10 of the Greatest Sci-Fi/Fantasy Romances [Buffy/Angel et Willow/Tara]

Citation :

Buffy and Angel – Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel



These two have a lot to answer for. Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s subplot about a forbidden human/vampire relationship has spawned a ton of imitators in the shape of Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and True Blood. But what Joss Whedon got that none of the others did was that a soppy, defenceless teenager in love with a vampire isn’t interesting – a super-powered vampire-killing teenager in love with a vampire is.

Love is a many splendored thing: When Angel is magically rendered human they spend one blissful day together in a sun-drenched bed. But it wasn’t to last.

Love bites: Things were all going swimmingly for the couple, until their first night of passion left Angel a soulless killing machine – who Buffy had to send to hell to save the world.

Willow and Tara – Buffy the Vampire Slayer



US network TV has never had a good track record for realistic, subtle gay relationships. Generally speaking, they’re either used for titillation or they just don’t exist. But when Willow fell for fellow wicca Tara there was no sensationalism about it, no clichéd coming-out drama – it was merely portrayed as an organic development in their friendship. As a result, it remains one of the best gay relationships on American TV.

Love is a many splendored thing: When Tara’s turned insane by Glory, Willow stands by her lover and looks after her – until she gets her hands on Glory and kicks her ass, restoring Tara’s mind in the process.

Love bites: “Your shirt” Tara gasps, as blood from the bullet that kills her splatters all over Willow.

Side note : On retrouvera Buffy & Spike dans ce genre de classements le jour où les poules auront des dents Chaque année c'est pareil J'essaie de me consoler en me disant qu'ils ne prennent en compte que les couples qui ont été officiellement ensemble, mais bon... Et c'est très bizarre parce que la description pour Bangel parle d'eux comme s'ils étaient le seul couple vampire/tueuse de la série, merci de la considération

Ma frustration est sans limite quand je lis ça.
M'enfin, contente pour Willow et Tara.
