I'm SO with you on all this. TOSH FTW! Her brains! Her heart! Her ENORMOUS BOOBS!
And I too want to flail at J/I. I mean, like I told Fod last night, I shipped S/A for EIGHT YEARS and got a second and a half of hand holding. She's been in fandom twelve minutes and her OTP is fucking making out onscreen. SO NOT FAIR!

Ha! It's totally not fair. :) Yeah, I want to love J/I a lot. And I do like it; I just can't summon the flailing. I don't love Ianto enough yet and they haven't given me enough *development,* But I want it! I really, really do. I am ready and willing to be convinced.
I like Ianto too and I like him more and more every episode this season. And I think the ship could ping me? But I need more development and background to be really invested in it on a flaily shippy level. Then again, I have a type too, and they're not totally that for me either. (I ship Jack/Ten, but I will never have that.) But that doesn't mean I'm not on my way to being sold on J/I - especially since I really, really want to be sold on it.
Oh, I'm sold in the sense that I love seeing it onscreen, I'm just not going to be as flaily as everyone else, because it's not my BPK. It COULD have been, I mean, Jack killed his fucking girlfriend. There could have been the kind of tension (read: abject hatred bordering on psychotic affection) that I love in a slash ship. But. No.
OH GOD do I love seeing it onscreen. MORE PLEASE. It's just . . . okay. They had so much potential last season. SO MUCH. To be, like, you say kind of twisty and fucked up and . . . I think they're doing a much better job with development this season, so I think I even have the possibility of getting to the flaily place. My problem last season was always that I didn't see how they got to where they were. Their arc seemed really incoherent - they jumped straight from Jack killing Lisa to Ianto falling for Jack and there were hints of tension, but I felt like there was so, so much we didn't see. There was fall out that really should have been there. There was an arc that we should have had that we didn't have and I felt kind of cheated, I guess? I mean, I really do like both characters, especially now, but I did feel like the development just wasn't there last season. I always felt like I was missing something when it came to Jack/Ianto because I just could not figure out the whys and hows of it even when I really, really
