I have trouble understanding Ianto's proposition in They Keep Killing Suzie. Such behaviour would make more sense if Tosh hadn't overheard his thoughts, although I wouldn't want to lose that scene because I think it summarises his role in s1 so well - following his 'no questions asked and that's the way you like it' speech in Cyberwoman rather nicely, and sitting alongside similarly gloomy references to Emily Dickinson and the Book of Revelations.
Sometimes I wonder if the team really learnt anything from what happened to Ianto because they seem to quickly forget, or perhaps they simply don't want to confront the matter - they are all, with the possible exception of Jack, taken aback in Countrycide when Ianto reminds them about Lisa.
I might be wrong, but I have this nagging feeling that I read something about the episodes being originally composed in a different order and rearranged during filming, the consequence being that Greeks Bearing Gifts is a little out of sync - they did this again in s2. Or perhaps I've just made that up in order to cope with the inconsistent development of Jack and Ianto's relationship... I blame RTD. Even bloody Josh Whedon had a better grip on characterisation.
