Oy, "Cyberwoman". That was...just awful. I mean, the show's kinda rocky, but that really sank to new lows (it made me cringe more than Supernatural, which is my current benchmark of eyerolling). The actor playing Ianto is neither talented nor attractive, IMO (his bland looks could be saved if there were a personality there, but I haven't detected one yet), and that episode dragged everyone down to his level. Even John Barrowman seemed to be channeling Ten, rather than Nine, and shouting ineffectually.
Just no chemistry between Ianto and Jack, despite Barrowman's efforts. I've seen him with better actors, and he tends to rise to the occasion - he was better with Kevin Kline, and he was at his best with CE.
