Jeff/Britta - I don't strongly dislike them, it's not an especially horrible couple by itself, but I hate how forced it is. Particularly in the first half of S1 - they've got better since then, but I do sometimes feel like they're being forced as an epic couple or the OTP of the show, and it just doesn't work for me. Just stop pushing them so hard, Harmon, and maybe they'd be easier to stomach.

LMFAO WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Thats so hilarious.

Oh Jack and Gwen continue to remind me why you're a complete and utter failtastic of a couple if I've ever seen one. Please. Its for my own amusement.

And I LOVE the thread title bb. TY!

My two other failtastic couples:

Luke/Reid Basically the biggest WTF fail couple ever. THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING TO SET THEMSELVES APART AS A COUPLE. All they did was bicker and work on the new hospital wing. Oh yeah thats such a mature relationship over Luke/Noah who actually LOVED EACH OTHER. Fail ATWT fail.

Sam/Freddie Abuse 101 in the form of a girl beating on a guy. Its not romantic, its not cute, its humiliating and I have no clue why Freddie is even going there with Sam who's pretty much been his bully for 5 years.

Ok, need to get this out of me, because I am in a very BTVS mood today:

Scoobies, Faith and characters there are not Buffy, Angel, Spike or Andrew/Always getting a free pass for all their crap

I love BTVS and Joss, but I got sick of it, especially close to the end of the series. Joss and I have a similar view on life and people & their actions for most time, but there are also things that I strongly disagree with him. I have a lot of issues with season 7 but my biggest issue will always be how he cheapened everything that Buffy did throughout the whole damn series, how she died twice to save the world and her loving ones, how she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, how she risked everything being on mission that was forced on her since she was 15 - and all of that seemed to be forgotten because oh the horror she was lost and desperate (having to lead the army of immature non-activated slayers) and made few mistakes. Lets show her in a bad light, make her look like an ungreatfull bitch to precious scoobies, kick her out of her own house and make an ex-creepy stalker Faith a leader! Yay. So, my dear scoobies and Faith, lets see what kind of a journey you had and what kind of a right you had to judge - and you always judged, where it Angel, Spike or Buffy herself. You think you are better? Let me respectfully disagree, my dear Scooby gang:

Faith - this girl made Buffy’s life a misery just because she could, she stalked Buffy, she stalked her family and friends, she emotionally and physically assulted people, she actually RAPED Buffy by having sex with Riley in Buffy’s body (so what if Riley was Buffy’s boyfriend? Buffy didn’t give her a permission to use her body and do whatever she wanted with it) - but it is totally fine and forgotten & forgiven because Faith’s harmfull and disturbing actions could be easily justified by her family problems and ah, hard life. Sorry, but just no, Joss. Buffy grew up without a father, her mom died of brain cancer when Buffy was 20 and she was left to raise her teenage problematic sister on her own - who was not even technically her sister, but formerly the most powerful energy in the world - but did Buffy become a creepy stalker or abuse innocent people and made their life misereable because they happened to be more lucky than her? No. It is a matter of choice.

Anya… killed and tortured WAY more people than soulles Spike and Angelus together. Yet still after she became a human it is all cool and no one on the show ever points out at her previous mistakes, because she is Anya - awesome, amazing, charismatic and funny. I guess charisma and witty bold personality gives you a free pass for all the harmfull and abusive things you do Don’t get me wrong, I love Anya, but I don’t understand why she gets a free pass for her horrible mistakes while Spike, Buffy or Angel always had to pay the full price.

Willow - don’t even get me started on her. She mind raped Tara by erasing her memory because Tara didn’t agree with Willow’s destructive tendency to use magic too often. Willow messed with Tara’s mind (even after everything Tara went through with Glory) to keep being in a relationship with her (which is equal to actual rape, in my opinion, since Tara was about to break up with Willow because of those magic issues and she would have if Willow hadn’t erased the “bad” memories from her head to make everything seem ok). Willow almost got all her friends AND the whole world killed because of her obsession. She almost got Dawn killed, almost got EVERYONE in the world killed - but Xander showed up and saved the day by reminding Willow a touching story about their highschool friendship and a yellow pancil.

And none of these guys was sent to go through trials of torture like Spike, none of them spent years in Hell demention like Angel and none of them was kicked out of their house like Buffy. And I will never be able to understand it.

+ this title reminds me of:

Jack/Kate
Sawyer/Juliet
Cook/Effy
Wesley/Fred
Harry/Ginny

Uh-huh. Gwen also stated that she would see Jack "killed like a dog". Oh Gwack, what an epic and selfless love you have.

