My top 10 favorite pairings for Valentine's Day (not all are canon)

Feb 14, 2011 22:55

Some of these are canon (exist on screen) and some of these should have been canon, but only exist in fandom (fanon)--which, if you're a fanboy/girl, probably makes them more legit to you anyway =)

not entirely related, but partially: I've started watching Firefly (my boyfriend is kinda a geek) and I actually really like it. I never thought I would, but it's actually pretty hilarious and interesting. So this made me smile I bit.

Yay! Another convert! I'm surprised you weren't already a fan. I totally associate you with geekdom, lol. But from the description of the show, it *can* be a tough sale for people not familiar with Joss' work nor fans of sci-fi westerns. lol

i actually haven't liked Sci Fi since the Star Wars... and then it was only the first (last) three. i never liked Star Trek or anything space related since then... so I was really opposed to even watching Firefly before, but I promised the bf I would watch one episode, and now im kinda hooked. I'm not quite finished with the series... too bad there was only one!

Blame Fox for only getting the amount of eps we did. Ugh.

Wow, I'm really surprised. I would have really pegged you as a sci-fi fan. I take it you're more fantasy then? Esp with LotR, obviously.

I think I'm totally with you about the Xfiles OTP. Regarding Files cannon, I think in many instances the character development between Fox and Sculley was what sustained the show through weak episodes and weaker story arcs (cough, cough - last two seasons and the first movie). But just my opinion and I'm usually full of crap; so what do I know.

SQUICK!! your Firefly OTP. I do see it, still squick.

I actually spent most of my X-Files life being a "no romo" shipper, purely friendship. The only reason I can accept their romance is because of how non-conventional and complicated it is. I recall Mulder saying that their relationship is "more than friends, less than lovers" and undefinable.

That being said, I actually really like the first movie *and* the last two seasons. I was probably the only person glad to see Mulder no longer the focus of the show anymore. I felt like he overshadowed Scully (and Gillian) for seven years and I was ready to finally just see *her*. I also loved the Doggett/Scully dynamic, too. I was like 'finally! someone who doesn't take her for granted and appreciates her!"

Also, I am still totally immune to judgment regarding River/Simon! And Joss confirmed it! lol
