Except he *did *love Cordelia - he had just realized that at the end of the previous season. “True love” doesn’t mean “one true love”, you know. At the very least, he loved her as a friend.
Remember, he did bone a hot girl in Season 5 (the werewolf chick), to no ill effect.
I agree–ignoring the single stupid “No more surprises, EVER!” episode where Robin basically told Barney “Yeah…all those things you did to make me fall in love with you? Stop doing those.” (it was one of the last half-dozen episodes), Robin and Barney were great. Robin and Ted just sucked in every respect after the third episode of the show.
Oh, and on True Blood, Vampire Bill and “Sookeh” sucked. He was a creepy stalker jackass, her (already none too shining) intellect dropped 50 points when she was around him. I wasn’t a huge Sookie/Eric fan, but at least Eric respected her sorta. Bill? He was a slightly more in check version of the crazy british vamp that held Tara hostage.
I’ll see your Chakotay and Seven of Nine and raise you Troi and Worf. She must have really had a case of the galloping hornies to get involved in that!
Cannot agree more strongly! Not only did they spend nine years demonstrating why that relationship doesn’t work, they then spent the first half of the final season showing Ted finally getting all the way over her.
And I’m still not over that character assassination job they did on Victoria, when they brought her back; I’m halfway convinced that they were just salty that she won that one “Who would you pick to be the Mother?” poll.
So the curse didn’t recognize true love until the boning? That’s my point. If it’s a “love” curse then it should happen when love happens, and that doesn’t necessarily happen in conjunction with bone. It can happen long before or long after the first bone.
I never bought the Brenda/Fritz pairing on The Closer. She’d use him, she’d lie by omission, she did whatever she damned-well wanted to do, figuring she could fix things or apologize afterwards. He shoulda dumped her way early in their relationship. She was selfish and he was too good for her. And I only watched the stupid show because my husband liked it…
Huh! I always thought he was more than tolerant of her eccentricities. In the episode where he had a hot secretary who was trying to seduce him, I kept wishing he would jump her when they went on assignment together. Of course, he never, ever would… :dubious:
Niles and CC on The Nanny. She even ends up pregnant by him. That marriage would end in a bitter divorce before the cake was sliced and the last thing either of them needed was a kid.
