here for this as long as the leads have the same insane chemistry david and gillian did

[januarysix]

their chemistry was an x-flle in itself

[genbu_no_miko24]

For real first episode in and I was like "oh they were totally fucking OMG" cause the chemistry really was palpable.

[xpirate_queenx]

Seriously. Has anything ever come anything remotely as close?

[masterofmystery]

i have no clue but those two still stand as my top tv couple, like i can't think of any other pair that came close

[januarysix]

They invented the term "shipping"

[pretty_angel]

It's always so funny when you have fandom youths be like "idk why it's called shipping..." and I'm like sit down, kid, let me tell you the tales of the olden days.

[recognitions]

I thought that was Kirk/Spock

[januarysix]

They invented the term slash. as in K/S

[frelling_tralk]

The term came from The X-Files originally, the fandom was divided into the shippers who wanted to see a romantic relationship, and the noromo’s who thought that romance would ruin the show

[para1]

Sure, they were other couples with insane chemistry. But no other show managed to draw out "will they or won't they get together" for close to a decade without it getting stale, old, or stupid.

They wanted to avoid the "Moonlighting" curse
