Spontaneous Musings

I feel that's exactly it -- they've got the friend thing or the hot sex and angst and whatnot thing, but the networks all seem to think that a long term relationship will fall prey to the Cheers syndrome or Moonlighting or whichever it was. I just think it happens because the writers lose interest in the couple once they've formed and stop exploring any sort of relationship development there, which is kind of silly. It's like they come to the conclusion that people can't talk about anything but the relationship once they're having sex (ala Buffy and Spike). I'm so glad Joss kind of won that battle with Firefly to have Zoe and Wash as a married couple.

Sigh... I need to rent Firefly from Netflix soon to see the unaired eps!
