I think she's a bitch and I would much rather have seen him end up with the Southern Belle. But she's not in it anymore. She was lovely.

The thing that amazes me with these shows is that the writers forget that 8 yrs is a long time for characters to love eachother but not do anything about it. Why aren't they going crazy?

Currently on Stargate, according to the shippers there, Sam is engaged to some FBI guy and very soon we are to see Jack dating some young 30 something bird. Apparently both Jack and Sam love eachother and if my S4 box set DVDs are correct then that's true. But hey, how long do writers keep people going? Oh yes, all these couples [women] want families one day but is there no such thing as menopaus on TV? Sam must be pushing 40, Jack is over 50 with gammy knees and so won't be able to run after the frisbee with his kids.

As for Mac....well she'll get to 40 and find herself infertile. Looks also fade although I could never imagine Harm looking anything but drop dead gorgeous at any age.

Scully needed alien intervention and now that she's fairly well over the hill there is no way they'll ever have a family unless the new movie sees them with an extra kid already.

Personally I did not like Moonlighting. I think its only substance was the ship and when it went, the show ended. All these other shows have substance and other characters. The relationship is not all the shows are based on unlike Moonlighting. Don't the writers give themselves any credit for the technical/atmospheric/story telling substance of their work or do they value it so little as to think that getting two characters together will ruin the whole show? I think shows ending when characters get together is a coincidence. Writers wait till a show has almost run it's natural course anyway before getting the people together and so it just looks like that's the reason for the end. But in fact the timing of the getting together just matches the natural ending of the show.

I think Mac and Harm should get it on because there are plenty of other interesting characters on the show to keep viewers interested.

They are doing the same thing on Crossing Jordan with Jordan and Woody. Originally Jordan was holding off on letting herself have a life because she's basically crazy and was all hung up about her troubled childhood. In the mean time they've made us think that Woody and this new bird are going to get it on. Finally Jordan has come to her senses and at long last given Woody the green light. But what do the writers do? They make Woody cool off with the take it slow line and then Jordan eases off and shunts back into her mucking around version of being pals with Woody and here we go again. It's a real pain in the backside. Crossing Jordan is a great show and one I fail to miss each week, but the craziness is sending me crazy and I'd like a bit of normalcy put into it.

Anyway, what is it with us poor sad wretches that we crave romance on TV anyway? Are we deprived in our own lives or what?
