Mal and Zoe. Ed and Ruth-Anne. Will & Grace. The partners on Law & Order SVU.

smacks forhead

Mal & Zoe, duh. Will and Grace I'm not sure I'd count - the potential for romance is kind of missing (though...no, I can only hope that the show won't go there, not that I watch it anymore).

Oh, and those partners on Hill Street Blues (Ed Marinaro and...she's a film director now) - they never screwed that one up, did they? It's been ages since I watched that show (hell, not since it was on) and there were at least one or two seasons I missed or missed most of.

Mal and Zoe are comrades. There's a certain don't-fuck in there that I think mitigates it. I think Dax/Sisco doesn't work for me (as an example) primarily because it was Kurzon and Sisco to start with ... Sisco does a very transparent job of treating Jadzia like a new incarnation of an old friend.

I've also heard a rumour that Will's gay.

Although Coffey and... hell, I've forgotten her name. Played by Betty Thomas. Anyway, I think they did sleep together once, finally. I seem to recall she kind of had a crush on him, but I could be misremembering.

I was afraid they might have gone there. Oh well. sigh

I am particularly fond of the Miracle Snow of Amends.

Eek. I agree with Topic!Cindy on something! Seriously, I loved that bit. TPTB stepped in, not with a big save but a little one. It reminded me of Angel saving Kate when she tried to commit suicide in her apartment on whatever "Angel" ep that was -- he got in even though she had never invited him. TPTB stepped in again with a small help.

Also, Chris Beck's music over the snow is the best ever.

I think C/A could have worked.

Ah, back to normal. No, it never could or should have worked. They should have remained just friends.

"Magic Snow" is on my Christmas music CD.

My big(gest) problem with C/A is that she was there for all of the Sunnydale B/A stuff. And, with all the ugliness of a lot of their time in LA, I don't see her wanting to add a provenly trouble-making element, let alone put herself in that situation. Yeah, she loves him (certainly as a friend), but she's got no illusions about how wrong things can go with Angel. They never convinced me (and I'm not sure they could have), that she believed that any of that had changed.

If that makes sense.

But not enough to say it twice.

Joe kept coming on to Lucy, but if I recall correctly, they never did sleep together. He was at it again during the episode in which he was killed, and after he died, she essentially said that she should have slept with him.

And where are the Hill Street DVDs?

I've also heard a rumour that Will's gay.

But there's very little in the way of conclusive proof. Perhaps TV's most prominent illustration of "telling, not showing."
