Re: Eric & Calleigh #20 -- With Every Fiber... Of Her Pantie
I think we
all think about this way too much. I know I've probably spent more time thinking of different ways to join and break-up these two than I have thinking about stuff that pertains to my actual life. :lol:

How I think it will go is a different story. I think the writers will move them closer to each other emotionally. I don't think we will see anything physical between them this season but if they are going to get them together, I see it happening next season. As for how long they will make it last......that is a hard question to answer b/c the writers really could make it go either way.
If they keep them together the writers could show how hard it would be for them to work and be in a relationship and of course there is the opportunity to expand the emotional base of Calleigh's character. You could also get conflicting personal and professional views interacting at work. We've seen how easily Calleigh can separate work from home but can Eric?
If they don't keep them together then of course there is opportunity for the writers to explore the akwardness of them working together afterwards and the complications of any unresolved emotional ties/issues...ie any jealously or the fact that both of them *want* to be back together but struggle with it because of work.
My feelings are pretty much on par with Jackie's on this topic. Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind if they got them together and broke them up, if it happened at a later date and was handled maturely. In fact, I think I'd rather enjoy it. I could see them getting together quitely and without much fanfare (so no huge declarations of undying love ladies. Yet, that is
). They would be together for a good while, and they'd be extremely happy for the most part, but of course, no relationship is without its problems. This is one of the things I enjoy the most about this pairing, getting them together is only half of the fun, there's so much to expand upon with both characters once they are in that situation. As others have said, Eric's probably going to have a tough time separating work from his personal life. Calleigh's going to want to keep in under wraps, whilst Eric will probably want it to be out in the open. It doesn't even have to be totally work-related either. Maybe an argument that started between the two as colleagues will spill over into being personal. Or maybe work will have nothing to do with it at all, we know they both have interesting family situations, seeing them try and deal with whilst managing their relationship that would be fascinating. And of course, neither of them has been in a secure, long-lasting relationship in quite a while, how are they going to deal with that change? There's so many opportunities to be had here that are fresh and new and would really move the characters along; I can't believe the writers don't want to jump all over this.
Anyway, back to what I was saying, in this time, although problems may arise, this is where they show us what we already know, that besides all their issues that they are meant for each other and do make each other happier than they thought they could be. *is pathetic*
.
But then, say one of these issues gets the better of them and they split. To me, having Calleigh pull away from Eric the moment soemthing goes slightly awry is
very in character. The split opens up even more opportunities too. The awkwardness of working together. Will they try and make their friendship survive or just let it fall by the wayside? Can they even be friends after all this? And of course, eventually, as much as they try to deny it, the feelings will still be there underlying. You can expect them to crop up again at the most inappropriate moments.
The angsty moments will be great, you know Adam and Emily will kick the crap out of them!
Of course, after all that we'd get our happy ending whenever the series ends for good. I'm an angsty wench, but even I need to happy ending when it comes to these two, they've suffered enough! (and so have we!
)
I don't want them to get these two together just to make drama. That would be ridiculous and a complete waste. If TBTP gave me that option right now, as difficult as it'd be I'd turn it down, because as much as I want to see this couple go canon, I wouldn't want it treated like that; all the potential would be ruined and it would probably end up unsalvagable. I'm happier to wait it out, as gut-wrenching as that can be at times. If they must keep it until the very end of the shows run, then so be it. I'll still be here waiting. Of course, if they were going to go through with that, they'd
have to give us something in the meantime.
I'm going to be really frickin' pissed if nothing comes out of this near-death experience, not only as a shipper, but just a fan in general. Something should come out of an event as big as this. Again, it's a great opportunity for some character development any way you cut it. Hopefully for us, whatever they decide to make out of this, Calleigh will be involved. Heck, even if Eric says he wants to go and get a sex change so he can run off with a man called Sergei (who happens to be the most limber member of the Moscow State Circus) to a foreign country where their love will no longer be bound by the shackles of an oppressive Republican government and they are free to wed in a commitment ceremony more lavish and fabulous than that of Elton John and his 'man candy' David Furnish then he should tell Calleigh. After all she
is his closest friend, after all.
C'mon writers, you need to do something about this right now. You have television gold at your disposal, don't bloody waste it!
Thank the Lord it's nearly Montag. *hops off to take her meds*
