30 Days of Shipping - Days 22 and 23

Question List

Day 22: A pairing you hate and noone understands why.
Rachel/Jesse (GLEE)

I know there was collective joy among Glee fans when Jonathon Groff joined the cast, but I thought this relationship was really poorly written and Jesse/Groff didn’t seem to know what his motivation was from one moment to the next. Groff played it at points as though Jesse was genuinely falling for Rachel, but if that was the case then the ending of the pairing made no sense at all. It was all very strange and I’m glad he’s not been in the second series.

Day 23: A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out great.
Lois/Clark/Superman (LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN)

 

Very few love triangles work out well, but this one has got to have the happiest ending I can think of. Of course, it helps (a lot) that Clark and Superman turned out to be the same person. But still, Lois got over Superman and fell for Clark before she figured it out, so I reckon even if they hadn’t been one and the same, this would still have worked out well.

I suspect the Jesse/Rachel problem has to do with the writers pulling plot twist out of various orifices and twist the plots to fit the theme or guest of the week, rather than having it come organically from the characters.

Amen to all that!
