TV Romances

Nov 14, 2008 14:13

I was just looking for some pics and I ran across a spoiler-ish picture that kinda rubs me the wrong way. Not because of the relationship in the picture, but the picture portrayed a relationship period. Here's where I rant and get my annoyances off my chest.

Romantic Relationships in TV Shows (mentions of CSI and SG-1, spoilers for SGA) )

show: sga, show: sg1, show: csi

How about Warrick and Catherine? I thought that was quite cleverly done because I actually didn't think anything was happening until ... one episode. I forgot which. Also in the recent ones you can tell she really liked him.

Grissom/Sara has been happening for ages I thought. I don't think it's so bad because it's not TOO overt. I guess they are trying to say something more about the character by showing how they'd react romantically (i.e. Sara felt Grissom was 'emotionally unavailable' because he is most certainly in love with his work)

It doesn't bother me unduly. I see what you mean in that you think they are just adding it in so that there IS a love interest in the show. It IS annoying if unnecessary. I'm not sure I follow you in that you don't like that it was brought up? For most of the episodes it is very subtle so I didn't feel it was the domineering theme in the series, if you know what I mean.

*cry* I haven't seen the recent episodes of CSI though which makes me sad. My internet has been down (I am using USB modem internet which is too limited and slow to download episodes - which is what I have to do to be really ON THE PULSE with CSI ... because I am in the England)

I can't comment on SG tho. xD

I had no problem with Warrick/Catherine for the same reasons as you, and I didn't mind the Grisson/Sara flirting, either. I just didn't like how it "came out" and was a focus of quite a few episodes. I like undertone and unresolved sexual tension that you know is there, but it isn't exactly said. Its adds something of excitement to it all. :)

Plus, it takes away from the main point of the story - the murder! hehehe

Ah I see what you mean. I DO understand but at the same time I do always like it when it's 'resolved' in the end. It can be really frustrating when they don't. In the original (English) version of the Office there was a fantastic relationship like that, which was never resolved, but RIGHT at the end, they did and it was really sweet, I think I cried XD

However sometimes they do "end" that tension a bit quickly, and afterwards it's not the same! If you ever have seen Frasier you'd know what I mean!
