Re: OH DEAR GOD

[hallokatzchen]

I don't know if this counts as SJW-related, but I've seen posts about how Abbie and Ichabod shouldn't fall in love because we need more male/female relationships that aren't romantic, and people are acting like a woman loses what makes her strong the moment she has romantic feelings for a man.

Personally, I'd like to see them become more than friends (because I'm a sucker for romance). Providing the writers don't drop the ball, Abbie isn't going to lose who she is the moment she falls in love. Contrary to popular belief she can be a strong character and have a relationship at the same time. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

My one problem with hooking up the main characters is that it happens so often--it'd be nice to see a man and a woman protagonist in a drama actually staying friends. I shipped Mulder and Scully (though I didn't call it that back then) but the show really lost something when they actually got together.

But I don't think the character would lose a thing. The STORY would. Granted I'm talking about tv in general, I haven't seen this show.

That's my problem, too, the prevalence. Such relationships are generally formulaic and very predictable on TV. So if half the story's the romance/UST between the two leads and I know how that's going to go based on having seen it tons of times on other shows, then unless the other half of the story is spectacular (and given that it looks like it's basically a cop show with a dash of fish-out-of-water that's unlikely), I don't see why I should bother.

At this point, unless I'm in the market for a romance story, I don't even bother watching guy-girl lead shows anymore because I know that's what it's going to end up being.

You know, though, in XF, the show lost something before Mulder and Scully got together and by the time they explicitly got together it was in such a weird, not really real way that it was totally off putting, even to shippers like myself. Ugh, that was such a fucking fumble on CC's part.

I'm just excited that there is potential for a black woman/white man pairing. We are so underrepresented, it's ridiculous. :(

That's kind of what it means in television, though. It's more a symptom of bad writing than anything intrinsic to relationships, but characterization tends to go to the dogs once the "will they/won't they" issue is resolved.
