I was very curious about this slot (and the next two) because you do tend towards the more Manic/Defcon shipping than casual shipping...even so, excited to see where you go with it :)

LOL, this is true of me, as well. It's pretty silly but I somehow forget and do it over and over again.

I feel ya. There are certainly angst-free ships that I've enjoyed, but I don't know that I've ever actually shipped them? I don't know, I tend to need emotionally traumatising by ships in order to get attached, I think. Heh.

A few years before I had quit watching Bones because I just couldn't get onboard with two adults who were so obviously in love with each other being contrivedly kept apart.I never quit Bones (though as with every other TV show on earth, I'm multiple seasons behind on it), but I don't disagree with you on how ridiculous and drawn out the contrivances got. And I say that as someone who didn't even particularly want them together (I didn't hate the idea or anything, but I was fine with them just as friends, to be quite honest). But obviously I always knew that the show was ultimately going to put them together and have them live happily ever after, and at a certain point, even I ( ... )

I don't know what season it is with Bones, but I just remember this one episodes where Brennan is lamenting about just wanting to be with a good man and be happy, and then literally later that episode, Booth is like, "I want you, I want to be with you, I want to see where this can go" and she's like NO NO NO I CAN'T. I just remember being so done with it.

When Beckett and Castle finally get together, I believe my LJ post about it was something like: Thank you Castle for not being Bones! But aside from an emotionally satisfying arc, I think that show is so funny. They manage to make fun of all genres and have so many inside jokes and it's just a clever show. But it's also one you can take a break from and then come back to as time allows.

I just remember being so done with it.Yeah, it got really silly in that regard. I remember this one set point at the end of a season where it was utterly obvious that the show had strung things out as long as was remotely believable to even the most generous viewer, and so I assumed they were finally going there because duh... and then they introduced yet another pointless contrivance to prevent it happening that was clearly going to take at least another full season to resolve and I honestly sat there half wondering if maybe the actors secretly hated each other and didn't want to have to do intimate scenes or something, because it had become so completely absurd that not even some paranoid writerly/network Moonlighting ( ... )
