Day 26 - A pairing that you hated and ended up loving?
Daphne Blake and Fred Jones (various Scooby Doo incarnations).



Daphne learned the hard way that Fred had a disturbing fetish for indian burns that rivaled even his love of traps and mysteries.

I never hated this ship. I just thought it was boring and predictable. So I never rooted for it and I rolled my eyes a bit when it started getting shoe-horned into the franchise after the Zombie Island movie. But I changed my mind because the pair is written very well in Mystery Incorporated (unlike their two messed up friends and the f#&ing dog!! **grumblegrumblegrumble**)

“Velma! We, like, promised to stop having sex in graveyards after the zombie incident! Remember?”


"Like, my compromise plan is to string you both along for 10 episodes and then grind Velma's heart into fine powder in front of all our friends and the Crystal Cove police force! That won't make me look like a lily-livered douchebag, will it?"


Fred and Daphne’s romantic angst recently produced this kick ass Grey Delise musical number. Close your eyes and try to imagine Princess Azula singing this. It’s fun!

Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?
Lois Lane and Clark Kent (Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman)




I adored this show when I was a kid (I think I was about 10 when it premiered). But back then, I mainly watched it because I thought Dean Cain was the hottest Superman ever (he still is, by the way). But the stories were good, too.

I fell in love with the show again when I rediscovered it on TV as an adult a few years ago. The early seasons handled the “will they, won’t they” sexual tension between Lois and Clark wonderfully. And Lois and Clark/Superman had great chemistry together. I actually liked this series better than the Bruce Timm Superman cartoon (BLASPHEMY, I know) because it actually made you believe that Lois was in love with CLARK. In the cartoon, it’s clear that she only loves Superman and that she just sees Clark as her annoying, hayseed co-worker.

Any straight woman who claims she wouldn’t tap that is a dirty, dirty liar!!

But things went horribly wrong after they got together. Not only did the show start taking a weird turn in terms of story lines (the later seasons introduced a lot of bizarre Sci-Fi crap that clashed with the more down-to-earth tone of the early seasons). It also eliminated Lois and Clark’s playful banter and replaced it with constant declarations of ~eternal wuv~ that were so sappy they’d make the Care Bears vomit.
Screw Moonlighting, THIS show is the textbook example of how easily a series can be ruined when the “will they, won’t they” romantic leads are hooked up and the writers have no idea how to maintain chemistry and sexual tension when writing the characters as an established couple!
