Yes, exactly. It felt like they were going for a cross between "Something Wicked" and "The Ring," which could've been awesome; but not in an hour.

I don't mind Jack crying, pretty much ever (when he's done it), because he's got more of a range (and also Barrowman is a naturally very expressive person, more so than the character, so it's nice to see it creep in); but Ianto does come off a bit emo, yeah, gotta say.
