Obviously whoever said this does not write, as it is a sci-fi and the majority of the audience would not accept it, I am not against that kind of thing, but I belive people who watch sci-fi don't want soppy, whatever the gender. I don't mind a brief encounter of two characters sharing a moment, but I do prefer the excitement of the action and tense moments of them being captured, you can have more impact when the two people are obviously attracted to each other, but nothing actually happens; but todd and sheppard? No, it does not gel! It would be out of character, I think?
