I'm reading the Children Of Earth scripts and man they had SUCH a cool parallel that they cut out of Children of Earth Day 4.
At the very beginning of the episode, when Clem is reacting to seeing Jack for the first time and points the gun at Jack, he says "You're in every nightmare I've ever had" and in the script Jack responds with "I'm sorry. If I could've taken your place, I would've done."
They cut Jack's line out of the scene, and instead just had Clem shoot him after he says "I'm sorry."
Later, when Ianto is dying in the Thames House, Ianto tells Jack he loves him and then grows too weak to keep his eyes open. Jack says "Stay with me! Stay with me, please!" and in the script, when Ianto opens his eyes again, Jack says "If I could swap places..." but doesn't finish the sentence.
I so wish they'd kept those parallel bits of dialogue in. Just two examples of the absolute futility of Jack's words when it comes to the consequences of his actions. Two examples of the way his immortality ruins both the lives of others around him and his own life. The complete inadequacy of apology and of useless offers of sacrifice, an 'if' that is completely impossible and whose sentiment can't really be considered a comfort.

Y’know I used to wonder how Jack seems to have forgotten his involvement with the 456 enough that he doesn’t immediately figure out it’s them as soon as shit starts to go down in Children of Earth considering it didn’t happen that long ago, relatively speaking…
Then, I remembered he’s been buried alive/refrigerated for a few millennia and all of a sudden I’m like ‘oh yeah, that tracks, actually…’

I really wish there was video footage of this photo shoot because 1. I'd love to know what they were thinking about some of these poses and 2. I want to see them screwing around and cracking up during these super serious photo ops. Because of course they did, right?

I’m gonna be totally honest - I can’t imagine why Ianto and Gwen are acting so shocked that Jack sacrificed children to the 456 as though they didn’t actively witness him sacrificing a child to the fairies about a year earlier. You know his moral compass. You know what and who he is willing to sacrifice because he’s done it before and he’ll do it again.
