As promised, I have made a whole new list! Hope you like it!
10. Lorelai & Luke - Gilmore Girls
One of those couples that you knew would get together, but didn't know when. It was one of the highlights of the otherwise drab fourth season. Their moments together were the sweetest ever. It's funny that everyone else could see how well matched they were except Lorelai and Luke themselves. Best moment is their first kiss. Runners up are Lorlelai singing to Luke, and the proposal.
09. Syd & Vaughn - Alias
The tension between the two during th first season is unbearable! And when they finally kissed it was such a relief. It pained me to watch them separated in the third season, and more when he "Died" in season 5. They made a great, cute couple. Their best moment was the kiss from Phase One hands down.
08. Zoe & Wash - Firefly
I love them so much. An odd couple at first, but you quickly grow to see how much they love each other, and how well suited they are too. With them calling each other 'Dear' evey five minutes, you just can't help but see how much they love each other. One of their best moments was when they first met. Who can forget that mustache!
07. Dexter & Rita - Dexter
Although I'm a Lila fan (And I'm clearly in the minority with that!), I love Rita more. She and Dexter are perfect together. Dexter is clearly full of darkness, but so is Rita is a different way. I loved watching their relationship develop over the course of the first season. Their breakup in the season 2 was painful to watch. Their best moments together are any of those that they spend with Cody and Aster. So cute!
06. Starbuck & Lee - Battlestar Galactica
Though not officially a couple, you know that it is inevitable. I wish they had gotten together again after their short lived night together in 'Unfinished Business'. They have had a few moments since then, but nothing major. I really want them to be together officially, so why do I have to wait this long?! I know people don't really like Lee that much, but you can't really deny that they make a hot couple! Best moment, as I've already said, their night together in 'Unfinished Business'.
05. Brennan & Booth - Bones
I'm a little behind, but I'm fairly sure they haven't gotten together yet. But it's killing me that they won't just do it, and let us all breathe! Once they do though, I fear the show will lose one of its best aspects. They have had so many great moments together, so I will never be able to pick just one! Like other couples it's only them who don't see the attraction between them. You can feel it every single scene they share together.
04. Izzie & Denny - Grey's Anatomy
The only great couple in a show all about couple and it ended in death. Alex, no. George, God no. Denny, perfect. The writers built up their relationship so well throughout the season. It's no wonder that it attracted so many fans. Dizzie are the greatest pairing to come out of the show. The overly annoying Meredith and Derek don't even come close. It's hard to pick a best moment out of all of them, but if I had to, they would probably be Denny's proposal and Izzie's breakdown after he died, that just broke my heart ƒ¼
03. Anya & Xander - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Anya and Xander went so well together, why it didn't work out really saddens me. I loved all of their moments together all up to that heartbreaking episode in season six, when Xander leaves her at the altar. I really wish she would have survived in the end, and that her and Xander were still together. I am happy things ended well before she was killed. Best moment is probably when Xander proposed in the Gift.
02. Allison & Joe DuBois - Medium
The best married couple on TV. They are written like the perfect well oiled marriage machine! Though they have had many spats over the course of the show, you just can't help but smile that they have survived it all! You can' mention them without mentioning their family as they are almost part of the couple too! Their best moments include the season 2 finale, and the very end of the season 4 finale, two very cute moments!
01. Willow & Tara - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I defy anyone to find a single person who dislikes this couple. So it comes as no surprise that they are the top of my list. They are romantic, beyond cute, sweet and it kills me that it never worked out. Kennedys great and all but, she certainly isn't Tara. Your heart shattered to see Willow lose her. From her first appearance, you knew Tara was the one for Willow. They had so many great moments together; the entire episode 'Family' is probably the best example. I don't even have to mention that kiss from the Body. Nobody will ever forget this TV couple. Joss, why did you end it like you did?!
Comic Book Land
I finished The Long Way Home. I have to say, though I did like it, it was a little strange at times. Not just because of the comic book format, but because the story itself was a little too "Big". I see Joss loves not having a bidget, but an army of Zombies is a little overkill. I loved that Joss has retained a lot of his trademark humour in the comics. And it was nice to see Willow, Buffy and Xander together again. The twilight plot is interesting, though it's not making a lot of sense right now. I'm sure that it will soon.
