The "romances" in general have been forced, excessive, in that they've
been 
rushed. It's typical of series where everything in an episode happens
within 
a week's or sometimes a few days' time. On top of that is the rapid-fire 
nature of them: Gwen / Jack, Gwen / Owen, Owen / 20th century pilot, Jack
/ 
Ianto, Jack / Jack, Jack / John, Tosh / alien, Tosh / Owen, Tosh / WW2 
soldier, Ianto / Cyberwoman. Jack was a known commodity going in, but can
no 
one on the show keep it zipped?

In a few days, characters meet, fall in love, sleep together or meet,
sleep, 
love; right within weeks of hooking up with someone else.
