IANTO.  (It's not wrong of me to think of at least this season so far as "The Ianto Jones Show", is it?)

So the SUV ... doesn't have a rearview mirror?

Okay, Jack is wrong and Rhys is right, but "This is quite homoerotic" was fucking funny.

IANTO IS STILL MY FAVORITE.  "Guess who'll have to look after it in the meantime."  "Listen to Ahab."

Oh, Tosh.  Give up, sweetie.  Look how Owen is pretending not to get it instead of laughing in your face -- that's how much he's grown.

Jack is being kind of a dick.  Okay, kind of a lot.

Is it possible Ianto is a teensy bit scruffy?  I think it is.  And I think you all know how I feel about that.

Is this creature, like, a Boeshang water-horse or similar?  Why is it affecting Jack so much more than any other?  (I mean, maybe because it's the first alien we've seen that's not harming anyone.  I can get behind that.)

speed!Ianto!  clever!Ianto!

Oh, bugger.  made!Ianto. With hacksaws all around -- post-traumatic!Ianto, after "Countrycide".  [eta:  which was its own Festival of Fun, of course, for those who had survived Canary Wharf.]  Although if any of this lot were vulnerable to PTSD, I imagine they'd have turned into gibbering wrecks long before now.

Okay, or Ianto's PTSD might manifest itself just a little differently.

I do love how his voice goes all low like that?, but our True Neutral Hufflepuff is one scary dude when he's pissed off.

Owen and that Hippocratic oath, man.  Discuss.  (I'm going to go with, he's -- or he was -- a rat bastard, but previously he'd never actually done any harm.)

Oh, fuck off, is Jack going to make Gwen give Rhys the retcon?  He IS.  RAR.  Don't do it, Gwen.  Lie, lie, lie!  Remember how last time you drugged him, he ended up stabbed in the gut when he should have been cleaning the oven?  (But Rhys is kind of stuffing it just now.  But he is lying to Dav, good for him!)

Gwen is the winner!  She has accomplished what I've hoped she would all this time.  Gwen is redeemed!  She is the hero!  She wins the fight with Jack!  HUZZAH!  (Oh, Jack, calm down.  You've got shirtsleeves!Ianto, wtff is the matter with you?)


... okay, the trailer for next week has got me appalled and intrigued all at once.  Apparently, w/r/t Jack's PTSD, see above re: Ianto's PTSD.
