My Top 20 TV Couples: 10 to 6

After last year’s Top 20 TV Couples, this year I’m making it a countdown. Numbers 20 to 16, and 15 to 11 are already posted, so here are the numbers 10 to 6…

10. River Song & the Doctor (Alex Kingston & Matt Smith) – Doctor Who

While he’s not my favorite Doctor, she’s my favorite “wife” and probably my favorite companion as well (at least for Matt’s Doctor, because she as a tough competition in Donna). For a highly asexual character, the Doctor sure gets his way with the ladies, going as far as to actually marry River Song. The amazing thing about them is not even what they do as husband and wife, mainly because they hardly see each other, but the great and unique chemistry that Alex Kingston has with her onscreen (and a lot younger) husband, Matt Smith. This makes them my favorite couple in Doctor Who!

“I can’t let you die without knowing you are loved — by so many and so much — and by no one more than me.”

“You are always here to me and I always listen.  And I can always see you.”

“They engineered a psychopath to kill you.” “Totally married her!”

    

9. Sheldon Cooper & Amy Farrah Fowler (Jim Parsons & Mayim Bialik) – The Big Bang Theory

Well, well, well… What a Valentine’s Day episode that was! What a kiss, Doctor Sheldon Cooper! Ok, this is a very different kind of couple, mainly because they have been together for 3 years and shared a great amount of 3 hugs, 3 kisses (but only one real), 1 spanking session and 1 virtual “Dungeons and Dragons” sexy time. Still, we know that Amy deserves a lot more (poor girl), and I do think that Sheldon will step up, in his own quirky way.

“I present to you the Relationship Agreement. A binding covenant that in its 31 pages enumerates, illuminates and codifies the responsibilities of Sheldon Lee Cooper (hereinafter referred to as the “Boyfriend”) and Amy Farrah Fowler (hereinafter referred to as the “Girlfriend).” 

   

8. Robin & Barney (Cobie Smulders & Neil Patrick Harris) – How I Met Your Mother

This season of HIMYM has been mainly about them, oh, and the Mother off course! It’s their wedding weekend, and so far so good. We do know they get married, we already saw some images of after the wedding (Robin dancing with her father), and I’m hoping that it’s a happy marriage. Barney has proved so far that he’s ready for this big step, that he loves her more than anything, he turned from womanizer to a hopeless romantic… so cute to see!

Some reasons why they are so perfect for each other:

And this…

And more…

   

7. Lois & Clark (Erica Durance & Tom Welling) – Smallville

I appreciate these 2 even more since I saw the Man of Steel… I do not like that Lois Lane! Maybe because I like this one so much… yes, Erica Durance was everything I expect to see in Lois Lane: seriously bad-ass, sassy, smart, fearless, supporting, etc… and she’s all of this because of her man, her Clark! And I think Smallville nailed this. Not only was their chemistry off the charts, but they really made each other better. Lois and Clark (this L&C) are by bar my favorite coupling in any Superman story.

 “I wanted these vows to be perfect, but perfection’s a hard thing to get your hands on. But life is meant to be a little messy. And when it comes to love, it’s like my dad always said when it comes to the army. You only sign up if it’s the only thing you can ever imagine doing, and Clark I can not imagine spending a moment of my life without you, so I promise that I will always have your back as you will always have mine. You’re my best friend, you’re my home, you are my true love and I am yours and will be forever.”

“I, Clark Kent, take you, Lois Lane, to be my companion, forever. With you by my side I will never be alone. Though the world sees a strong and independent woman, I’ve never known someone with such gentle grace and more pure heart. When I’ve been lost you’ve always been there to bring me back, so on this day, at this moment, I pledge the rest of my life to you. You’ve always believed in me, and I believe in you. When you believe in someone it’s not for a minute, or just for now, it’s forever.”

    

6. Marshall & Lily (Jason Segel & Alyson Hannigan) – How I Met Your Mother

This, so far, has been a tough season for the Eriksen clan. But the important thing is that they love each other and they will make it thru… And they’re staying in NYC!

Great moments…

 

“Marshall, I love you because you’re funny, and you make me feel loved, and you make me feel safe. And for our anniversary, you gave me a sweatshirt that says: Lily and Marshall: Rockin’ It Since ’96. Kinda wish I was wearing it right now, because it smells like you. But the main reason I love you Marshall Eriksen, is…you make me happy. You make me happy all the time”

The Big Bang Theory: The Locomotion Manipulation

It’s that time of the year again. Valentine’s Day’s episodes popping all around… For the second year in a row, TBBT did not disappoint.

