I'm rambling again...

My bullet proof kinks when it comes to character arcs in books/television

Comments

Well, I'm right there with you for Duncan and Methos as well as Buffy and Spike.

*Grins* I've just read my post back to myself and realised I've left two very important words out for the secondary character! - morally grey! My brain is obviously fudge!

I also just added Veronica Mars and Logan to my list - how could I have forgotten them?

[pat_t]

Very definitely morally grey.

Logan and Veronica Mars is also perfect.

Of course with Avon and Blake!

I think that's one reason why I love the Hermione Granger / Severus Snape 'ship, even though it's not canonical.

I think you would like Robin McKinley's "Sunshine", it has some of that vibe, and also a bit of the question of self-identity for the heroine.

There’s talk of a US reboot - let’s hope it’s HBO style, with American money but mostly British actors. Not usually picky about this sort of thing but Avon with an American accent?

(shrug)

I haven't even looked at the British reboot (radio plays). If it isn't the original... it isn't the original, and I can't be bothered.

One to put on my list!

I don't mind reboots as long as they're well done (Battlestar Galactica!) but I really don't want to waste my time on a phoned-in remakes (The latest version of The Prisoner, for example!)If it's going to be a cheesefest, count me out.

THANK YOU for the Elena/Damon comment. You nailed what I've been thinking but couldn't put into words.

[jinxed_wood]

To be honest, I'm not sure this is a deliberate move on the writers part or it was just plain lazy writing. (We need Elena to hate Damon for saving her life - quick! make something up!)

Either way, it's blood irritating!

By and large, I am very much in agreement with you! Also, I think most Mag7 pairings with Ezra Standish (Vin/Ezra is my fave) fit this mold too.

[jinxed_wood]

Hee! Yes, I think their relationship would definitely fall into that category!

[tinnny]

Oh. I had never thought about it that way. I have not watched Blake7 or Highlander, but my otps for all the rest match yours. O_o

Well, I was hesitant with Veronica and Logan for a while, but convinced by the end. :)

[jinxed_wood]

Hee! It's scary when it's laid out like that, isn't it!
