Gotta say, watching this last season, I'm reminded why I sort of prefer shipping non-canon pairings. When the two characters I wanted to get together get together, my angst ratchets up like you wouldn't believe. It all turns into sitting there going, "The writers will ruin this somehow. I just know they will." When your ship isn't canon and you never expect it to be, that angst isn't there. Barring something really, truly serious (like somebody dies- and frankly, often, not even then), it's hard for writers to kill a love they didn't think was there in the first place.
