I assumed Gwen would lose her baby, but since its only three weeks it could go either way. If the HPepilogue-it though, and have her name it Ianto, I'll be so incredibly angry...
I don't think they are going to reverse it, but I really really hope they do. It was just so incredibly stupid on so many levels. And, they are always so proud of the Janto, of having a gay couple on prime time TV, it isn't only fandom that like Janto. I don't hate Gwen but I do think she is given too much importance; I mean, Torchwood was supposed to be an ensemble show, but now practically the entire ensemble is gone!
I don't mind moments of Gwack tension as long as it never actually went further than tension, because I think it is perfectly understandable that Gwen be attracted to Jack, and jack is attracted to everyone. But since I don't think Jack would ever have cheated on Ianto with Gwen, I worry that this is how they make it more possible, though tbh I do still think Jack wouldn't sleep with a Gwen that is married and has a baby on the way. He is very sexual and loving, but he appreciates families so much I just don't see him breaking them up. Oh dear, I've rather digressed. I said higher up ^^ that I would have been more satisfied for example, if Ianto had died protecting Rhys, because aside from it being less crap, it would also further layer any future jack/Gwen tension - not only cheating on Rhys, her husband, father of her child, but her lover whose life was saved by Jack's own former lover giving up his life... something like that would have been so much more satisfying.
But yes. Losing the Janto permanently seems like a big mistake, and a strange one to make at that. I'll watch the next episode, but I don't know yet whether I'd watch another series yet. Maybe if Gwen dies saving the world, Jack goes off with the Doctor and the beeb then commission a series of Randy since they are all that's left (and they BETTER be left!) I would watch that. But, well. I'm not sure really.
