Aw, he did? That's just cruel! I am glad I never watched this show in real time.
The funny thing is I normally would be on his side. I'm just not the schmoopy type in general. Normally, I wouldn't care, especially on a sci-fi show that had such a grand storyline and complicated plot. My standard would be to laugh right along with him!
It says a lot about the characters, the writing and these actors that they affected me this much.
ETA: In a way, I am glad. It would've been worse if they'd gone all soap opera/teen romance. One of the reasons I love the characters is because they were so restrained in their public demonstrations of love.
So while on the emotional level I want to shake my fist at JMS for tormenting us that way, I think he was right. I wouldn't have wanted them to be all sappy and over the top. That's not who they are.
