July 9, 2009: Ianto Jones Breaks Fandom's Heart For Eternity

This Week In Fandom History · Jul 12, 2026 · 56m

He tries his best! This week, Emily and V look at a fandom event that was listed on our research spreadsheet as, simply, "A HUGE FUCKING DEAL." Fandom has loved few characters the way it loved, and still loves, Ianto Jones of Torchwood. Unfortunately, he was created by a showrunner who hates fandom even more than most showrunners with the urge to Punish hate their female fans. Even so, fans' love for Ianto is -- like his love interest, Jack Harkness -- immortal.
