I usually get do wrapped up in Callie/Tyrol (and how much they grossly set it up for fandom to hate Callie) that I forget about Boomer/Tyrol, so good call, though I wouldn't have come up with a couple that good.

SO GROSS. Callie is so fantastic.

THE FACT THAT YOU LOVE CALLIE MAKES ME LOVE YOU.

Everyone hates her, but I didn't see any reason to until the last couple of episodes she was in which seemed to be the writers going YOU WILL HATE HER YOU WILL HATE HER YOU WILL HATE HER. Which pisses me off. It was, as y'all say, totally gross.

Even in those last couple of episodes! I think they might have been trying to make her out to be unsympathetic, but like...Tyrol was totally out of it, she didn't know why, she was doing two shifts a day of a job she never wanted and she was picking up the slack on child care for absolutely no reward. Of course she was unhappy!

I like your thoughts!

I like you.

Sure, maybe it was just a sweet star-crossed romance, or maybe, it was an exercise in narcissistic, pseudo-incestuous fascination with his own creation. Tyrol's obsession with Boomer toward the end of the series emphasizes the depths of his assholery bleakness of his spiral.

O.o

I like your thoughts. This ship is fascinating, true. I wonder why fandom doesn't talk about them much. Probably because Tyrol.

I wonder why fandom doesn't talk about them much.

I wonder too. I suppose people who gravitate toward messed up relationships probably wrote them off back in S1, and then people who prefer the more traditional love stories lost interest by S3. It's a shame, though, taken as a whole picture it's fascinating.

Probably because Tyrol.

Also a viable explanation.
