Re: POI spoilers

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I know a lot of people were very pleasantly surprised and happy with the "Person of Interest" one :D! Not familiar with "Spartacus", but that's great that they didn't shy away from it, either, after all that buildup. I hope more shows can take that kind of initiative if the storyline looks to be going that way. I do think as time goes on, we will see that becoming more and more common :). I hope so.

I've shipped so many non-canon pairings... SO many. I don't either; I'm used to them being only subtext.

Same here :D. I think there's, like, two or three that became canon or were canon from the start (Niles and Daphne on "Frasier", Noblet and Geoffrey on "Strangers with Candy"-in a very twisted way, mind, but still, they were in a relationship). Otherwise, yeah, most of mine are still in "close friends" territory.

You have an excellent point there. Couples can't stay happy, something always has to pop up and cause drama; happy couples are considered 'boring'. That irritates me as well, even though in some cases it can work for the characters and story, it often just feels like a shallow attempt to encourage angst.

Exactly. Like you said, sometimes it can work-couples WILL have arguments and disagreements, that's a given. But like you said, so often it's just angst for angst's sake. Couples can still have drama and struggles once they're together, but that struggle can come from outside the relationship, too. The fun and spark and intrigue would come in watching how the couple works together and supports each other through whatever they're dealing with.

I've never seen "Castle" or "Bones" either, but I have heard through various discussions about what's going on with "Castle" lately-that was on my mind as I typed that about "keeping couples together", actually :p. I don't blame fans for being frustrated in those moments.

Exactly! And "Will they/won't they" can be rewarding. (There's a certain point for me where it stops being entertaining and starts being frustrating and anger inducing, but before that point it's beautiful.)

Agreed :). You are right about the entertainment only lasting so long, though-eventually that back and forth does have to be resolved somehow. Either the couple gets together, or they acknowledge their feelings/talk it out and agree to be friends/realize that they don't feel that way about the person anymore, and move on and find someone else.

It can be a tough dance to do, though, for sure, figuring out just how long the infatuation and crush can last. Especially depending on the character. Are they one who can move on easily, or are they someone who can carry that torch for years? If it's the latter, it can be tough to make that work in a way that doesn't make the person seem pathetic or WAY too hopeful or creepy or whatever.
