I think a lot of Who-Verse fans are in the same position. We have perfectly valid reasons for not liking CoE - not only doesn't it make sense within the Who-Verse, it doesn't make sense in any respect a lot of the time - but we just get accused of not liking it solely because they killed Ianto.

I'll admit I think killing Ianto was unnecessary to the plot (such as it was), but by the end of Day One I was pulling apart all the plot holes and rolling my eyes about how little sense it was making, and it just went downhill from there. There were a few brief moments when it seemed like Torchwood, but most of it was a nonsensical mess. There were so many things that bugged me, I couldn't suspend my disbelief for more that a few minutes at a time before the plot fell down another gaping hole.
