See, this is why I love this forum - sensible people!!
Ianto was a garbage character in S1, in S2 he got to be really funny & nobble Jack, then in CotE he got to be pretty cool then have a really touching death scene.
The end.
All these folk endlessly prattling on about it need to chill out/get laid or something - I just don't get it.
Is all the anger & hate because he was Jacks lover & he got killed? Or because he was an excellent character and got killed?
Or is it because the fella playing him went on to be an absolutely AWFUL Doctor Watson in a SyFy original movie?
I was saddened more when they killed Tosh, she was excellent.
Owen....dreadful actor IMO so I cheered both times he was killed! Plus he got to bed Louise Delamere & Gwen, so I hated Owen
