These morons don't seem to realize that the really loyal fans don't watch for the SFX--we watch for the people. The kill-off-a-regular was a real innovation... on Hill Street Blues...20-odd years ago. Now it's become cliche and they don't even realize it.
I'm okay with it if it serves a purpose. But sometimes it's just like, hey! Look how dark and edgy and "realistic" we are! Happy endings are for pussies!
There was no purpose to Ianto's death except to show that they were willing to kill him.
