The RTD and his merry band of writers created fascinating characters and then gave them nothing interesting to do! Watching the episodes themselves became a means to an end. We needed to watch in order to see the characters but we were bored to tears over the plot.
And since the writers failed so very miserably where the first two seasons are concerned, it was our duty to take over for them.
Fandom!Ianto being a prime example. Carefully developed by such genius writers as sam_storyteller, they took all the canon characterizations of Ianto and gave him depth and humor and pain and all the things that make him beloved to me and so many others.
