The Best Couples of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy World

[Skellington]

The Doctor and Rose (they never got it together and the Doctor is generally asexual but they had great chemistry anf their last scenes together had great poignancy)

When she made out with the Doctor's mentally unstable clone right in front of him?

That would be as distinct from the mentally unstable original.
Rose and the Doctor (particularly Nine,imo) have a great relationship, though.

My choices include some comic book ones:
Scott Summers / Jean Grey from Chris Claremont's run on Uncanny X-Men and Bruce Banner / Betty Ross from Peter David's run on The Incredible Hulk.

Of course John and Aeryn from FARSCAPE....There is no couple close to them in Sci-Fi...Hell just watch it and you know what I mean...After tem maybe Roslin / Adama in BSG

 

[Blamo]

Sheridan and Delenn certainly.
4th Doctor and 2nd Romana.

 

[Skellington]

Sheridan and Delenn certainly.
4th Doctor and 2nd Romana.

Tom Baker and Lalla Ward were married for a while in real life. She's now Mrs Richard Dawkins.

For my money, nobody beats the chemistry that Browder and Black had on screen. Nobody.

The only pairing I've seen that even approaches the Black / Browder chemistry was Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg in The Avengers. Otherwise I agree 100% - Black and Browder were completely off the scale in the degree of zing they brought to their characters and to Farscape in general.

Han/Leia

Yeah Browder Black chemistry was perfect , I mean perfect. But as I said chemistry aside writing of John and Aeryn story was so incredible damn it shows the potential idle in tv script writing....

Doctor/Master (any incarnations will do, though I particularly like Davison/Ainley and Tennant/Simm) (you can't tell me that they are not a couple, because they SO are)

No really. They aren't a couple at all. They of course have an adversarial relationship which may describe many couples, but no physical/emotional/sexual relationship exists between the two which would encourage both of them to want to spend their time together until they die. That is a pretty basic, fundamental description of a couple.

I appreciate you like the pairing, and the mechanics of the way they work and interrelate, but that doesnt make em a couple. sorry.

They aren't?

 

[Valin]

John Carter and Dejah Thoris--they were from literally different worlds, but fate brought them together, and nothing could separate them for long.

 

[Goji]

John and Aeryn definitely wins.

Aside from that well known choice, my favorite is probably Kevin Burkoff and Tess Doerner on The 4400. Kind of a dysfunctional couple (if only because they are both dysfunctional people), but oddly endearing. The diner scene in "Daddy's Little Girl" is especially cute, touching and rather funny too.

 

[Anji]

Helena and John from Space:1999.

You guys haven't seen "The Curse of the Fatal Death" have you?

Oh I have, and Jonathan Pryce makes a wonderfully fey Master.

For those that haven't, here it is, "The Curse of Fatal Death."

Okay, I have to watch Farscape now.

Sheridan and Delenn from Babylon 5 immediately spring to mind, and then Bill Adama and Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica. Their relationship was one of my favourite arcs in the whole show, and in the finale it was their last couple of scenes that made me cry. That sentence can apply to either pairing.

 

[RoJoHen]

Okay, I have to watch Farscape now.

This is always a good plan.

 

[Kegg]

Okay, I have to watch Farscape now.

Oh yes you do.

Crichton/Aeryn's relationship was sometimes too soapish for my tastes, which is why I didn't mention it (and yet Tigh/Ellen is not soapish, hmm? Alright, of course it is, but it's bitter and moody! I'm not fond of true love type stories?) but the series is genuinely excellent and one of the best space operas of the last twenty years.

Also, it's hilarious.

Also, killer muppets.

Also, watch it now. I want to rewatch it again and I just finished doing so a couple of months ago.
