Anyone out there besides me who pretty much always enjoys the 'ship of the moment? I've never staked my heart and soul on a single ship, holding onto it even after it was long dead (B/A militants, I'm referring to you).

BUFFY
Loved B/A. Skipping over B/R, I loved B/S. After OaFA, I was looking for some Spike/Halfrek action, but it looks like that won't happen, so I'm back to the B/S camp. Also hoping to see Willow date again, maybe.

ANGEL
Loved Fred/Gunn until they actually got together and am now rooting for Fred/Connor.
Loved C/A in early S3 (even with terrible writing), moved on to Cordy/Groo, and am now back to rooting for Cordy/Angel (with better writing).

FARSCAPE
Loved Crichton/Aeryn, and now I'm hoping for some Crichton/Sikozu action.

There are only a couple of ships I didn't like:
Buffy/Riley (Blucas is not a good actor)
Giles/Olivia (no chemistry)

Parker and Scott Hope I didn't like either (as Buffy's beaus), but they were just placeholders, anyway.

SCROLL

I'm fairly flexible when it comes to 'ships, except when it comes to Buffy or Angel. Loved B/A, have resigned myself to them never getting together again, enjoyed bits of B/R and B/S, but always kept in the back of my mind that Riley and Spike just could never measure up to Angel in Buffy's heart. And I think my assessment is pretty accurate, at least so far. Don't know how Buffy will react to souled-Spike.

I might have accepted (but not enjoyed) A/C but the writers have handled this relationship fairly badly (Kye-rumption! Champions! St. Corduffy!) If the writers had been more subtle, showed us that Cordy actually had feelings for Angel, I might have believed her when she--whoops!--realises in the finale that She's! In! Love! With! Angel!

Fred/Gunn are okay, little cloying.
Loved Willow/Oz, loved Willow/Tara.
Loved Xander/Cordelia, loved Xander/Anya.

It all depends on how the writers handle the relationship.
