“Buffy” Vs. “Torchwood”: Which Did a Better Job Killing Its Gay Character?

"And for the record, as one of the fans upset by Ianto Jones death to the extent that I can't see myself watching again, even if there is another series, I took great personal offence at some of Davies comments - especially the ew.com interview with the "go watch Supernatural, those boys are beautiful" one. I did not watch Torchwood or like Ianto Jones because I wanted to get into his pants. I wanted to get into his head. Because he was bi like me, learning to love someone of his own gender and such a genuinely identifiable character that I could empathise with. That is why I was so angry at his death.
And why I will miss him so very much. Or will I?
Because this is sci fi. And anything is possible.
