Best Quote:
Ianto: "Jones. Ianto Jones."

Best Dialog:
Jack: "Yeah, it´s quite excitable."
Ianto: "Must be the aftershave."
Jack: "Never wear any."
Ianto: "You smell like that naturally?"
Jack: "51st century pheromones. People have no idea."

Innuendo:
Ianto approaches Jack because he needs a fitting place to hide Lisa´s body until he can bring her back from the dead.
He is immediately attracted to Jack which confuses and frightens him.
Ianto always considered himself being straight. He had never felt sexually attracted to any man.
Jack feels the attraction, too, but at first he refuses to employ Ianto. He doesn´t want to have any feelings for Ianto
because he is immortal, and over the years he had lost too many he had loved.
In the end he can´t resist to take Ianto in. In the end he paves the way for certain heartbreak.

How many times does Jack die?
A lot. Present and Past.

Gwen:
She helps to free Ianto from the rubble he´s trapped beneath.

My Comment:
A top episode. A lot of background information for every character. The first moments between Ianto and Jack are very touching and intense.
I wished other series would show a gay relationship in this romantic and equally ordinary way. It begins like any relationship. There is nothing awkward or silly about it.
It´s romantic, sexy and kind of sad. (Because we all know how it ends.) *sigh* I love their story anyway.
