So I was happily geeking out and re-watching Sleeper to try and get a handle on just how we were supposed to be reading certain character's actions/behaviours/etc. In particular, yes, one aspect would involve Mr Jones. And I had just reached that part when the little lightbulb went 'BING!' in my brain and I was all set to do a lovely piece of meta when I looked online to discover that the ep's writer (James Moran) had already clarified it for us on his blog.

Bless him - it seems he is one of those souls who will seek out and read every review. And he will care. In his words as to why he does this:

"I'm a f**king writer. Most of us desperately crave love, unconditional love, from *everyone*. Give us a billion good reviews and one slightly sniffy comment, and we'll obsess about the sniffy one for months. We'll have that bastard *memorised*. I can still quote you the bad reviews Severance got, word for word. I can't for the life of me remember a single phrase from a good one."

He even went and read every entry over on Outpost Gallifrey. DUDE. Serious balls there, even I'm scared of OG.

( And because I may as well, putting down my reading on Ianto's sense of humour... SPOILERS for 'Sleeper' and mention of THAT spoiler from JB's autobiography... )

Oh, and I found another Ianto favourite quote: "It's almost obscene what you do to security systems."

And I still love Owen.

Yes, I've spent my day wisely and productively, can't you tell :)
