Fandom MEME

[debris4spike]

This MEME I have snagged from pfeifferpack  and others -

Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.


1)  Spike and Buffy (BtVS) - Will always be my #1 pairing - and works on so many levels!

2)  Avon and Cally (Blakes 7) - A great pairing of a computer geek and an Alien!!  A relationship that was hinted at in the series, but much explored in fandom.

3)  Hawkeye and Margaret (M*A*S*H, the series) - again, during the 11 years they had their moments, but the timing was never right.  I don't think they ended up together, but I think they both regret that they never were able to explore their friendship in a deeper level.

4)  B'lanna and Tom (Star Trek, Voyager) - the whole 7 years shows their relationship from hatred of human/Klingon to love, marriage and childbirth.

5)  Owen and Tosh (Torchwood) - I loved seeing Tosh's underlyng love, and Owens thoughts of possibily dating her, when fate intervened.  A sad story, but maybe that is great to see how they ended their story at the same point.

6)  Avon and Vila - friendship (Blakes 7) - They were great - complete opposites, but yet both respected each other - even liked them although they wouldn't want to admit it!

7)  Spike and Oz - friendship (BtVS) - I think that was a pairing that could have been really explored.  They are both fighting their demons to fit in with a human world.

8)  John and Jack (Torchwood) - I have just commented on Kathleens post that I have yes and no thoughts about these 2 although I love their relationship.  I think John is more honest than Jack, who I don't know will ever get over his history.  So they would both do each other good ... providing they don't kill each other in the process!

9)  Dr 10 and Martha  (Dr Who) - I loved her strength of character, which I think Dr10 also respected.  Dr9 had a rapid deep connection to Rose, which I found hard to like, and I think as 9 turned to 10, he needed more strength and independance of a career woman.

10)  Captain Janeway and Chakotay (Star Trek Voyager) - I think they had a great friendship, which is sad they didn't take further due to her rank.  I wonder if it would have worked, but the great thing is that even with their differences, their friendship was special to them both.

So - what are your 10 favourites?

Do these 10 describe me, I don't know - I just like these pairings!!

Great meme once more!! Wow! I think I can´t come up with 10 pairings ever!
1. Absolutely!! I loved Spike/Buffy so much, though Buffy was the more selfish one in this relationship. Spike truely loved her and she was only using him more or less...

5. As I´m currently watching Torchwood S1 (halfway through) I have to ask: What is going to happen?? I thought Tosh and Owen will be together someday..there interactions are sooo intense!!! It´s ending sadly?? Why? *is curious*

7. YAY! My two favourite characters from BtVS!!! I really adore Oz and of course I adore Spike, so the both of them being close friends would have been awesome! Now I want a spin-off with them! LOL

8. John and Jack..can´t wait to see S2!!! :D

Thats why I tried to be vague about S2 Torchwood - if you have seen it you will know what I mean ... if not, enjoy the story!

Glad you agree with me about Spike and Oz - you don't even see amny fan-fice with them as friends.

Glad you enjoyed - and enjoy Torchwood!

Awwww..so you won´t tell me what´s going to happen? Well, than I really have to wait until I see it..;)

I totally do agree with you on that! And thank you, I will enjoy Torchwood for sure! (it´s on German TV tonight!)

:o)

It's interesting that you choose Hawkeye and Margaret-I always thought they should have ended up with at least one night of torrid passion.

Captain Janeway and Chakotay are my OTP of that entire show-it's heartbreaking that they never got together.

I've never seen Blake's 7, although I've read your comments concerning it before, so I sort of have the gist.(I think) :-)

I don't really see a defining thread here,except the ones I do know have one thing in common-they all come from completely dissimilar backgrounds, some wildly opposite the other.

[debris4spike]

Mmm - hadn't thought about that, but it is true that most of the pairings are a case of opposites attracting - Thanks for noticing that.

Yes, I so wanted Margaret and Hawkeye to get together - but love it that they never did!!! Same with Chakotay and Janeway ... sorry, but Seven didn't do it for me!

Spike and Buffy...of course ;)

Don't notice a trend.

[debris4spike]

Someone has pointed out that I like the "opposites" attacting thoughts - which I suppose is true.

Bet you were suprised to see the Spike and Buffy pairing !!!!

I agree with most of the pairings except the DR Who. As much as Rose should have been the Dr's companion I think the one thatdefined him the most was tennent/catherine tate. Donna's maturity mingled with her quick witted ness was a better coupling I think. Initially I was in two minds if a comic of her calibre belongs but quickly fell in love with her ditzyness that mirrored the DR excactly.

Whether the New DR Who (smith) can stand in the likes of Tennant or Pertwee's shoes, I don't know, let's hope so

Mmmm - I did like 10-Tate ... having thought it wouldn't work. It was a good pairing ... would be my very close second choice!

I find it hard to imagine anyone filling David Tennants shoes - so maybe this is why it has to be someone completely different. We shall wait and see.

1) Spuffy - *grins*

5) Owen and Tosh - *cries a bit* Love them both and hate we never got that couple on screen.

7) Spike and Oz - Yes, I think that Oz was accepting of others without judging them so I would have loved to see them as pals.

8) John and Jack - Oh yeah! At least we got to see them in action. They burned bright in the bit we got. Jack needs to be spanked because of how he treated John. Well, he could have been nicer to him. John only did what he did because Jack treated him badly. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

9) Dr and Martha - Yep, loved that pairing. Loved Dr and Donna as well. Couldn't warm up to Rose.

10) Janeway and Chakotay - Yeah, boy! Chakotay was hottness.

[debris4spike]

See - I knew we would agree on a lot!

Yes, John needs love and understanding ... ???!!!

Yes, I liked Donna as well, even though I didn't think I would - but Rose ... I think the relationship was too close to quick with #9, which lost the appeal for me! (Anyway - what is it with guys and younger girls??)

Oh yes - Chakotay - gorgeous! Can't see that it would have worked with Seven though.

I never even considered a Spike/Oz friendship... Interesting.

I've always thought that the funniest Spike relationship was his early interactions with Willow. That always made me LMAO.

[debris4spike]

I know with the storyline you can't show too much Spike friendship - but it is great to see it explored in fan-fics.
