More hot and heavy stuff would have been welcome, but I think the angsting and judgments and Jack being unable to admit to being a couple was setting up the ending. Which I'm not going to say anything more about since I'm not sure if you've seen all the parts of the show. :)

Let me know I'm not spoiling you and I'll go into more detail on my thoughts on the matter. ;)

I've seen all 5 days - so, no, you wouldn't be spoiling me.

I'd really like to know your thoughts on how Jack being unable to commit, etc., was setting up the ending.

It really seems to me that since Jack had already lived so long and seen so many people he loved die that it got to be really hard for him to take that last step with Ianto, almost as if somewhere inside him he believed that if he admitted to being a couple or gave his love freely it would somehow jinx him/them. The way the story built towards the finale you saw the pain that Jack had to live with over so many years - and the guilt over things such as the children he led to sacrifice in 1965. It drove home the fact that Jack's very existence was built of tragedy - something that we were aware of but that RTD apparently wanted us to REALLY understand before he just yanked TW out from under us ( ... )

I just saw this (been dealing with some stupid computer stuff all evening and got totally distracted from checking my email). And it's late, so I'm gonna be completely incoherent in a three minutes... But I wanted to say something now, even if it's short. I'd LOVE to talk to you about this in more detail and will respond again tomorrow - once I'm home from work ( ... )

Definitely... I woulda liked something else in the mix
And Ianto's death in general really peeved me off!
We only have half the TW crew left!
I really have no clue as to what RTD is thinking/was thinking
