'I thought he was joking - but he really is a twisted bit of work.' Every time someone tries to justify Russell making very rude comments by saying 'he was just joking, get over it' all I can think is, 'No, I'm pretty sure he wasn't'.
'That probably explains why I was completely dry-eyed during the big Ianto death scene and the Steven scene as well (which was just plain repulsive).' Me too. Ianto's death I saw coming from a mile away (I felt really bad for Gareth being out of work, but that was about it) and I've give Gareth most of the credit for creating Ianto, and the fact that Steven was little more than a prop and his death was used for shock value just added to the DO NOT WANT of him being a child that was killed. If that's RTD's idea of drama, I'll have to pass.
