Starz is (oddly) part of my standard digital package; I forget that it's extra for lots of people.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Damnit, now I have to add Starz to my cable package.

Yex. I will accept any completely implausible resurrection of Ianto. He can just be there with no explanation at all and that would be okay. I am willing to apply infinite suspension of belief for my Ianto.
However, I do not have Starz and am probably unwilling to pay for it unless there is Ianto. When he died, I was kinda ok with the series being done, because for me it kinda is done without him.
I may be slightly irrational on this matter.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yex was obviously a typo for Yes, but I'm leaving it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm of mixed opinions on resurrecting Ianto. Like so many others, I love the character. On the other hand, resurrecting him would kind of cheapen the effect of his death and its consequences. Or maybe "cheapen" isn't exactly the right word -- but there'd be something Not Right about looking at the strong reactions to Ianto's death and saying, "Sorry. Not really forever realz."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Whole lotta this, yes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yes. I agree with this. However, I am cheap when it comes to Ianto and I am fine with whatever mechanism it takes to get him back. Totally agree that it would cheapen the death. Totally agree that there is no reason whatsoever that would be narratively acceptable for him to be back.
Do not care. Want him back.
Hee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes, I am cheap. When it comes to Ianto, I am certainly cheap.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am also Liese on this matter.
When did I ever say I wasn't cheap, anyway?
