Poll: On-Screen Romance

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day—and the dearth of original programming occasioned by the Olympics—the Agents of D.O.U.X have decided it’s time to talk about what we talk about when we talk about love. (Please excuse the Raymond Carver reference, Gertrude Stein style, and meta implications.)

Valentine's Day Matchmaker

Xander: "We read about it all the time. People meet on the net, they talk, they get together, have dinner, a show ... horrible axe murder."

Love makes you do the wacky. And our love for the characters on our favorite shows can make us a little wacky (but in a good way). We can’t get them boxes of chocolate, foot rubs, or tasty dinners. But we can make sure they don’t live lives of unending lonely miserable misery. So we have another challenge for you, beloved readers:

The Challenge: Determine which characters from different shows would pair well together romantically or platonically. List your pair in the comments, and if you want to have a little crazy fun, plan out their first blind date. Demon hunting? Po’ boys and Abita beer at Merlotte’s? Damiano’s pizza?

If you’re really bored and alone (no judgment!), feel free to contribute to this thread on Most Datable Characters, and check out Billie’s list of Buffy quotes on The Perils of Dating.

And, above all, please have a happy Valentine’s Day!
