Ah, February 14th, that special day each year when our thoughts turn to Aphrodite, Eros, and Love. And, for me, the loving couples of television that have influenced me over the years. Here are my Top 5, with appreciation to everyone who played a part in the creation of their legends!
1. Xena: Warrior Princess – Xena & Gabrielle
In a time of ancient gods, subtext, and censorship, there was Xena & Gabrielle. Never an official couple, these two were ‘soulmates’ who reincarnated with each other time and time again, and then got married when Xena was reincarnated as a man in the present day. Pfft. (They ‘corrected’ this in later seasons? Kind of?)
