Yay, "Frasier" secret!

I don't need my ships to be canon-I'll love them no matter what. But I certainly wouldn't complain if any of them got together, because there is indeed a nice little thrill in seeing a couple you've rooted for finally getting together and being happy.

(Happy as I was to see Niles and Daphne get together, I will admit that the particular circumstances surrounding this scene and all that happened afterward weren't exactly ideal, to put it mildly.)

Yeah, I wasn't terribly fond of how they got together either. I sort of got why they did it, but it took the fun out of the moment. And then not that long after they had that arc where Daphne had some kind of weight problem because of their relationship. I know it was to cover up the actress' pregnancy, but it was a bit disappointing.

This is a main reason why I don't really need my ships to become canon. Because there's always the chance it'll get screwed up somehow. I like it best when they get together towards the very end of the series. Or something like House MD where House and Wilson weren't exactly romantically involved at the end, and yet few people would deny they loved each other and were (in a way) 'endgame'.

Yeah, I love the whole thing of them running off together, but at the very least, I would've taken out the thing of Niles being married. And I wouldn't have done the whole "Donny and Mel seek revenge" thing, either. Obviously they had every right to be angry, and I appreciate that the show did acknowledge that, but I would've preferred the show handle that aspect of things in a different manner.

The one thing I did like about the weight storyline was that episode where Frasier and Niles discuss the fact that Niles did tend to idealize Daphne and put her on a pedestal. I thought that was an interesting bit of honesty that you normally don't see addressed on TV shows after a couple gets together.

Yeah, I can definitely understand that. I tend to feel the same way a lot of the time. I think if the writing is just right, it IS, or should be, possible to write a well-done relationship on a show after the will they/won't they is all said and done. But so many shows don't seem to know how to do that "after they get together" part very well, for some reason.

Agreed. That was the one thing that made that arc worthwhile. The rest of it was pretty silly, even that particular episode considering it was mostly old clips and bad SFX, but that idea always stuck with me. The show often tried to do things like that, but for me this was probably the most successful one. Maybe even because the contrast was so stark.

I love the show but I hated the weight arc, they just threw a lot of really mean-spirited, stupid fat jokes into what was otherwise a very intelligently written show. There could have been better ways to handle the actress' pregnancy. I always skip those episodes.
