Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

Yes Owen was my least favorite as well.

Season 1 & 2 of Torchwood had their ups and downs and I loved them ("Captain Jack Harkness", "Something Borrowed", "To the Last Man", "Adrift"... ♥), but CoE was just so emotionally intense and heart-wrenching, plus it looked so slick and polished, tight-plotted too and we got to met terrific new characters like Lois Habiba and John Frobisher.

And yes, even Ianto would agree with you that Jack doesn't love him as much as he loves Jack. Have you had the chance to listen to Torchwood audioplays? In "Dead Line" Ianto says as much to a sleeping/unconscious Jack (the speech is also featured in this amazing vid by di-br).

I do agree that COE was very powerful drama, I just didn't really understand at the time why so many people acted like TW was just a silly Sci Fi show before that. At the time it seemed that a lot of the viewpoints were either people who never liked TW and celebrated it as 'growing up at last' with COE, or those complaining about how COE betrayed the spirit of 'my favourite cracky show'. But there were always plenty of disturbing topics that the show looked at and took seriously?!

And thanks for those links :) I always felt like Janto could have been a really big ship of mine, but the show was so all over the place with them that they just never lived up to their potential for me. It's a shame because the actors had great chemistry
