Valentine's Day Countdown

So I didn't finish my countdown on actual Valentine's Day, BECAUSE I HAD A DATE, LOSERS!

So here are the last two entries--and the most important entries--presented without comment because there are no words for how these final pairs make me feel.



2.  Mulder & Scully

1.  Han Solo & Princess Leia

Valentine's Day Countdown: My Favorite Couplings #3

3.  Frodo & Sam

Love doesn't always mean romance.
Sometimes it means True Bromance.

Valentine's Day Countdown: My Favorite Couplings #4

4.  Ron & Hermione

Because I'm of Gen Y.

Because who doesn't want the dopey sidekick to get an awesome, hot, smart, badass girl?

Because they remind me of me and my own boyfriend.

Because LOOK AT THAT PROMO PHOTO.

Valentine's Day Countdown: My Favorite Couplings #5

5.  Renly Baratheon & Ser Loras Tyrell

 Forbidden love is off-the-charts on the sexy scale, and Renly Baratheon & Loras Tyrell are my favorite forbidden lovers of Game of Thrones characters.  They have all the attractiveness and drama of Jamie and Cersei, without any of the gross incest.

Okay, things might get a little 'cesty.  Renly is married to Loras' sister.  BUT THEY'RE NOT BLOOD RELATED, SO IT'S OKAY!

Also, both the books and the TV show manage to show a same-sex relationship that is just as honest and fraught as the hetero relationships around it.  There's no stereotypical using-gays-for-comic-relief etc.  Well, okay, maybe that shaving scene.  BUT THAT'S NOT IN THE BOOKS, SO IT'S OKAY!!!

My only complaint?  TV Loras is not as hot as Loras in my imagination.  It's okay, I'll focus on Renly.

6.  Lancelot & The Women of Castle Anthrax

 "Please can't I have just a little bit of peril?"

Valentine's Day Countdown: My Favorite Couplings #7

7.  Seth Green & Clare Grant

Prominent Nerd Couple Seth Green and Clare Grant are everything I want to be in life.

My love for Seth goes back many years.  When I was in 8th grade, my friends and I had a party for his birthday at which we marathoned his Buffy episodes in addition to Idle Hands and Radio Days, an oft-overlooked entry in the Seth Green canon.  [Has anyone else seen the masterpiece Something Special?  Apparently it's also known as Willy/Milly...]

Seth found a ladynerd after his own heart, the hottie-with-a-body Clare Grant.  Clare helms Team Unicorn, thus stealing my career as a Professional Hot Nerd.

Together, they are unstoppable.

8.  Worf & Jadzia Dax

We can't talk about this one.  Too many feels.  ALL the feels.
