I'm very glad they didn't kill Ianto! Though it may not matter if I fall out of love with the whole show as I fear. And yes--what's with killing doctors? Egad!
I fervently hope they are not building up to a Gwack hook-up (I love that combination of names). Like Sam and Jack (SG-1--too many Jacks!), I like Gwen and I like Jack, but I do not like Gwen/Jack. I think since she got married, Gwen really hasn't been giving Jack those looks, and she knows how deeply Rhys loves her. She really loves him, too! She does not want him in danger and went nuts when he died in first season!
I also think (hope?) Jack has the maturity not to break up their relationship. It's not that I think Jack has embraced monogamy; it would be nice if he did, but that's too much to hope. But he stands not only to hurt Ianto (who is going to get hurt one way or another, and Ianto himself knows that--"we dabble" my foot!), but Gwen and Rhys. He respects Rhys (as well he should!), he loves Gwen. Just say no, Jack!
But, doggone it, I just got into TW fandom! Don't wreck the show now, writers! I wrote my first story for it! Maybe they had a good reason?
Speaking of which (the fic, not the putative "good reason")--could I interest you in beta-reading my epilogue for "Adrift"? aurora_novarum already gave it a read over and has pointed out several infelicitous sentences and a few downright unreadable ones, but she hasn't seen all the episodes of the show, so she wouldn't necessarily catch violations of canon. It's third-person limited, Ianto's point of view, two scenes, about thirteen pages total.
I'm holding out hope against hope that the TW writers will buck the norm and actually not go the Jack/Gwen route. (Gwack, hee!) I think the characters themselves probably would and should resist, but some writers... I don't know. I love Jack and Gwen's friendship, and their respective relationships to their partners. I'm not so sure he's a monogamous sort either, and I see Ianto getting hurt in the end one way or the other; I just hope Gwen won't do the same to Rhys.

Just hold onto that dire hope that the writers have a very good reason for what they're doing -- I didn't see the TW Declassified that went along with the episode, but it sounded like they might have gone into some sort of reasoning behind the senseless killings direction they went. Blind hope managed to get me to Season Four on SGA... so maybe it'll work for TW too!
Sure, send it my way! I haven't seen maybe three later episodes of Season One, but I've thoroughly spoiled myself on Wikipedia, so I'm pretty sure I can catch any canonical errors (because I'm weird and anal about things like that).