Have you not seen episode 7 yet then?

TY.

Psychically Linked ღ

Nope. I havent. I'm in denial about Jack sleeping with anyone who isnt Ianto. Nah I'm just kidding. I just havent gotten around to downloading it yet as I dont have Starz.

Though to be fair Ianto also said to Jack that he'd watch him die. Hahaha. Oh Torchwood.

But really though, I dont get how the writers keep on shoving Jack/Gwen in our faces when they made it clear in the first three seasons that Jack's love was Ianto Jones and Gwen's love was Rhys. Like they'd be so wrong for each other as a couple I cant even think about it without cringing. Number one being that they dont understand each other at all.

ITA. These three characters are among my most hated BtVS characters The last two especially because I'm actually in the minority: I didn't think they had such great personalities. Willow was cute for about two seasons and then I started to realize how often she used her "shyness" to be passive aggressive and judgmental. Anya annoyed me from day one.

The thing is that I actually like Anya but I hate how all her wrong doings where brushed unde the rug, because she is sweet and charismatic Anya. Sorry, but charismatic personality is not your licence to do harmfull and destructive things. So isn't a hard life and family dramas in relation to Faith. Faith I could only stand on ATS, because she actually made a growth there. Unfortunatelly, this growth was completelly destroyed by her returning to BTVS in season 7 (horrible mistake). Joss tried to sell her as saint redeemed Maria Magdolena, which was a complete joke. Faith's redemption SL could have worked had it actually been about growing and making up for her mistakes (which would have taken a very long time considering how many mistakes she had made) and the show acknowledging her mistakes, but I feel like in season 7 we where supposed to believe that she is ALREADY redeemed and her mistakes where not even that serious and she was just a messed up girl. Errm, nope, Joss, sorry, but this girl killed, this girl is responcible for so many innocent lives taken (her little adventure with Mayor. I don't CARE she needed wuv and saw him as a daddy that she never had. I don't ****ing care. Buffy grew up without a father, plenty of people did, but do they search for a father figure among killers and people that cause troubles and deaths? No), this girl stalked and tortured - and all just because she could. Not because she was posessed or soulles. And I don't feel like she payed a full price for it.

Willow as a character was never among my favourites, except maybe season 1 when she was adorable and innocent and honest. Later she turned into a hypocritical, cheating and selfish person whom I could only tolerate when she was around amazing people like Oz or Tara. But she didn't even treat them well. I can't believe she was sold as a strong female character in the end and was honored by becoming a goddess.

Oh, sorry, Air, I didn't mean to go OT, I was trying to point out that I dislike those characters in all their relationships for reasons I listed. I'll try to make it more clear next time I'm very sorry.

Sorry Air!

Jackie/Eddie (Nurse Jackie) - I love Jackie in spite of her habit; I can't stand enablers. It's a mutually exploitative relationship and it grosses me out. Especially when Eddie decided to become BFF with Kevin. Jesus, man, you're sleeping with the guy's wife!

Jackie/Kevin (Nurse Jackie) - Kevin's actually a pretty nice guy, so it's primarily an issue of compatibility. Kevin's....a nice guy. Which is nice. But also boring as all hell. I also feel, in a lot of ways, that despite being a raging drug addict Jackie carries over 75% of the load in that relationship.

Arthur/Guinevere (Merlin) - They are a black hole of chemistry. No romantic chemistry, no sexual chemistry. They're saddled with a romance that came out of nowhere and cheesy-as-all-hell dialogue. She's still sort of in love with Lancelot. Arthur becomes a spineless, self-centered douche around her. Pass, thanks.

Merlin/Morgana (Merlin) - A relationship between the most powerful witch and warlock of the age? Sounds ****ing awesome! Oh wait, he lied to her for years despite the fact that she told him all of her secrets - even the ones that could have gotten her killed - and then tried to kill her. *swoon*

Angel/Cordelia (Angel) - Was I the only person who didn't think they had any chemistry and the supposedly sexual/sensual scenes between them were painfully bad? Remember that ballet episode when they were possessed and there were these scenes that I think were supposed to seem sexy and intense but where just laughable? What was that line....."I only feel alive when you're inside me"? God Joss, step awaaaaaaaaaay from the romance buddy. It is not your niche, trust me.

Fred/Wesley (Angel) - So, there was the creepy stalking, the never-ending pissing contests with her boyfriend (which Wes always lost), and him encouraging her to commit a murder that may have given her her revenge, but would have eaten her conscience alive in the long run. Also? Zero chemistry between these two. They were each other's sexual kryptonite.

