Obviously they're going to hit bumps in the road, but... it's always going to come back to the fact that they love each other.
*wibbles* I've been trying so hard to contain myself and not flail incoherently at you because it is so hard for me to say not-spoilery things, and you have to see it. Oh, God, you're gonna love it. Farscape is one of the only shows to consistently get UST right. They are so the most OTP ever, I don't even have words.
But the thing is, it's not UST! At least not how I see it. They're not going around having all this beautiful tension and not DOING anything about it. Instead they are openly affectionate with each other, risk other things to save each other, and I just... it's not unresolved, it's very much addressed by both of them in an extremely satisfying way. And that's what I love about it :)
Huh. That's true. I've always thought of them as a UST pairing, probably because I feel about them the way I feel about most of my UST pairings, but you're right that the way they feel about each other is never in doubt. They do deal with their emotions believably, wherease many television characters would ignore those emotions for the sake of the DRAMA. I hear you on X-Files, where it seemed like Mulder and Scully were kept apart for no reason other than to torture us.
i have no shift key, anne. but trust me when i say to you that it is the ONLY on-screen romantic relationship i have EVER SEEN that is drawn out with continued tension and awesomeness and, yes, BELIEVABILITY and never, ever gets stale or old or overdone. they did this shit RIGHT.
it is HET and it is CANON and yet i am still all over it. that's how you can tell.
GOD, MONA. GOD. I CAN'T EVEN. I can't believe I have three more seasons plus a miniseries to look forward to of this! IT GIVES ME JOY! :D:D:D
And yes, your endorsement was totally enough to make me sit up and take notice. Seeing as we SHARE A BRAIN and all. And you certainly did not steer me wrong :D:D
Hee! I am told that my enthusiasm for shows is infectious :D I often bring people down the rabbit hole with me! I'm a little late to the party on this one, but it's DEFINITELY worth a look :D My friend is burning some SG-1 episodes and sending them to me soon, so I'll be getting a little (hopefully not a lot - 10 seasons omgwtf) into that soon too! I have seen a few episodes and Vala is just the most adorable thing ever. And the complete opposite of Aeryn! Claudia Black is just made of awesome :)
