Okay, this is sparked by a post from alliecat8. (And I could have sworn I responded to the post, but I don't see my reply. Huh. I did type something, and it appeared to have gone through. *iz confused*) Anyway

Yes, it does. It's funny that our minds could work similarly like that.
Two things about your reply...
First, I've realized that I can classify the shows that I watch into categories: ones that I watch for the characters, ones that I watch for the plots, and ones that I watch for both. The last category is the type of show that really hooks me into a fandom (such as Lost, WaT, and LFN), but it is the hardest type of show to sustain my interest in, because if either the characters or the show is not as good as it used to be, I just don't like it as much. That seems to be the case with WaT this year. It's not that it's bad. It's just that neither the characters (which includes the Sam/Martin stuff, but also includes Elena, the inconsistant characterization, etc.) nor the plots (overall--there have been some good ones mixed in) have been as good this season. At least in my opinion.
Second, it's not that I need a Sam/Martin romance. It's that I need the possibility of it. For you it is that the canon showed you a strong friendship and then took it away (btw, I just watched "The Little Things" and I haven't gone to comment anywhere yet, but wow, that was great Martin/Danny interaction!), while for me it is that the canon had a Martin/Sam romance and then took it away. I would have been fine if they hadn't done the romance in the first place, because I could have envisioned scenarios (fanfic) in which they got together. Because they did get together and screwed it all up, it makes my imaginings harder. *sigh* Oh well.
So you saw the glasses thing? Quite a few funny/slashy icons were made of that scene! *grin* And, I'm telling you, wait for the S/J scene in Exodus...
