I have been thinking about the fictional romances that have meant something to me: I blame Battlestar Galactica (at the moment) for bringing these ideas up
( Read more... )
Of course, when the producers decided to hook up David and Madelyn, Moonlighting went hugely down in fun factor. It was the tension that made them so much fun. When it was relieved, it turned too dramatic for my liking.
Even so, I don't know, what kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose.
But as they had a mouthpiece character say in the finale, they couldn't keep falling in love forever either. It is, I think, the severest problem facing open-ended stories.
I do so hope that they continue to allow the relationship between Richard Castle and Kate Beckett to develop naturally. It's probably my favourite fictional romance of recent history, and it would be damage the show if they frustrated it simply to keep the sexual tension high.
Because I love to hear myself talk, I'll mention that an item on your list and one on mine describes the distinction between me and my best friend for lo-these-many-years (first day kindergarten, actually). As a husband and father, my goal is to be Gomez Addams. His is to be Rob Petrie. Either way, both had totally hot wives, so it's all good.
