I’m almost computer illiterate, don’t have facebook or twitter so I don’t know if this is right, but I saw your comment onIanto Jones and Gwen Cooper.
I think Eve Myles is an excellent actress, and I really enjoyed her character at first, a good strong female character who was an interesting conduit for the information the audience needed. Unfortunately, she was turned into a petulent, pouting bimbo whose idea of loyalty was very… elastic to say the least.
Ianto was a character who grew and developed. He was, I feel, an excellent role model. (I speak as a straight female of pensionable age,) and it was good to see such a relationship portrayed as a positive idea.
The whole series of CoE was a shambles. The holes in the plot are too numerous to count, but if repaired there would be no story. Ianto was simply thrown away, his death rendered meaningless.
I know it is unlikely that he will come back – and given what I hear of the new series this may be a good thing – but many of us mourn the stories that could have been told, and now never will be.
