Finally caving and doing this because I want a distraction from studying:

Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

Fandoms I can gush/rant about: Harry Potter, BtVS, Angel, HIMYM, Bones, The Big Bang Theory, Castle, Cougar Town, BSG, Friends, Firefly, Dollhouse, The Guild, Arrested Development

Fred/gunn!

[gryfndor-godess.livejournal.com]

Fred/Gunn are adorable! I confess that I have never rewatched AtS S3 and S4, so I don't remember many details of their relationship. However, in the big picture, I think they had chemistry, I thought their attraction to each other was believable, and I thought their break-up was contrived and offensive. While I consider them 'cute,' in no way do I mean that in an infantilizing or juvenile way. I wish we had seen more of them as a couple on-screen, as opposed to their status as the-secondary-characters-couple-who-occasionally-kiss-to-remind-viewers-they're-dating. Most of my F/G thoughts are a direct comparison to Fred/Wes, which I don't like in and of itself as well as because of how it destroyed Gunn and Wes's friendship. I am ambivalent about Fred and Gunn's friendship in S5. I don't think we got to see enough of the main cast interacting, and I dislike how by the time she's died, Gunn is no closer to her than any other man and puts her on the same pedestal; he doesn't act like an ex-bf who genuinely loved her for the woman she was.

Those aren't very coherent, but that's all the word vomit on F/G I can think of at the moment! :)

TRUTH. I loved them together! They were a believable couple, low on the angst until the end. I would have love to see more of the them. I also must confess that I haven't rewatched the second part or three, or any of 4/5. Although I'm about to rewatch five over the summer. Bu anyway, Fred/gunn = love.

Heh, I've never done a consecutive rewatch, but I watch certain episodes of S5 quite frequently because of Spike. I know that season better than any other AtS season, which is a bit unfair since 1 and 2 are actually quite good.
