Have I mentioned that I'm a total sucker - because it sounds marginally better than pathetic dweeb - for tv couples? I can't quite place my finger on what it is about tv couples and romances that make them so annoyingly quixotic. It could be the killer lines, the obstacles they (somehow) always manage to overcome, their exceedingly good looks, or just the fairytale way in which everything always seems to play out. Oh, and not forgetting those major cheeseball, yet overwhelmingly saccharine, moments which include:
A) a heated argument followed by passionate kissing in the rain
B) a public proclamation by the male lead on how much he loves the female (think "You complete me"/ "I'm only me when I'm with you"/ "I want to wake up in the morning with you beside me." You get my drift.
C) an airport scene with either female/ male leaving for another country and the other character always sprinting to the departure terminal just in time rather miraculously (Like seriously, ever heard of bad traffic?)
D) Kissing
E) More kissing
So yes, I digress. I talked about Leyton in one of my older posts. And today, I present you with yet another onscreen couple that I adore.
Joey and Dawson from Dawson's Creek. They started out as best friends and then became lovers, and yeah you know the rest of the story. But unlike normal onscreen couples, they do not end up together in the final season, which was heart-renching but made me like the pairing even more, because it actually mirrors reality (yeah, I know GASP) and doesn't present some chimerical fantasy that holds a probability of 0.000000001023293.
That's life.
