Nope.

I will list the ships I remember from my list for the current top five. But first --

Top 5 Doomed Ships. Not a Vase Edition.

That's adorable.




Top Five Doomed Ships

1. Bo and Dyson (Lost Girl)

From their scene together in that bathtub () at the end of season 1, I knew they were doomed. They were so in love and joyful at that moment, and I said to myself (and maybe out loud), "They are sooo over." And their relationship was never romantic again.


2. Clarke and Bellamy (The 100)

I didn't ship this pair until the second-to-last season, when their romantic relationship (to me) finally seemed earned story-wise.

Spoiler:

But because of behind-the-scenes personal issues and feelings, the show's creator decided to destroy their relationship -- in every form -- utterly. Appears he wasn't able to separate the actors from the fictional roles they were portraying.

3. Apollo and Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica [2004])

These two were so effed-up together but at the same time obviously in love. Then ...

Spoiler:

Starbuck died and came back as some kind of spirit-in-flesh to finish helping humanity and cylon-ity find a new home. She had no idea she was dead until her work was done, and she disappeared.

4. Adama and Roslin (Battlestar Galactica [2004])

They had a few episodes of happiness as a romantic couple. Then ...

Spoiler:

Roslin died, as she was foretold she would. She'd managed push back her destiny o' death until the end of the series.

5. Guillermo and Nandor (potentially) (What We Do In the Shadows)

Honestly, I have no idea if they'll ever get together romantically or should, considering the toxicity of the relationship's first ten years. But their dynamic has shifted, and Nandor is growing and changing -- and Guillermo is finding his strength and confidence more and more. The show's in its fourth season and has been renewed for two more (at least), so who knows where this will go? But as of now, I'm calling this a doomed ship.

Look at that, those are some pretty awesome choices! And you claimed you didn't have any... these are textbook.

I agree with most of them (minus Bo and Dyson, though I absolutely agree they were doomed and Guillermo/Nandor which I don't feel as a ship). I forgot about Starbuck/Lee, they were so ****ed up and yet...

I had two in mind (having forgotten the third), but then three popped up in my head while I made the list.

They were absolutely doomed. I held out some hope for them a little while. Then the story direction became clear, and I invested my watching!energy in the characters' development, other relationships they had (romantic or otherwise), and the plot.

Oh! And I just remembered the third doomed relationship I had in mind: Emma and Graham from Once Upon a Time. For seven episodes, man ... oh, well. Dead means dead, the showrunners said ... for no one but Graham.

I ship their non-romantic relationship, too. They're such a fascinating pair, and a development happened regarding them in 4x03 that's hilarious. (And I really don't know if they should be romantically paired up, but their relationship chemistry -- romance being irrelevant to it -- is huge.)

And yet. So much could be said, but effed up / and yet ... summarizes it all.

[MistyMountainHop]

We need a new thread as well as a new subject for our top five.

how did it get to beyond 300?

But hmmm... maybe something character related this time?
