This title.

More accurate than you can possibly realize!

TFTNT! Awesome title and yay for you coming back, Ollie!

Not really posting here as much as I used to, but just coming here to drop in my usual fail list:

Jack/Kate "I liked the old you better" - "You didn't like the old me, Kate"

Sawyer/Juliet blowing up a bomb instead of admitting that Jimmy doesn't love you the way he loves Kate? that's romance!

Cook/Effy "It means I still love you" - "Piss off" Epic love right here.

Stefan/Elena he met a girl, they talked and it was NOT epic

Brooke/Lucas insecurities, hysterical trash, suspecious over LP since day one, degradation, break up. This match was made of fail since the start.

Harry/Ginny "I always loved that about you, Harry: you'll never be HAPPY untill you kill Voldemort" - in human language it means "I love you because I'm an obsessive twisted fangirl who loves a guy because all his family was brutally murdered by some evil dude and he will never stop untill he evenges".

Wesley/Life
James Cook post S3(!)/Life
Jack Shephard/Life

Bastardy is not epic and does NOT equal complexity. Character degradation is not as cool as character evolation. Time to learn that, dear writers.

What, you don't want to ship a couple who openly admits to not even liking one another, and who actively and constantly prioritizes other people?

I guess I'm too delusional for that Can't bring myself to see the epicness.

Which reminds me of another couple:

Thomas/Pandora

Yes, brilliant, epic, Skins rarest endgame which clearly represents how greatly written and well thought this show was! Even though my forever hated couple on it will be Cook/Effy, but this two is just a whole new level of hilarity, since only Jack/Kate before them could get "endgame" in last 5 seconds of WTF final without previously even sharing a proper love scene on screen. Not to mention that all we got to actually SEE of TP on screen was them cheating on each other. And guess what, Thomas didn't like this "new girl" or whatever he said, it's not like it was even a big deal that she cheated, he just didn't like the new her. This new, slutty Pandora. That's why he had to become a slut himself to fit well into her So he cheated back. But this time I guess she didn't like the new him and dumped him But what can redeem two lost souls? Only Harvard! And THIS is how you get endgame on an award winning drama Of course character evolation, growth, search for someone who would take care of you and be loyal to you is not something Skins would do, because it is for those pathetic and non-original shows.

Love this

Joffrey/Sansa is about as bad as it can get. Luckily the writers know and show this too. One of the reasons I love Game of Thrones

Other hate for:

Harry/Ginny
Cordy/Angel -sorry, but am a Buffy fan and I've seen the first 3 seasons. No matter how they evolved, it still screams wallbanger to me.

Merlin/Morgana -

A DEFENSE OF MORGANA LE FAY:
Or, Why I Don’t Mind Her Killing That Rat-Bastard Merlin


Looking back, I don’t think of Merlin and Morgana as friends. I think of them as people who knew each other and were friendly; but I don’t think of them as friends in the way that this show chooses to define friendship.

Morgana was always a good friend to Merlin. She liked him, treated him far better than Arthur has, trusted him to have her back in dangerous situations, risked her life to help save his village, and trusted him with her darkest secrets.

Merlin, when you get down to it, is a voyeur and a sneak. There’s also another word that perfectly describes Merlin but people don’t like to apply it to him, not because of the neutral definition but because of the negative connotation. That word is manipulative. Merlin is very manipulative. We all have had friends and significant others. We all know that relationships change easily; the friend you’re on good terms with but don’t consider yourself particularly close to can become one of your best friends due to a late night chat that starts with your favorite new band but somehow ends up with the two of you divulging the worst memories from your childhoods. And we all know from experience that these changes are rarely remarked upon. Contrary to how television and films like portray personal conversations, most of us do not give fifteen minute speeches to our significant others about when we fell in love with them, how we fell in love with them, how we feel about being in love with them, and how our love for them has transformed us into a better person. The closest most of us will come to that kind of cheese is our wedding vows. So when Morgana started sharing with Merlin her secret about having magic and visions, she assumed, as do all of us — even those with only minimal socialization — that she and Merlin were now close friends. She assumed wrongly.

Merlin seems to think because Kilgarrah (the dragon) told him his “great destiny” involves Camelot and its citizens then the business of every citizen is his business. I’ve never seen anyone so at ease snooping around, constantly eavesdropping on people’s very personal moments, without showing any hesitation and guilt over violating people’s privacy. So it seems that when Merlin listens to your problems it isn’t necessarily out of friendship but also because of his belief of his right to know that is so bone-deep even Merlin doesn’t seem to question it.

Merlin doesn’t get that you cannot act as someone’s confessor just because you like them. If you don’t trust someone enough to share your secrets, then you are being unfair and manipulative by letting them divulge their secrets to you. It gives that person the impression you have a relationship you don’t. I don’t think Merlin owed her his secret; I think he owed her fairness. The only good piece of advice Gaius ever gave Merlin was to stay out of it. If Merlin was never willing to be Morgana’s friend in the way that she needed, he should’ve simply bowed out. And he wasn’t. Face facts: he told Gilli about himself and he told Freya about himself, and I’m sure he told others and I just wasn’t paying attention because Merlin annoys me. So it wasn’t fear of revealing himself; it wasn’t fear of making himself vulnerable. He just didn’t like Morgana as much as he says he did.

Which is sad because Morgana would’ve done anything Merlin wanted or needed. Merlin was never as good a friend to Morgana as she was to him. And while they were ‘friends’, up to The Fires of Idirsholas, Morgana never betrayed Merlin. She trusted him implicitly. That’s why she didn’t hesitate to take that bottle of poisoned water from him. He’s her friend; why would he hurt her?

Cersei/Jaime - Okay, even if you ingore that they're twins - which is hard - you really cannot ignore that they bring out the worst in each other. When Jaime is away from her you see glimmers of the man he could have been had he not joined the Kingsguard. But participating in something so illicit as a decades-long, treasonous affair with his own sister has made them both ruthless and led them to committing other heinous acts like pushing little 10 year old Bran Stark out a window. Who the hell does that and says "the things I do for love"?

Tyrion/Shae - Why do I get the feeling that every single prostitute he sleeps with is just a replacement for the girl he fell in love with when he was a teen? This won't end well for either of them

The yuckiest "couples" since sliced bread.

Daphne/Emmett (Switched at Birth)

Not a couple yet, but I see the red flags, and as a preemptive strike, I'm saying no to them now.

We don't need yet another best friends, one person is in love with the other one who is oblivious to friend's feelings, then they get together only to be horribly obnoxious and a fail.

Plus, Emmett and Bay are so cute. Don't ruin it by going cliche.
