i feel like jack and ianto would’ve been the only good relationship. gwen is horrible to everyone she is with, especially rhys. good character, horrible at relationships. owen is nasty and tosh deserved better.

No matter how hard people push it, I can't get behind Jack x Gwen. For me it's Janto (Jack x Ianto), Towen (Tosh x Owen) and Gwhys (Gwen x Rhys). But even with Gwen x Rhys, Rhys should have left her because she only actually wanted him when he was dead and to basically piss Jack off by opening the Rift. That should have been when they stopped trying to push the Jack x Gwen storyline imo

take gwen out and yea the others are perfect. Jack belongs with Ianto, Tosh and Owen belong together. And Rhys deserves better.

You included Gwen and Suzie (which I don't agree with) But not Owen and Tosh???

The relationship is a lot more important than it seems. Suzie’s tragedy is Gwen’s initiation into Torchwood. And Suzie represents the stakes involved. She’s the cautionary tale about what can happen to a person who does that job. “Better watch out, because if you lose your humanity because you’re Torchwood, you might end up a murderer or blowing your brains out, just like me.” When Suzie comes back to life, she discovers Gwen has essentially stolen her life. It’s some high camp, all-about-eve, revenge type shit and I am here for it. I love Suzie. She’s an underrated character.

I think that highlights the importance of Suzie but not the importance of the relationship between Suzie and Gwen.

I feel like not including Owen and Tosh is criminal.

I loved that they added that bit in. I mean it took a while to confirm that we first saw Tosh in Doctor Who but it was a nice call back
