It's
taken me a while to post this final part – and that is mainly
because I am lazy but partly because I have actually been writing my
novel, which may or may not never be finished. Excuses I know but for
those two people that have been waiting to find out who will take out
the top position in my list of Epic TV Romances – wait no more
because the answer is finally here. As usual if you don't agree with
me you can just suck it because this is my blog and what I say goes –
or you can comment, that would be cool too.
Without further ado... here are the top 2 Epic Romances on the small screen.
Number 2: Sam
Winchester and Dean Winchester – Supernatural
Jared
Padalecki and Jensen Ackles
You
should have guessed that this family romance would make it into this
list somewhere... I can't help it, I'm obsessed but that doesn't mean
I am not right. These boys love each other – watch the show and try
to deny it. Even better find out for yourself – try to harm either
one of these boys and the other one will hunt you down an punish you
in ways you can't even imagine.
First
things first – I am not talking about sex! While I respect every
fangirls right to slash whoever they want, I'm personally not down
with the whole incest thing (if you want to think of it as sexual –
go for your life). But just because I don't think these boys are
going to be announcing their engagement any time soon doesn't make
their platonic romance anything less than epic. I have already talked
about sacrifice and Sam and Dean are basically the kings of this
trope. I am not really worried about them dying because the other one
will just sacrifice himself to get them back. It's not really what
you would call healthy but it certainly makes for quite a journey.
Sam
and Dean Winchester are the definition of codependent but you can't
really blame them because they are literally all they have. Papa
Winchester was a deadbeat and Mama Winchester got roasted so the only
thing they have left to hold on to is each other – and they hold on
pretty tight. Dean probably holds on a bit tighter, but that doesn't
mean Sam doesn't love him. They spend literally every moment with
each other and they haven't even killed each other yet... lots of
other things have, and the beat each other up a fair bit but if I had
to spend ALL my time with my sister I would not let anyone but me
kill her.
All
jokes aside, Sam and Dean's relationship is how I measure love. It
might be a bit fucked up (and they are about to hit another road
block) but no matter what they are there for each other. Even if you
took away all the ghosts, demons and apocalypse this relationship
would still be one of the most epic love stories on the television.
Number 1: Logan
Echolls and Veronica Mars – Veronica
Mars
Portrayed
by Kristen Bell and Jason
Dohring
They
are responsible for the title quote of this article, so you know they
had to be on here somewhere... And to be honest they were always my
number one. Whenever I think about Epic Romances on TV, I think about
Logan and Veronica. For a non supernatural program it's amazing how
much trouble these two got into – and with the way the program
ended I really don't know how long either of them will survive, but
no matter what their LoVe will always be Epic.
In
case you haven't noticed I kind of associate epic with difficult,
because if it's easy then it's not epic and these two fit that bill
completely. So much chemistry. I mean they have that fabulous
fighting tension that I love so much, by which I mean they spend most
of their time yelling at each other because if they stopped yelling
they would have to admit how much they really care. And they care a
lot – which is a big deal for the both of them because they don't
often care, at least not completely.
This
couple is issuelicious, Veronica can't trust anyone and Logan can't
let himself be happy so naturally their relationship is a constant
fight. Only the thing that's keeping them apart is their own
ridiculous over reactions and boy is it fun to watch. Ok so maybe I
need to get a new definition of fun but despite the depression Logan
and Veronica will certainly keep you interested.
Basically
she's just your average teenage detective and he's the damaged kid of
a Hollywood star, oh and there is the small matter of her best
friend's (who also happened to be his ex-girlfriend) murder. Romance
is clearly the logical conclusion here... sarcasm of course. They
hate eat other, and not in a cute way and there romance literally
comes out of nowhere but you know what that's one of the best parts.
I did not know I wanted these two to be together until they actually
kissed. From that moment on I was hooked on their roller-coaster
until the very end.
The
show got cancelled so some people might say we will never know the
fate of this damaged couple... but all I need to do is watch the way
they look at each other in the show's final moments to know that it
was ALWAYS Veronica and Logan.
Well
there you have it... was it what you expected? Or did I get it
completely wrong? If you made it all the way to the end of all three
blogs only to be sorely disappointed then I am very sorry but I think
I did pretty well – within the specifications. Because remember
these are not the best relationships or the most loving, this is all
about epic and epic is hard, horrible and usually ends badly. I
promise my next post will be a happy one... maybe.
