Spontaneous Musings

I agree that yanking the audience's chain only works for so long. You need the build up of tension, but if there's no release, you're just left frustrated and unfulfilled(I did not mean that to sound sexual, I swear). There's absolutely no reason why a TV couple cannot get together and still have drama. Real couples have tons of drama. :-P And, like you said, there's always the option of a tragic death, kinda like Willow and Tara.
