1. One opinion that I guess is unpopular is that I never really cared about Owen much. I know that no one was that keen on him at first, but by the end of series 2 it seems like he had grown on a lot of people and they were mourning his death, but I just never warmed to him
2. In retrospect the Janto relationship was more fanon than canon. The show did make them more intense in Children Of Earth, but for most of series 1 and 2 they happened off-screen and I felt like the writers cared way more about getting the audience invested in Jack and Gwen. I believe that Ianto had deep feelings for Jack, but I'm not sure if Jack was ever in romantic love with him in the same way
3. I think that Children Of Earth is a little bit overhyped, it seemed like it became the popular viewpoint to treat COE as the time when TW got serious and dismiss the earlier show completely as complete crack? Don't get me wrong, COE was very powerful drama, but no less so than episodes like Fracture or Sleeper were from series 2 IMO, but it just seemed like people forgot all that after COE and remember the entire series as being nothing but jokes about blowfish driving a sports car?
And I have more opinions, but I don't think that they go against popular fandom opinion, so I'll have to leave it at three XD
