TBBT and HIMYM
Okay so I haven't done any of my anglophile weekend reaction post/reviews yet but I guess I'm feeling the need to do a Monday Night Comedy bit also known as...
( My unpopular opinions, let me show them to you )
( My unpopular opinions, let me show them to you )
I'm not even sure how it feels like I'm out of the habit. I have quite a history with non-canon and doomed ships. I mean, even Doctor/Rose was always combined with the worry for how the show could deal with it and maintain it's structure.
But let's examine even just some of my recent ships:
Adama/Roslin - dying on cancer
Lee/Kara - completely frakked up *and* doomed
Guy/Marian - bastard stabbed her himself (and I still manage to ship them)
Ned/Chuck - adorable but not able to touch
Jim/Pam - okay that one's actually good
Granted most of those have a canon reason for it (but so does it in the HIMYM case) even if it's twisted. I'm also a long standing and unrepentant Buffy/Giles and Harry/Hermione shipper. Again, why am I surprised my shipping tastes aren't in the norm?
I think you've posted stuff before that suggested you're a Ted/Robin shipper. That may be someone else on my flist though...
I'm sure I've hinted at it before, at least in the sense that while I was completely sold on Ted/Robin, Barney/Robin didn't quite gel for me, but I'm not sure I put it so...in contrast to each other before. I've tried to write a couple of meta bits on the subject but I can't seem to find the words for why B/R doesn't work for me.
