Hello *waves* Sorry--new DW has me massively behind on everything /o\
Picard/Crusher: I shipped this so hard in middle school (and Crusher was by far my favorite TNG character). My sister got bequeathed my ST recordings at one point and had to call me up to point out that the only TNG episodes I had taped had P/C elements--I make no apologies for this. Also the first ship I ever read fic for. I'm actually rather hesitant to go back to TNG and watch them again because I don't want to find out that really I was a moron and that I hate them now or something like that.
Simon/Kaylee: One of my favorite things about Firefly. They were cute with each other and Simon was hot, so I definitely watched for them. Ultimately, though, Firefly doesn't do that much for me, so while I had a good time rooting for them, I probably wouldn't have really thought of them much again after I'd finished watching were it not for how Firefly obsessed fandom is.
Mal/Inara: Never cared. I think I liked them better platonically and got a bit annoyed with how the show teased with them.
Helo/Athena: I enjoyed them well enough while they were still on Caprica together, although I liked most of the other elements of the show more. Once they got back to the fleet, though . . . they managed to continually rankle me. I did feel very bad for them with everything that happened with Hera, but I was also in this perpetual state of low-level annoyance with them: I think they generally came off very condescending and holier-than-thou. Helo was just generally not a favorite, though, except when he was being friends with Starbuck. And I always sympathized a lot more with Boomer than I did Athena :-\
Amy/Rory: I went from being convinced they were a bad idea in season five and hoping for Amy to be free of him to really loving the couple they grew into and being all warm and fuzzy over them. I'll admit they get a lot less of my fannish energy than Doctor/River, but I do like getting pointed to a good fic for them, and if the Pond family doesn't end this season in a happy state there will be vicious fuming. Also, I am SERIOUSLY DISPLEASED with how they're being treated on the show right now (especially Amy) but am biting my tongue til I see how it all plays out.
Hmm, I did get through all the Sherlock episodes (and the third is far better than the second, fyi) and had a good time watching them twice or so. And then I said "well, that was fun" and went on with other things. I'm not quite sure how you get a fandom out of them, tbh--there's not that much there. Only three episodes, not much depth . . . But then also, I'm not a slasher, so . . .
