Apparently the new Torchwood box set isn't up to much in terms of special features etc, but it does come with this little gem of a deleted scene:

Hee! I think the best bit about that (and really, for half a minute, there's a lot to love) is the way that Jack just enters for no reason, molests Ianto a little bit, then runs away again. You can almost hear him giggling his way into the distance.

Also, it is now canon that Ianto practices at being hardcore - after all, in a few hours' time he will get to STUN GUN A GUY IN THE FACE (which is actually impossible to describe without capslocking). This allows me to break out my catchphrase of the Torchwood months once again, namely - Ianto Jones, how are you so awesome?

And the thing is, with other shows (like, ooh, I don't know, the BIG GAY SPACE OPERA that is SGA), it's unintentional or at least incidental. Here, I am convinced that that is actually what they do.

We should really try to influence them more specifically. *tries out subliminal messages* Dear writers, how about some more on-screen girlkissing next series, maybe even of the non-ev0l alien variety? Kthnx! xxx

(I feel bad because I get pissed off at SGA when they do 'meaningful' episodes. I sit there yelling I WANT MY BIG GAY SPACE OPERA BACK and then have to remind myself that I care about things like politics.)

Oooh, we totally should. I would be all in favour of non-ev0l girlkissing. I mean we've got canon boysex, let's have canon girlsex. *thinks thinky thinky thoughts*

(Hahaha, I so know what you mean! Mind you, to get my politics kick I would probably just watch West Wing or something, you know? I do not require Srs Bsns from my sci-fi.)

Yes yes. Especially as it seems unlikely in the near future, given that they probably wouldn't get in two new female characters and then have them hook up. Which just goes to show once again that Tosh should have had moar girlsex before she went. Oh, and that there should be more fic in recognition of this fact.

(Well, precisely. I don't want SGA to get thinky on me. If I wanted thinky sci-fi, I'd watch SG1 which did it reasonably well. And that is why I stopped watching it. I WANT BIG GAY SPACE TIMES.)

So so unlikely. Damn it. Though, they could go the way they did with the introduction of Rhys. I mean one of the new characters could be a lesbian, with a girlfriend who slowly gets brought into it all. I'd be all right with that, and it'd play nicely into the gradual opening up of Torchwood. It'll never happen, but I can dream.

(I keep thinking about watching SG-1. Then it occurs to me I'd be sitting there the whole time thinking NEEDS MORE JOHN SHEPPARD, and that's probably missing the point.)

And that would be very good in lots of ways, yes! But why do I suspect even the Torchwood writers would consider that too gay, to which I respond with a hearty pfffft.

(I saw the first couple of series and then odd episodes here and there. I was unaware of JOHN SHEPPARD AND HIS AWESOMENESS then, obviously, but ye Gods it was dull at times. No flyboy hair and slouch.)

They'd probably think it was too realistic! I mean Rhys was kind of a Mary Sue supportive boyfriend, willing to be left at home whilst Gwen did Secret Job and Worked Long Hours. They had the occasional fight but he never pulled any truly sexist bullshit in the way that I think most men would do. So whilst I adore Rhys, he was kind of an unreal character. Or, he was real in the way that we all want someone to be. (Stepping down off box now.)

Yes, Rhys is sort of saintly, isn't he? *squishes him* And I guess they're going to want to bring someone in who shakes up the dynamic a bit, because we can't have happy-happy Gwen/Rhys and increasingly couple-esque Jack/Ianto forever, much as it pains me. Though what with the crazy short S3 we're getting, I guess that wouldn't be until a hypothetical Series 4.

I love Rhys. I want to make him soup and chat to him, and then leave him to domestic bliss. *snuggle*

I really wish we could. It would be such a turn-up for the books, and it's not as if there would be much of a drop in drama, given the life-endangering situations everyone ends up in every five seconds. But no, there must be relationship conflict. FEH.
