I like Simon/Alisha, but I don't know. I feel like it's really one-sided atm.
Unstable, is how I think of it. It's interesting, because I have another time-travel romance in another show, in which the girl and the guy dated in the future, both came back to the same time in the past (for separate reasons, at different points in their personal timeline), restarted their relationship, and then realized when they compared notes about their memories that they came from different alternative futures. That is a relationship that has some gravitas to it.
Another thing I like about her character is that she isn't given a typically female-coded power. Telepathy is gender-neutral as far as powers go, neither defensive nor offensive, and she isn't kept a prisoner of it like Alisha is. It actually comes in handy as often as Curtis's time-winding powers and has saved people's butts.
*nods* One of the many things I love about Kelly and the way that they write her is how useful her telepathy is. I'm beginning to realize that its a power that is totally underused in most comics, given how much awesomeness Kelly was able to get from it.
