Between this comment and your subsequent post I'm getting the vibe that you read my rant as equating not liking the pairing=engaging in the fail I mentioned. That wasn't my intention at all.
The relationship is problematic from a power standpoint (mind you, I don't particularly care. I ship Snape/Harry, so it'd be beyond hypocritical) and both that and not buying the actors' chemistry are perfectly good reason for not liking a pairing. Not that one NEEDS a perfectly good reason or justification for liking/disliking ANY pairing. Did I imply that it did? Hi, have me met? I'm not THAT fan!
My issue was the way some people expressed said dislike and the visciousness of Uhura attacks. It wasn't directed at anyone at my flist.
And I'd love to see Christine and Janice too-the updated version, because the original dynamics would be so offensive as to go into actual camp territory.
