mollivanders has a great post using economic theory to look at shipping and fandom. It actually made me slightly more sympathetic towards writer's 'status quo is god' mindset. Check it out.

On that subject...

5 TV Couples That Just Need To Get Together Already. I agree with all of these (although it's too late for anything to save my affection for In Plain Sight) and especially Jeff and Annie. Which I actually feel has the lowest chance of getting together. Do you remember that episode where they homaged that famous A/J vid? I felt like that really encapsulated the show's plan for Jeff and Annie - they are going to textually tease the idea that those two have romance feelings for each other, and then tell the audience the audience is crazy when we want them to hook up.

I also agree about David/Mary Margaret. While I doubt there will ever be enough Charming/Snow saving each other and/or Snow artistically injuring Charming flashbacks, I am very 'meh' about their Storybrooke counterparts.

rashaka nailed why Elena would be better off with Elijah than anyone named Salvatore:

Like the Salvatorres, he's killed untold number of humans and people over his lifetime, and is unscrupulous about protecting his family. Which makes him exactly Elena's type: handsome, older, mass murderer. But... he's so polite! Has Damon ever sent his kidnap victims an apology letter? No way. Elijah is classy, and that makes him more likable to me than Stefan or Damon. If she wants a supermodel centuries-old vampire, Elena should pick from the top shelf.

Exactly.

Yeah, Mary's pregnancy turned out to be a deal-breaker for me.
