So, I am obsessed with TV. And I am especially obsessed with romance on TV. Therefore, I have spent inordinate amounts of time thinking and writing about my favorite and least favorite TV couples. I have a document on my computer called "My Favorites" that I started writing over a year ago, and it's amazing how much has changed in my TV life since then.

Millions of viewers, myself among them, occasionally entertained ourselves during Buffy's early seasons by imagining a world in which our heroine forgot about her romances with Angel and Riley, and took a walk on the wild side with Spike. That idea started to look less attractive with season five, when Spike decided he actually was in love with Buffy, which proved borderline unpleasant to watch.
