First this wasn't too long. You point by point brought out why this story is so bad. In the end I think we just watched 5 episodes used by RTD to indulge his desire to kill off a character that for the fans took on too much importance. I once though we, the fans, killed Ianto. You have to look hard and wide to find a story where Ianto isn't an integral part. Good, bad or indifferent Ianto lends himself to be written about...more even that Jack.

COE seems to have been written by people who have never heard of or seen an episode of either Doctor Who or Torchwood. Hmm, were do we think this might lead in a possible season four.