Private Practice finished this week. The season finale was as slow as the rest of the season. The only character I really liked was Violet. She was played to perfection to Amy Brenneman. The rest are quite annoying. Pete and Naomi are very wooden, very rarely showing any interesting traits. Sam falls into line with them. Dell is a silly character with hardly any place in the show. Cooper is one I actually like, he's probably my second favorite. I'm against all Charlotte King haters, she has really grown on me. A lot of the stories seemed like recycled Grey's Anatomy some of the time. I will give the show a break as the writers strike cut it short before it realised it's potential. I might return if it is shown in the summer when I have more free time!
Grey's Anatomy has climbed up my list. It's back to great episodes again. It seems with Prvate Practice off the air the show benefits! I want more Izzie though. Since she has been ignored by the writers, Cristina has overtaken her as the best character on the show. Lexie is also underused. She has to be given more than sucking up to her moaning b&tch of a sister.
I just received a new editorship for Dania Ramirez. I had submitted and hadn't gotten them sorted so tv.com must have moderated them and retired the editor. Since they seem to have been gone for a while, I decided to go for the guide. It's nice to have it since I am one of the few fans of her on Heroes.
It's been a slow week really. Not much has happened. I'm just waiting until I get an official start date for university. Ahh, scary!
Comments
I felt weird thinking of Dexter and Rita as a couple, in that he doesn't really feel love for her as such (in the normal way) but I love the way Rita loves him in season 1
Willow and Tara are too cute; great respect for Joss for creating a gay couple which, as you pointed out, no one can hate.
And you've completely hit the nail of the head how I feel about the Buffy comics. They're fun and they make me laugh (classic Buffy humor and all) but its all just kind of too "big". So in the end, I just seperate them from each other in my mind; Buffy TV one side Buffy comics the other...makes sense to me even if it sounds crazy
Willow and Tara are adorable, you just can't not like them. They're so cute. I like Private Practice, but I think I agree with you on most of the characters. Naomi, Sam, Charlotte, Dell and occasionally Pete, really annoy me. I'm still loving Addi though!
Violet and Cooper are great, too.Congrats on the new editorship!
I love the Willow/Tara and Anya/Xander relationships too - but then like you said, I don't really know who doesn't!
Definitely agree about the Booth/Brennan relationship too - I want them to get together, but it's so much fun with them just as friends at the moment, I wouldn't want that spoilt with lots of relationship drama... I could comment on loads more but I won't ramble
(except 6&2, which I don't know)I am in a minority because I also liked Lorelai with Rory's father. They were kind of cute as well.
And I always liked Alex and Izzie. Dizzie was great but so was Alex comforting Izzie in that hospital scene. That was a time when I really liked that show. Agree, by the way, Mer & Der are boring. I tuned in lately and saw an episode with a great Christina. There was some buzz about that one because of a photo on the board and I had a look. You might be right and I should give it another go.Syd and Vaughn in season one and two were great. The later seasons were decent but a letdown compared to the beginning IMO. And Zoe and Wash in Out of Gas - soooo wonderful!
The kid speech and the death in the movie? *sobs*Dexter and Rita are awesome. I do think that Dexter loves her in his way but that's just me and wishful thinking.
But it's killing me that they won't just do it, and let us all breathe!
And the Buffy favorites.
Willow and Tara - clearly the healthiest relationship in the Buffyverse! Good choice. And Xander leaving Anya at the Altar plain sucked.I haven't seen much of PP but I do like Cooper, I like the actor in general. And congrats on your editorship, you are not alone, I like her as well.
Sorry for being so long - great read.
Trip and T'Pol from Star Trek Enterprise could have been another. Clark and Lana from Smallville. Michael and Fiona from Burn Notice. I could go on all day... but won't.
Congrats on the new guide. Slow weeks are good if you have been busy so enjoy it.
And I agree with all of the things you said about them. Izzie & Denny is the only couple I can stand on the show (unless they make Lexie and George into a couple soon). Anya & Xander were both silly and funny and I loved them! I can't agree more with the Dubois being the best married couple on TV. Their portrayal is so real, it's freaky sometimes (in a good way). Congrats on the new guide! Have fun at the university!
