stuff would make it difficult to have worked for Torchwood. Either way, who the heck is Ianto Jones?
The only thing about him I am certain of? MANWHORESPY! Even before seducing Jack. He was always a MANWHORESPY. He even said it himself..."Jones, Ianto Jones." Bastard. I love him so much. He's becoming one of my favorite TV characters of all time. But who the heck is he?