This year was mostly about Shamy, in a turn out that will have people talking for days, and hopefully, it takes their super super super slow relationship a step forward.

So, it’s Valentine’s Day, Leonard and Penny decide to have a quite night in. She buys him flowers and chocolates (that were actually free – and she ate some anyway), and he gives her Lakers tickets so she can take anyone else but him to the game… she loves it… they move the party to the bedroom and leave Cinnamon (Raj had a “date” with the telescope) in the living room with the chocolates that she obviously eats. So they rush her to the Vet, where a really mad Raj hits it off with Ivetty (the vet). She end up giving him her number, but he only finds it hours later at home.

Amy plans a weekend that even Sheldon has to agree that it’s fun, because it involves dinner in a train, sleeping in a separate room alone, and having another couple there to buffer everything (Howard and Bernie). During dinner, however, Sheldon meets another train enthusiast and leaves Amy hanging. After she points out that he’s behaving badly, she just wanted some romance, he decides to give it her (not at all nicely) and ends up kissing her (kissing is romantic). But the fact is: HE ENJOYS IT! Yay for SHAMY!!!!

I have to say that I love the normalcy of Penny and Leonard relationship, even with all those little stabbings at each other. I feel that both of them grew so much. Also, how weird is that Howard and Bernadette are the most normal couple in that mist?! Finally, 3 years in the making, and Sheldon finally kissed Amy!

The Romance Resonance – “If I Didn’t Have You (Bernadette’s Song)”

The Big Bang Theory nailed it with their last episode, The Romance Resonance, which aired last thursday. It was such a funny episode and with an enormity of plots!

Howard and Bernadette

This is going to stay in my top 10 moments of the show. Howard writes and preforms a song for his wife, for the celebration of their first date anniversary and, remember when Howard was probably the last guy on Earth you would ever consider dating? Well, not after this one! The song was written by Kate Micucci, who plays Raj’s ex-girlfriend Lucy, and her Garfunkel & Oates writing partner Riki Lindhome.

If I didn’t have you, life would be blue
I’d be Doctor Who without the TARDIS
A candle without a wick, a Watson without a Crick
I’d be one of my outfits without a dick-ey

I’d be cheese without the mac,
Steve Jobs without the Wozniak
I’d be solving exponential equations that use bases not found on your calculator, making it much harder to crack

I’d be an atom without a bomb, a dot without the com
And I’d probably still live with my mom
(All, echo: And he’d probably still live with his mom)

Ever since I met you, you’ve turned my world around
You’ve supported all my dreams and all my hopes
You’re like Uranium-235 and I’m Uranium-238,
Almost inseparable isotopes

I couldn’t have imagined how good my life would get
From the moment that I met you, Bernadette

If I didn’t have you, life would be dreary
I’d be string theory without any string
I’d be binary code without a one,
A cathode ray tube without an electron gun
I’d be ‘Firefly’, ‘Buffy,’ and ‘Avengers’ without Joss Whedon
I’d speak a lot more Klingon,
[Speaks Klingon]
All: And he’d definitely still live with his mom

Ever since I met you, you’ve turned my world around
You’re my best friend and my lover
We’re like changing electric and magnetic fields;
you can’t have one, without the other

I couldn’t have imagined how good my life would get
From the moment that I met you, Bernadette

All: Oh, we couldn’t have imagined, how good our lives would get
From the moment that we met you, Bernadette

 

Penny and Leonard

After despairing for not being able to do anything romantic for Leonard, Penny pulls out a box of everything that Leonard ever gave her, from the very beginning of their on and off and on again relationship, showing Leonard the most romantic gesture of all!

Sheldon and Amy

The main plot of this week’s episode was that sheldon found a formula and discovered a new element, only to realize afterwards that he had made a mistake and was being given credit for an error. Making him extremely miserable throughout the congratulations, articles written about him and even being raised.

Amy shows she’s a good girlfriend by being the only one who says that he should feel bad and that he shouldn’t get any credit.

The episode ends with an hilarious scene where Sheldon confesses his desire to kiss Amy… turns out, she was “in the zone”, aka, she was daydreaming.
