Adam
Cyberwoman to Adam ...
Ok, so last night I was watching Cyberwoman and Adam (again) and I noticed a few interesting points in terms of Jack and Ianto's relationship:
1) In Cyberwoman Ianto does everything he can to prevent Jack discovering Lisa, whereas in Adam he waits for Jack to come home and confesses immediately.
2) In Cyberwoman, Ianto calls Jack a monster, in Adam he calls himself the monster.
3) In Cyberwoman, Ianto says that if he had the chance to save Jack he wouldn't he'd just let him suffer and die, whereas in Adam when Tosh is threatening to shoot Jack, he is the one removing the gun from her, even though he knows Jack can't die.
4) Jack won't give up on Ianto in Adam, and Ianto won't give up on Lisa in Cyberwoman, despite Lisa/Ianto having killed/ believed to have killed, Ianto/Jack still believes they are human, not monsters and that there is a way to save them.
5) Cyberwoman and Adam are the only two times (that I can think of) where Ianto uses the f-word, albeit he only mouths it in Adam.
6) In Cyberwoman he says that he's got nothing to loose, and in Adam he says that Torchwood 3 and Jack give him meaning. Also, he accuses jack of never having loved in Cyberwoman, and yet in Adam it's pretty clear to me that Jack loves Ianto.
And Cyberwoman is ep.4 in S1, and Adam is ep.5 in S2, so a weird sort of sequel, methinks?
