Hopefully we'll see more development with those two crazy guys. What they've done so far it's nice AND GOD I WANT MORE! Plus, I bet you anything Tosh writes them in fanfic.
Tosh with her mad skillz and her hot boobs and her pencil skirts.*loves*
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.
Even Owen is growing on me! I haven't wanted to punch him all season and at the end of this episode, I actually had a moment of LIKING him. Cool! I kinda started liking him a lot last season? *ducks*
I'm sort of starting to love Ianto, which is good because I was feeling left out. I didn't really get the Ianto thing last season. I liked him fine and I more or less enjoyed the Jack/Ianto thing, but I was for the most part fairly neutral.
and
My reaction is just more along the lines of "awww, they're cute." YES YES. THAT. YES.
My distaste for Owen is knee-jerk and a little irrational. I very, very rarely actively dislike characters to the point of being completely unable to sympathize with them, but Owen was that for me for awhile. I want him to grow on me because I would like to be invested in all of the characters.
God, seriously, Tosh is such an amazing character. I didn't think I could love her more and then last night, I totally did!
I'm loving *everyone* this season. I definitely had moments where I was severely annoyed by Owen or Gwen or Jack last season, but man, this season has been really solid. Three for three IMO. And, *yes* to wishing that there had been a show like this when I was younger. Although, I'm not sure that I would have been able to appreciate it; I had a lot of internalized homophobia. I'm just so thrilled that it's here now! WITH TONGUE.
Ianto's my favorite, but I can definitely see that I'm going out of my way to extrapolate a lot of the stuff that they didn't show us last season because he just hits SO MANY of my character kinks. Not to mention porn kinks. NNNNNNGH.
Tosh is fantastic. I just remember watching "Captain Jack Harkness" and thinking HA! I was right to love her best!
This season has been solid so far. Owen was always the one who really bothered me, so, like, if he is not going to do that, that's a good thing!
re: Ianto. Fair enough. I always liked him fine; I was just never incredibly invested. I would like to be, though. I want to be all flaily over the CANON SLASH SHIP. I think they're doing a much better job of developing both Ianto and the Ianto/Jack relationship this season, and we're only three episodes in. I'm definitely optimistic. *g*
Really, as I was talking to my viewing companions about last night, I will forgive TW a lot, probably just about anything, because of the way it feels to have a show where bisexuality is presented as the default. I just. I really, really wish I'd had a TW when I was sixteen, you know? So part of my love for it is that I enjoy mocking it and snarking, but part of it is that I am so grateful it finally exists. And it's not perfect, not at all, but it's HERE. Never doubt the purity of my love.
Aw. *hugs show* *and you* Do you think today's 16-year-olds are watching this show? Or are they all in bandom? :)
I hope some of todays 16-year-olds are watching this show. But bandom is a pretty young fandom over all, it's true. Of course, bandom has some pretty bisexual canon itself, so that's also nice. BOYS, please never stop wearing eyeliner and making out with each other and writing songs about it. Thanks. <3

And I'm actually a bit embarrased at how easily I may have jumped the Jack/Ianto boat. BoyKissing is my kryptonite :-P

I want to be on the Jack/Ianto boat. I really, really do. The spirit is willing! They just need to do a little more work to get me there.
The boykissing is nice, though.
