sevenjetc...or, how I learned to stop shipping.
Since I was a child, I identified myself as a shipper. Lately, this course of action makes me disgusted. Let's take a look.
Mulder and Scully, the ultimate image of romance. Why I liked it?
1. They were, above all, friends. It was more than "unresolved sexual tension", which I never actually seen. People mistaking them for lovers, well, I never got that. It run deeper than that. There was this ultimate trust between them. They literary trusted each other with their lives.
2. They never showed it. The kiss in Millenium was perfect, the little New Year's peck on lips. But it was the little touches that were much more significant. The touch of hands, a hug. It was more intimate than sex. The best shippy moment ever - the end of Pusher, when Scully takes Mulder's hands and leads him away.
3. Truth is, we were told that they probably shagged since episode one. And if they did, I'm glad it wasn't on screen.
4. In the movie, when they live together. It's natural. It's been sixteen years of close intense relationship. They lost all other friends, because there wasn't time to socialize and to be friends with them was more than dangerous. They lost their families. They only had each other. So I wasn't surprised and I kind of like it. Up to the final kissing scene. I mean, they were together and it was nice. But that scene was so unlike Mulder and Scully. It was disgusting. The worst X Files scene ever. What happened to the no 'Moonlighting' rule?
Now watching Bones. Are they trying to copy M and S? I dunno, however, there is zero chemistry between Brennan and Booth. They are great as partners, but not as a pair. Lately, the writers force them on us as a pair. They are trying to show it down viewers throat and it triggers my gag reflex.
Another thing triggering my gag reflex is House's current "slip of tongue". Back in the season one, when Cuddy was still the boss and not the boobs, the occasional hostile flirting was fun. But the current House/Cuddy plot is making me sick. It is boring, it is annoying, it is an old meme. Is Cuddy really the desperate aging lonesome stalking slut who would do anything to get House's attention? Because lately, it seems that way. Two more episodes of this and she would get on the same level with Cameron's clingy crush.
Well, I think it is a good thing that I jumped the slash train. I mean, they are not going to show Kirk/Spock or House/Wilson down my throat, huh? :D

As for H/W, I think it's enough that House and Wilson show their co(ugh)s - ahem, sorry - down each other's throat :-D
