OMG! Just watched the episode and I have so many mixed feelings about it, it's getting to me. Ianto's the one character I truly love in that show, he grew on me like I would never have expected him to at first, but the way he's treated... that pisses me off to no end.
The beginning of season 2 had led me to believe that the whole secret thing was over and that Ianto and Jack were sort of an official item. Apparently I was once again sadly mistaken since Gwen seems to remain as oblivious as ever. Why doesn't Jack at least mention he's with someone or something like that when he's with Rhys? And what's with the whole Jack/Gwen thing? Wasn't that dealt with a long time ago? She can get away with everything just because she's Gwen bloody Cooper? WTF?
So on one hand I hated that episode because it sorts of lead us to believe the whole Ianto/Jack thing is just a part-time shag, and not a proper relationship where they go on dates and talk!! (So with you on that one!). But on the other hand, I loved it, because Ianto goes on missions with the rest of the team and he ROCKS so hard! He doesn't wait for Jack to rescue him, he's important to the success of the mission, etc... yay! At last!
Inconsistent really describes well those first episodes, relationships-wise, whether it be Ianto/Jack or Owen/Tosh. The looks between Jack and Ianto still confirm they have an on-going thing, but... aghhhhhh! It's just driving me crazy.
I want to see/read what happens right after that episode, when Ianto gets into Jack's face about his attitude towards Gwen! Come on, Jack! He's not a puppy you can keep kicking and that'll always come back no matter what.
Can't wait to see next week episode too! I've been avoiding spoilers like the plague so far...
