Another good poll, here are my additional comments on some of the questions :
THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AGAIN FOR THE PURISTS: Jack/Ianto, where are they at right now?
I think Jack and Ianto are both very committed to the realtionship, I just think they don't realize how committed the other is. At this point, I think they are monogamous.
Does Jack sleep?
I answered #2 which I think is overall how I feel. However, I think he and Ianto are spending more time together overnight and I like to think when he is sleeping with Ianto, he sleeps more, not because he's worn out [LOL] but because he is more at peace.
If Ianto were to meet the Doctor, how would they be together?
I answered # 5 which fits closest to how I feel. I think the Doctor would like Ianto but I think Ianto would be wary and somewhat jealous. But, I don't see him putting the Doctor down or making snide remarks and facial gestures.
Was Jack REALLY buried for ALL THAT TIME, how often did he die and and how did this affect him?
I answered #4 because I do think he was buried all that time and died only once or twice....not sure I think it was the MAGIC coat. I just think, buried with no air, he really couldn't have come back to life over and over. If there were air, yes, but no air, I don't think so.
Re Jack being buried...I like this explanation. Fits with how I was thinking, which is kind of based on the Highlander series - when an immortal dies, if he is still in the same situation that killed him (ie...being buried), he stays dead until the situation changes. I can't imagine that Jack would've been able to come back to life without air, and the air would've been gone pretty quickly. Which is why I'm not upset over the fact that Jack seemed pretty ok mentally when he came back...if he was dead until TW dug him up then it would just be like waking up. The same is true of being frozen for 100 years. The episode with Tommy indicated that it was just like waking up the next day, instead of being aware that a whole year had passed. In that case, from Jack's perspective, it's only been like a couple of days since he left and not the 2000+ years it actually was. No explanation for the coat though...it's got to be magic just to survive that long!
Re: Jack being buried, I don't think the writers care all that much about the specifics of Jack's immortality, as evidenced by him crying in the car with whatsisname as he kills himself in "Out Of Time."
I think he died over and over again, but since it was a penance that he undertook willingly, he didn't go insane, he thought he deserved it and took it stoically. And he was probably only semiconscious.
