I don't get their argument at all. Torchwood peeps baffle me anyway.
I loved Ianto and I was SAD when he died but theres a part of me that thinks the show was better for it. I thought it was honest and genuine and right that he should die. I'm glad they didn't retcon it. I'm glad again that they had the balls to do it in the first place. Sure it was hard to watch and made me cry like a little girl but it was brave and I won't lambast the writer/s for that. RTD did what he thought was right for the characters and the show in general. Whether that is proven out in the long run remains to be seen, but as it stands now, i'm glad he did it.
TW fandom has the most skewed perspectives sometimes. I'm glad I don't actively participate there cos i'm sure I wouldn't last long. I like Gwen and am glad she got a happy ending and I think what Jack did was right and i'm glad he ran because it was honest. <---- That little thing right there would have just signed my Request for Flaming.
Also in the article I spotted this:
Question: But it's a risky thing to kill off such a popular character. DAVIES: Absolutely. There’s a risk that some people won’t come back to watch now that Ianto’s gone. I thank them for watching the show and I recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are beautiful. And don’t tell me they’re brothers. [Laughs] Not in my mind.
