I freely admit that Alec is my favorite character(though, in all honesty, if I started watching the show for the first time now, I'm not sure I'd still like him, as I've grown extremely critical of the character type due to over exposure) but yeah, if you don't like Max and/or Logan, there's really no point in watching the show.

I've seen a LOT of the "this is my OTP, even though I don't like her" (I...I admit I'm kinda guilty of the opposite, except it tends to be "I probably wouldn't like him if he weren't so hung up on her," if you know what I mean...kind of like how I can't help but slightly like McKay in SGA when his crush on Sam shows up, or when he's being protective of Elizabeth) from people, often from people who slam slash fans for being jealous of female characters, when they just seem to be jealous of them themselves.
