I love me some lovers. Especially on 24.

Am I totally crazy to ship the president with Ethan on 24? Okay, obviously I would never doubt my sanity, so let me reword that. I ship Cranberry/Ethan. Who's with me? Come on, that HUG. It was kind of just a beautiful expression of friendship and closeness, but I don't do a lot of hugging, so I get my rocks off on it regardless fo whether or not

I loved that hug. There was an intimacy about it that suggested those two go way beyond knowing each other from just politics. I can't decide if I'm shipping them or not because truth be told I think I could ship with her just about anyone she's coming into contact with (this is eerily reminiscent of what happened with Martha too. Ooo Martha/Allison. Shit, Must. Not. Go. There) - I was all for her and Jack doing all sorts in that safe room last week. That said, that hug was awesome; it's like in the absence of Henry, Ethan is the only other one who can make her feel safe.

Aww, I know, and I love when characters have that because it's so much easier to care. It's not like when they bring in someone new who nobody really knows and expect us to care when they die in a few episodes.

Yeah, I feel the same way about both of them; I did that with Karen too. Right now I'm actually sort of into Allison/Karen, actually. But I'm definitely really pissed that she and Jack aren't locked in that room together anymore, there was so much magical potential there.

I totally agree. And it makes me think that maybe they got really close after her son died...like I think Henry was probably a little distant, going out of his way to find the truth, whereas she was just trying to accept it. Not in a bad way, like she was choosing Ethan over him, but that she just needed occasional emotional support from someone who was in line with her beliefs about what happened.

Exactly. Neither seem to be the kind to engage in an affair but I do think that there is some sort of deeper emotional connection between the two, either stemming from that time or before. That with Henry so emotionally fragile she chose to or found herself confiding to Ethan about her own grief. Someone who she probably felt less guilty about burdening that kind of thing on. I think it's telling that Ethan seems to know all her secrets and Henry does not. I would maybe use the term best friends between them but it doesn't sound right; confidante perhaps? I also think that emotional connection to him is also why she's so keen to have Ethan and Olivia get on.

Yessss. Emotional connections are so much better. I mean, come on, Adama and Roslin before they started kissing and getting high together? That was so fascinating. Unspoken emotional stuff is incredible on its own, but with great actors who can communicate it without using any obvious physical action, it's just so interesting to watch

I SO SAW THAT TOO. And I *like* Henry and Allison together an awful lot (I know she's President but I keep calling her Allison, I can't help it!). But that scene *eyes it*.

I'm gonna say they were lovers in the past, before she got together with Henry. Or maybe Olivia knows something!

I'm conflicted about this. Mainly because I love Henry Taylor and that relationship, so I don't want to ship her with anyone else, but at the same time...*rewatches clip*

I think that a big part of it is I love seeing her let her guard down. There was a scene at the beginning of the season with Henry and Cranberry (which lmao, was that even on the poll?) where he helps her put a necklace on or something and is really sweet and I just ate it up. I just want her to be loved on, dammit.

And there is NO reason why I should be projecting Tom Lennox into any sort of shipping scenario whatsoever. WTF, self?

[whenidream]

lmao wait I totally missed that, what about Tom? Allison/Tom or Henry/Tom? I'll definitely go for Allison/Tom. And Allison/Karen/Tom. Maybe Tom/Ethan (who am I kidding? Definitely Tom/Ethan).
