Re: Which ship do you prefer?

I'm the same. Danny.Sam isn't a bad pairing. It could have been great in theory. But in practice? It was awful. I remember reading in places that Butch is extremely fond of Sam and always wrote very glowingly of her in the transcripts.

If that's true, then I can't help but suspect that his fondness might have clouded his perception of her making it so he didn't really recognize her flaws. It's god to like your character but you can't let that overshadow how you portray them. It's depressing because I like Sam as a character, but I think Sam with her flaws is more interesting than Sam the Perfect and Wise Girlfriend.

Yeah, it really bugs me when certain characters becomes a very obvious Creator's Pet and eventually change into a borderline mary-sue when they were previously an engaging and interestingly flawed character. Poor Sam.

Yeah.

I would have liked to see a Sam that was shown as passionate, outspoken and socially aware, but also hypocritical pushy,self centered and maybe...not always right.

But eh at least I can write that version of her in fanfiction.
