GDL is easy on the eyes and his Ianto is uber cool, smart, snarky & just crazy sexy.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, please dial down the "Gwen is a Goddess and therefore thou shall worship her" thing, because it's very off putting to have a Mary Sue shoved down one's throat like that. And for the love of baby Jesus, PLEASE, don't turn to the dark side by going the Jack/Gwen route.<BR/><BR/>I started watching this show because of Captain Jack (duh!) and kept tuning in because it's brave and refreshing, and doesn't always pandering to the happy ending mentality. I adore the fact that Jack is a hero with ten shades of grays. Kindly keep up the good work, and in conclusion, YES, John Barrowman is made of awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-84435321855441947242007-02-15T17:57:00.003+00:002007-02-15T17:57:00.003+00:00"Keep up the good work please dont kill off Jack" ..."Keep up the good work please dont kill off Jack" - vincent GodfreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-32091271262635796062007-02-15T17:57:00.002+00:002007-02-15T17:57:00.002+00:00"Keep up the good work.

This means that characters are hard to understand, the main culprit being Ianto's disavowal of Torchwood and Jack especially, leading to a relationship that came out of nowhere and seemed contrary to everything we'd seen before.
