The Stolen Earth


Ianto: Activates a computer screen. Laughs with the studio audience. Puts a hand over his mouth. Feels for Martha. Goes off the computer. Sits alone. Waits for the end. Jumps up and heads back to the computer. Listens to the message. Looks glad that Martha is still around. Listens to Jack. Transmits. Plugs in a big power cable. Makes a comment about the Doctor's age. Reports to Gwen. Asks Gwen to take over the controls. Says good-bye. Swallows. Moves around. Types. Takes a machine gun. Aims and fires.


Janto: Ianto laughs with the studio audience about a joke on TV. Jack bawls at Ianto for laughing. Ianto is fine with it. Jack touches Ianto's shoulder. Ianto keeps looking at Jack. Jack looks at Ianto. Ianto asks Jack a question. Jack kisses Ianto. Jack says they are dead. Ianto marvels about Jack saluting. Ianto gapes at Jack. Jack asks Ianto to come over and take the controls. Ianto helps Jack into his coat. Ianto plays it cool when Jack leaves to fight against the Daleks.
Best Quote:
Ianto: "Yes, ma'am." (to Gwen)

Best Dialogs:
Jack: "Whoa, what happened? Was it the Rift? Gwen? Ianto? You okay?"
Ianto: "No broken bones. Slight loss of dignity. No change there then."

Jack: "Ianto. Time and a place."
Ianto: "He is funny, though."

Jack: "I met a soldier in a bar, long story."
Ianto: "When was that?"
Jack: "Strictly professional."

Jack: "I've got to go. I've got to find the Doctor. I'll come back. I'm coming back."
Gwen: "Don't worry about us. Just go."
Ianto: "We'll be fine".
Jack: "You'd better be."

Innuendo:
Ianto and Jack are in a solid relationship. There is no reason for Ianto to be jealous about a random soldier or Jack's deep emotions for Gwen.
Though the grief over the loss of Tosh and Owen is still palpable between the three companions. Ianto tries to repress his concern for Jack.
Jack pretends he has no concern for Ianto's safeness whatsoever.

Look
Touch
Kiss
Fight


How many times does Jack die?
None.

Gwen:
Gwen phones Rhys and warns him. She asks him to take care of her mum. Jack kisses Gwen on the forehead. Gwen sits alone on the sofa, waiting for the end.
Gwen returns a distress call. Gwen fetches machine guns. She gives one to Ianto. She and Ianto are a team.

My Comment:
A solid episode with a few nice moments, but I'm not into Dr. Who. Never was. Sorry.

Dear Janto
