Love the Ianto debating whether to zap Annie or not...it'd be hard for anyone not to. Then the scene at the end was heartbreaking and beautiful, I love understanding!Jack.

*grin* Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

I'm really enjoying trying to build a relationship for them behind the scenes.

I love love love Ianto not being able to resist trying to ressurect Lisa one last time. Still being haunted and not quite ready to let go. Lovely.

Thanks!

Ianto is stronger than Suzie was - or possibly just less obsessed with conquering death. Or maybe it's neither of those things, maybe it's simply his ability to extrapolate what will happen if he uses the glove. It simply isn't worth it. It will change nothing, Lisa will still be dead and Ianto will still be grieving.

He is, however, quick to act on a flash of inspiration, thereby saving the day. He deserved a kiss, but there wasn't time right then. He'll get a lot more than a kiss later.

Giddiness from lack of sleep certainly explains Ianto propositioning Jack over Suzie's body! Have to admit though, that's one use for a stopwatch that never crossed my mind! Kinda kinky!

The stopwatch thing is so bizarre. I'm certain that's the point -- the writers seem to delight in that kind of tease -- but I felt compelled to make a stab at what some of those things one can do with it might be.

I wonder a little if Ianto is also a bit more fatalistic than Suzie was obsessed. Ianto is more able to let a terrible thing be a terrible thing. Suzie rages against the darkness more readily. Ianto needs a nudge (as we see later on).

This is like dark chocolate; bitter, sweet, and one can never get enough!

I was going to reply to you, but then I realized I had some fair trade 70% cacao in the cupboard...

LOL!
