Very nice recap, Rhea. In fact, the only things I can add are completely frivolous… and all about Ianto. No surprise there.
(1) Golly, can our boy Jones run. That bit at the end when he’s trying to evade the barker… GDL has looong legs and he uses them well.
(2) The costumers really need to stop insisting that Gareth wear shades of red. His complexion and blue blue eyes are much more suited to the cool end of the color spectrum. I realize that Barrowman has the market cornered on blue shirts (and, y’know, yay for that), but they could easily put our “eye candy” boy back in purples, grays, and white like he was in series 1. Warm colors look much better on brown-eyed Burn Gorman, anyway.
(3) We finally got to see Ianto smile! Not smirking or smug or trying to be brave, just genuinely happy to be watching old movies in an old theater, and later listening to Jack’s tales of yore. I know the writers like to make the characters suffer because it makes for the drama, but I’m so glad when they give us quiet little moments like these.
(4) And I have to mention my favorite bit of dialog from this episode.
Jack: “Ianto, you’re with me. I need your local knowledge.”
Gwen: “Is that what they’re callin’ it these days?”