Wesley/Lilah (Angel) - Sweetheart, if you have to dress up like another woman to have sex with your boyfriend you need to open up a portal to hell and send him through.

Connor/Cordelia (Angel) - There are no words to describe the horror of this relationship. Well, horrific. There's a word. H-O-R-R-I-F-I-C.

Cordelia/Xander (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - Could have been cute if Xander hadn't stepped out on her. Xander deserved every ounce of bitchiness she threw his way.

Buffy/Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - This had the potential to be an interesting relationship had the writers actually hammered out their views on vampires, souls, and moral complexity before jumping head-first into this crapfest. Isn't just great how once the demon was suppressed when Spike's soul was returned to him, his personality changed not a whit? Though by the show's own views Spike With A Soul and Spike Without A Soul were supposed to be two different people? And how is it that everything that happened between them before him getting his soul counted after except for the bad ****? That's just lazy writing. A way to say he's the bad boy that evolved when all they really did was wipe the slate clean. If you want to make Spike out to be some amazing character then say that him recognizing the value of a soul essentially made getting one redundant for him since he was able to develop a moral compass without a soul. But they made the mistake of having him attempt to rape Buffy and they needed a way to make peace with the audience, a way for people to still accept the relationship without holding the rape attempt against Spike. So then you get: a vampire capable of making the moral decision of getting a soul but incapable of being held accountable for rape. Which is stupid.

Buffy/Riley (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) -

Oz/Willow (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - Could have been so cute that kittens would turn green with envy. Alas Willow had to step out on the most adorable man in all of existence, and then followed him around mewling until he forgave her.

Willow/Xander (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - As best friends they were great, but once they turned romantic they made each other unlikable. I didn't see the point of the show going there. To me, Xander/Willow always seemed like that inevitable teen crush between close friends that fizzles out. Outside of "closure" it honestly baffles me.

Xander/Anya (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - It's hard to say which character annoyed me the most: Xander the eternal manchild, or Anya the motor-mouth. Every time we had a scene with them I wished we were watching someone else. I called this one as doomed from the start and I was hardly surprised to be proven right.

Willow/Kennedy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - Was Kennedy of age? Because she didn't act like she was and Willow didn't treat her like she was. She treated her like she was a nice piece of t&a and called her "sweetie" in a really patronizing tone. Factor in Kennedy's snotty attitude and their lack of chemistry and you have what I consider one of the worst relationships in the Whedonverse, and that's saying something.

Willow/Tara (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - A fairly one-sided relationship from the beginning. Tara was always supportive and loving while Willow was often intent on keeping Tara to herself, which had the affect of making Tara feel like an outsider. It wasn't until the episode when her family came to town that that changed, and it was thanks to the rest of the group, not Willow. Willow didn't respect Tara's morality or agency, taking her memory of a fight they had over Willow's abuse of magic. Tara was simply too good for Willow.

Faith/Wood (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - This one was random and weird and I never cared about it either way. I ended up actively disliking it because it ate up time that could've been spent elsewhere.

Lucy/Carter (ER) - Too imbalanced. Carter was a jerk to her half the time and she was too obsessed with getting his approval.

Luka/Abby (ER) - I cheered out loud when Luka told her that Carter could have her, that she wasn't that pretty and she wasn't that special Finally!

Boomer/Cavill (Battlestar Galactica) - Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

Tony/Ziva (NCIS) - I actually started out liking this pairing but I feel like they keep sacrificing her character while treating Tony like he's some golden boy.

Claire/Sylar & Sylar/Elle (Heroes) - I cannot ship any character played by Zachary Quinto with any character not played by Zoe Saldana. It's a thing I have

collide into you

TFTNT!

My trifecta of fail:

Spencer/Wren. Ewwwwwwww.
Aria/Ezra. For the 12325614th time they decided to tell people about them. I'm bored already.
Bill/Sookie. Soulmates? Not so much.

blue winter roses

Oh my usuals, still hate them as much as ever.

Kate/Jack - "Kack"... it's RIGHT THERE!!!
Jack/EXISTING -
La Flower/Juliet
Harry/Ginny
Snape/Lily
Harry/Hermione - well... the IDEA of them anyway since they never were even a possibility. If Harry liked Hermione then I'm pretty sure we would've known since it was told from his perspective. But even in friendship he valued Ron's over Hermione's, despite the HHr wet dreams of the movie makers , so a relationship would probably be an empty shell.

Chuck/Blair (end of S3 on)

Christopher/Lorelai
