So much WORD on SG-1 and Smallville. And I'm a diehard shipper. I couldn't live without the romance on Farscape.
But I so do not want any romance on SG-1 (or in the future movies) and I really, really would prefer no romance for Lois/Clark on Smallville. SG-1 is about the team and the friendships. The setup of the show simply does not lend itself to onscreen romances, subtext is fine enough for me. And Smallville, well, I'm a stickler for mythos.
And, now that I think about it, I'm the same for Supernatural. It's all about the setup/premise. It's about two brothers and their bond as they fight bad guys. That's what I want to see.
And, yet, I'm so not opposed to romantic fic for any of these shows. I read 'em all the time. Love them. I guess it's about what is good onscreen vs. what's good in fandom. Two very, very different things a lot of the time.
And then, like Farscape, there are shows/movies where I feel the romance should be text. It really comes down to the show itself, the writing and the overall plot/premise. The John/Aeryn relationship was a key part of the growth for both characters. Or like with Lois & Clark:TNAOS, the romance is part of the plot of the show.