It's weird for me to see the actor who plays Cooper on the show because I watch Prison Break. Good luck in school!
Great list, I like a lot of those pairings.
Luke and Lorelai!! I can't wait to see the episodes where they get together. They're relationship is one of my favourite things about GG. Some of their sweet moments together are the best bits about the show. My favourite was when they were at the 24 hour dance thing and they both told each other that they want children... with the right person
It was just the sweetest moment!Zoe and Wash were great together, they were very different but they obviously loved each other.
Dexter and Rita are great together, if Dexter was ever found out for who he really is, Rita finding out and would be the worst betrayal of all. Dexter really loves her even if he can't admit it.
Aw poor Izzie and Denny, like you said porbably the best Grey's couples. It was so sad when he died.
I think Xander and Anya are my favourite Buffy couple. She really matured Xander and it broke my heart that he left her at the altar, which I think is easily Xander's lowest moment. Plus after they split he was kinda boring and not as good as he was when he was with her
Tara and Willow were great together, though I must confess I think I prefer Willow with Oz probably because I love Oz. Tara and Willow were so sweet together. I'm just re-watching the end of s6 atm and it was so sad to see Tara go
I loved the bit in the episode before when they get backtogether though
Thanks!jellybean Dexter does love her though. It may be in a weird way, but he's very protective of her, and the kids. I think its sweet. And I'm thinking of the comics and show separatley aswell. It doesnt feel like a proper follow up either. Its not the same without Sunnydale.
Pabloexobar Totally agree. One example of that is Kate and Jack. No chemistry if you ask me. Sawyer all the way.
Neil Yay, smae #1!! And why the syd/vaughn hate? You prefer her with someone else?
heroesfan Thanks! Not a Maya fan then?!
I have to agree about Meredith and Derek being annoying.
But on the other hand, I liked Izzie and Alex together, at first. Altough I have nothing against Denny.Anya and Xander are great, and this pairing made me like Xander a lot more. Anya proves to be a great match for Xander exactly because of how unique she is. She's got a sense of humor Xander loves and is very literal about the way she views things. It's also extremely fitting that their relationship begins with pure sex, something Xander's always spent a lot of time thinking about. For a while it appeared as though this relationship wasn't going anywhere, but Hush showed that there is something more to this relationship than sex. That, however, was only the beginning for these two. Throughout the rest of the season their bond only continued to grow. It's in S5 that Xander realizes just how much he seriously loves Anya and takes a big step forward in the relationship. It's just unfortunate that Xander thinks pure love alone is enough reason to get married. As for your number 1, I love it.
I believe that Tara is certainly a positive companion for Willow. Their relationship, which is inextricably tied to magic, is also of interest. I can say that the way her relationship with Tara was handled was superb. It began as a pure friendship based on the mutual love of magic. At some point in the latter half of S4 it became something more. I really appreciated how gradual and natural this development was - this is a touchy subject that could have easily been botched by gratuitous scenes. Instead, the more racy stuff was left to subtext while the focus of the screentime between them was on their friendship and care for one another. I was sad to see Tara go, and I was even more upset to see her being replaced by Kennedy.
mafalada Oh, I do like Christopher aswell! He Gigi, lorelai and rory were a cute family! Don't remind me of that death
sylentassasin Clark and Lana are *vomits*. Nice to start with but after 7 years of the same cr*p over and over it just gets annoying. But Mal & Inara were great aswell.
hari Im not surprised about the hate mail. A lot of people would prefer if willow just stayed straight with Oz, so his fans were probably the majority of those hate mails!
gmvail I don't know about anya and xander as friends. its too sad to see!
mack Don't ruin Lexie for me with that pathetic fool! And I agree about allison and joe being real.
xlovedust His death made their relationship very epic! And PP is no way as good as GA! And sam and dell are awful, so I can't agree with you there!
funky You'll love them together! Soooooo cute! Definitley Xanders lowest moment too. I will admit I do like Oz aswell. It would just be weird to put him in this list with tara in it too!
elextricpeppers how come?
raluka Alex and Izzie got annoying. Too drwn out. Almost as annoying as derek and meredith. Totally agree that the development was gradula, it wasn't forced.
