30 Days Couples Meme-Day 3

[samsom]

You mean, other than Cordelia and Angel being allowed to say I love you to each other, without one or both of them being either possessed by dead dancers, or about to die? :P

Well, I'm never involved in a show these days the way I was when I was watching AtS/BtVS. But there is one or two couples....

Garcia/Morgan on Criminal Minds. Their flirting is ridiculously cute, and they've been doing it for years, she's the voice on the phone that keeps him from flying off the deep end, their relationship is riddled with deep talks and the sharing of feelings, and there's this vein of true, deep friendship and regard going on between them. The writers have quite a bit of fun teasing the audience by giving them some amazing banter, but they have yet, as far as I know, to pull the trigger on it. I suspect it's because of Garcia's weight, although I doubt the show would ever say so, but there's no other reason I can think of other than they are co-workers. But since Garcia's been involved with co-worker (played by Nick Brendon), it can't be that hard and fast a rule.

Honorary mention goes to Stabler and Benson on SVU. Twelve Plus years. Best friends. Partners. At this point, I seriously doubt one would be able to live without the other. If I had to pick any couple that deserved to get together, finally, other than C/A, it'd be these two. He loves Benson more than he loves his wife, and he's the longest relationship she's ever been in. STOP COCKBLOCKING, DICK. Get him back and let it happen.

I agree so hard with you on both of these. When I started watching the re-runs of CM, I actually thought that Garcia and Morgan were an established relationship. You can imagine my shock. I'm also completely certain that the reason the writers haven't gone for it is because of Garcia's weight. I just can't believe that she'd be with Nick Brendon's character rather than Morgan.

As for Liv and Eliot, I don't think any other ship has made me suffer as much as them, and that's counting Mulder/Scully and Cordy/Angel. Maybe when the series finale comes we'll get something though I doubt it.

I know, right? That character...Kevin?...has greasy hair, bad glasses and he dresses like a clown threw up on him, and they think that this is what Garcia should end up with? Just because she's slightly bigger than the other female characters on the show? And because she's quirky? It's kind of offensive to me. Garcia is amazing, she totally deserves a studly muffin like Morgan.

No offense to Nick Brendon but I think his character on CM is pretty gross and I find it incredibly hard to believe that Garcia would be into him. Just because he's nerdy doesn't mean she'd go for him. I just wish TPTB would come to their senses and finally get her and Morgan together.

Agree with you SO hard on both. Seriously. Also, my current OTP (Dean/Castiel) which really, really needs to happen. Hell, we are campaigning for it, see? http://www.eonline.com/news/watch_with_kristin/tvs_top_couples_tournament_vote_in/293070?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories

LOL! I really want it to happen. As for Stabler/Benson, I cannot even bear to watch now that he's gone. 12 years, man. Absolutely ridiculous.
