Beginning Notes: badly-knitted and I love Janto I actually view Jack's cheating as kind of a boundary pushing behaviour. I have the opinion that in the 51st Century boundary pushing behaviour is not something a person grows out of; because humanity had spread to other planets (various different living conditions), living with aliens to various degrees etc., that boundary pushing behaviour used to gain a measure of a person.
Also with Gwen, I think it was milady_dragon who pointed (at least was the first person I came across who pointed it out) out how selective and random Gwen's sympathy was. I think what really stuck out to me was in "Small Worlds" was that Gwen was overly sympathetic towards the dead paedophile. It always came across to me as though she was sympathetic to him was because he was human while killer/s were not, which as a life-long Trekkie rubbed me the wrong way. Also did anyone else thought it was strange that this "empathic, compassionate, caring" person couldn't give two shits about the potential victim of this paedophile that he admitted to attacking when he turned himself in?

"Ianto?"
"Sorry sir, I was just retrieving this. Here you go sir."
"What's this?"
"It is a mop sir. Someone needs to clean up after Myfanwy and I feel it is fitting that the person who fed him pizza should be the one to clean up the resulting mess."

Word: Undertapster
un - der - tap - ster (noun) : an assistant or understudy to a tap dancer.
End Notes: This is the first of the unusual words that the random word generator threw out at me. I didn't even know this word existed and it isn't even in .
Ianto knows that Jack gave Myfanwy the pizza because he knows everything (actually it is because Jack went into "bullshit Ianto" mode rather than offer to give a talk to Owen or threaten Gwen with cleaning up). Also as the archivist Ianto will have come across Jack's employee files and know he was no-where near America in the late 40's - early 50's.
Can I just say that I buy into the theory that Myfanwy is a male pteranodon and not a female pterodactyl, just makes it funnier.
