Fannish ponderings...

The lovely and effulgent liz_marcs asks: Who are your Top 5 OTPs? And that got me to thinking, and I shall reproduce my reply to that post here.

My number-one, cast-iron OTP is Spike/Fred, and I will never forgive the writers for having Spike go to Harmony after he got solid again instead of running to the lab and giving Fred a big ol' bearhug. However

Nothing wrong with sticking your favorites together. If you read my response to that post you'll note that's the whole reason for my writing of Spander.

I posted over there before I read the other responses and I now realize I left off John Crighton/Aeryn Sun, which is a pretty big one. Showing my age, so was Remington Steele/Laura Holt. I didn't watch Farscape for the ship but I sure watched Remington Steele for it.

Interesting point about Jayne's simplicity drawing Illyria.

were you really upset when Fred got together with Wes?

[agilebrit]

I wasn't upset that she got together with Wes so much as disappointed that she didn't get together with Spike, if that makes sense. I mean, I get where the writers were going with the whole Wes/Fred thing, and I understand why they did it...but I was still disappointed that they did it the way they did. Of course, had Spike/Fred happened, and then Illyria...OW. I mean, poor Wes can't ever catch a break, but neither can Spike, and Spike is my favorite, so it's this whole mix of emotions when I think about S5 in relation to whether they actually should have gone with Spike/Fred. I would have preferred that Lilah came back for S5 instead of that horrid bitch Eve, and then it could have been more Wes/Lilah and Spike/Fred, but this is why we have AR's, I guess.
