bait-and-switch

I'm sitting here with my jaw hanging open but that is probably the phrase I hear most often about some of the rage peopel feel about Ianto's death on Torchwood as various creators had said pre S3, that we'd really love CoE. And, while I did, a lot of people who were invested in it for Jack/Ianto _really_ didn't. The "false advertising" thing comes up over and over again, although in the case of Buffy I do see it as an intentional fake out, because at the end of "Seeing Red" you can't really be 100% sure Tara is gone.

As to what happened with CoE, I've not the energy to rehash and refute today.
