I read your Jack metaphor thing and that is so true! You have no idea how much I could go on about it's sheer brilliance and cleverness and use of the metaphor and...oh wait, I just have but wow, that is seriously good. I love how you showed how interlinked Jack and Ianto are and how Ianto is the support but Jack's the quicksand and with Ianto using things so he doesn't have a breakdown and where you say about him telling the meltdown he's busy and to go away; I can definitely see Ianto saying that:P
I have never and probably will never see the ifrst ep of Torchwood but I didn't watch them in order anyway; I watched c of e before the others and then worked backwards so that might have affected how I see the characters but I really, really like Owen. He is a brilliant doctor as you say and that's obvious in Meat and in Countrycide and then he has caring moments in to the last man with saying he doesnt want Tosh to get hurt and then in his dead trilogy and especially his conversation with Ianto was, in my opinion, lovely especially when he was talking to the old man and the boy with leukaemia it was all just aww!!! I'm fine. And he was lovely with Diane and with Katie beforehand. Maybe he was still getting over Katie that he hated himself so wasnt up to maintaining any other relationships so treated everyone badly as that's how he thought he should be treated but that's just me analysing a ficitonal character:P
I do agree that Tosh should have had so much more screen time. She was always the one left behind or unlucky in love or whatever and she could have been brilliant:( *is sad*
Just throwing my two pence in about Ianto getting Jack to hire him because he looked pretty; I don't think so. Ianto did try to prove his usefulness with the Weevil and the coffee but I don't think he had what it takes to go all the way so to speak as the warehouse seen shows. He could have kissed Jack but he bottled it at the last moment and got upset about it which considering he knows he's got to betray this man and he has a dying girlfriend and his world has literalyl fallen apart is only natural. Poor Yantoes:( ...and Jack...and Owen...and Tosh:( I want the old team back!!!!
