gilmore girls is an addiction of mine.
especially the 24 hours after i take finals. during which time, i spend approximately 14 hours watching gilmore girls and 10 hours sleeping. good times.
now, the only problem with gilmore girls is that luke and lorelai have this ongoing chemistry and everyone wants them to be together--knows that they SHOULD be together. and yet, the majority of the time, they aren't together. they're dating people that nobody else likes, because it's impossible to like them considering the only thing that will make viewers happy is for luke and lorelai to get together (for those of you who are chris and lorelai fans, stop reading my blog. unacceptable. okay, so you don't have to stop reading, but seriously? chris? no.)
my question.
why do all shows do this to us poor viewers??
it's like they enjoy portraying two people that are perfect for each other, but they can never, will never, be together.
exhibits a-e: glee. rookie blue. vampire diaries. covert affairs. one tree hill. (don't judge me for my choice of TV shows.)
and what makes it worse is that the two perfect people are always main characters who you know should be together after watching just fifteen minutes of the very first episode of the series. so annoying.
thankfully, some shows have the decency to allow the two people to get together right before the series ends (OTH, among others). but it is always such the struggle, and then they're only together for like two minutes before it all ends. i mean, at least give me two hours of them being together! two minutes is completely insufficient considering i watched the show year after year waiting for this very thing to happen!!
anyways...
moral of the story: why they do this, i do not know. this is something i have yet to learn so if you know the answer, please enlighten me. and you could be the next person i give a shout out to--that alone should be incentive for you to want to figure this dilemma out. ha!

I adore you.
I am with you! Except, they totally do it because as soon as they get together, everything is too happy to keep any drama going in the show. and then they can't break them up because people are too attached (see the Lucas-Peyton-Lindsay love triangle and how NO ONE liked Lindsay) so once they are together and happy, they show is basically done. it's not a perfect tv world we live in, but we gotta do the best with what we got :)
if they are together from the beginning there would be no one to chase off, cheat off, kill off or marry off. basically there would be no show.
if you like the perfect ones together...you should just watch movies!
