The good, the bad, and the obvious
I've decided to list all of the pairings that have preoccupied me this year. At least, all of the ones I can remember. Some of these, I have to say, are insane.
The Clichés
Stuart/Vince [QAFUK] - old hat, admittedly, but I couldn't leave this one out. It was my first. Sigh.
Aziraphale/Crowley [Good Omens] - shut up, they so are.
Fraser/Vecchio [Due South] - I've believed in this one since I was about six.
Jack/Ianto [Torchwood] - all together now: awwwwwww.
Drumroll:
House/Wilson [if you don't know I'm not telling you] - Best. Pairing. Ever.
The slightly-less-ubiquitous-but-nonetheless-not-especially-imaginative
Dakin/Irwin [The History Boys] - disability should not stand in the way of screwing!!! (See above)
Jackson/Spencer [Starter For Ten] - I know, I know, Rebecca Hall is hot. But even so.
The RPS (AKA the bad)
This is where it starts to get worrying.
Robert Sean Leonard/Hugh Laurie - no explanation needed.
Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert - it makes me happy.
Ryan Stiles/Colin Mochrie - even though it's kinda funny, it still is really weird.
John Dickerson/David Plotz - both Slate.com contributors. I can't defend this one. So wrong, and yet... no, just wrong.
Mark Kermode/Simon Mayo - I include some illustrative and paraphrased dialogue, because this is not as crazy as it sounds:
Mark: This will be our first Christmas together, won't it?
Simon: Yes it will. The guest is looking at us strangely.
Mark: The world is polymorphously bisexual! I fancy Richard Gere!
Simon: I'm not polymorphously bisexual.
Mark: Well, fine.
Mark: Only one person gets to wake up next to me. [He is married. Aren't they all?]
Simon: Yeeeees.
Mark: To be honest, when Daniel Craig came out of the water wearing those tight blue shorts, I wasn't paying much attention to the coherence of the narrative.
WTF?
Unk/Stony Stevenson [Sirens of Titan] - don't even ask.
...
Well, I think that's about it. I know that was a pointless exercise, but... yeah.
