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?

I started watching Torchwood right from the very beginning the other day, which I found very, very hard to cope with (mostly due to Owen being a wanker and Ianto trying to be straight-ish... the latter just doesn't compute) because I started watching from the beginning of S2.

Ah yes, that's a little backwards! Also, there's the fact that Series 2 is just better all round. Mind you, as someone who watched it from the beginning it's be fun to go back to the early days now post-Fragments, when we finally understand why Owen was such a wanker etc. And hmm, you know, I wish Torchwood was the kind of programme that could actually contain a semi-serious conversation about sexual identity etc, because with Ianto we really have no idea. Did he think he was straight before he met Jack? Who knows!

Gwen: Have you ever eaten alien meat?
Jack: Yeah.
Gwen: What was it like?
Jack: Well, he seemed to enjoy it.
And basically, Meat: not-so-secretly All About Rhys' Peen.

I mean, adorably-badass/totally flustered!Ianto is one thing, but throw in Jack's casually overpowering sexuality and his abrupt exit and this is pretty much all I need for helpless laughter.

It's just perfect, it really is. And Ianto's little puff at the end there says it all. ♥!

Oh I love it. *le sigh* And your posts are hysterical, A. Muwuhahaha...

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
no subject
Oh good, glad to be entertaining somebody besides myself! :P

Was that seriously the only Janto stuff in the deleted scenes though? I thought they'd at least be nice enough to show us the outtakes from That Scene in Adrift-- or the snog that was supposedly deleted from Adam.
no subject
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*
no subject
Apparently so - only one I've seen posted, anyway, and I'm guessing the same person I got this from would have mentioned anything else. There was a kiss deleted from 'Adam', really? Ooh, that's quite interesting, because wasn't the general consensus that Jack and Ianto weren't hooking up in Adam's alt!verse? And I know lots of people were hoping for the super-extended kiss in 'To The Last Man' that the director made them do as a joke (which I still think is hysterical). Alas, it is not to be!
no subject
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.

I would so totally be playing at that too.

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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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.)

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.
