As of today I'm officially the complete loser sister of a Frau Doktor with boyfriend and daughter. Strangly enough though I'm not even particualrly bothered, and I haven't quite been able to decide whether that's a good thing or not...

And now without further ado, onto the Torchwood rewatchage. *g*

Here to wave my hands around and agree with you pretty much all over the place

the show isn't afraid of juxtaposing extreme contrasts, which is appealing and persuasive since life doesn't tend to compartmentalise neatly either.

Exactly.

It's really only a step away from what Suzie does, retconning that support group. Cruel, but I think it comes from the same place of isolation and desperation.

without necessarily thinking through what that might mean when he was safely inside the Hub.I'd be more inclined to believe that if had picked a different persona for the first meeting. He certainly wasn't planning on having a relationship, but sex, at least a couple of times until Jack lost interest, was something he was willing to do, I think, if that was what it took, because too much depended on it

I guess continuity-wise I just have less of a problem with this version and seeing the stopwatch comment as a sort of 'I forgive you' than imagining Ianto moving from *glare* (Countrycide) and *painpainpain* (GBG) to that kind of assured, easy come-on on the basis of nothing more than a barely-admitted attraction in the next episode. Then again, I'm aware that this might be moving into the territory where things are happening more in my head than in actual show canon...
