rogueslayer452New Warehouse 13 interview with Joanne Kelly.
Reading this, aside from squeeing over Myka and H.G. Wells, I agree with Joanne on the topic of Myka and Pete.
Personally, I never shipped them. I've always seen their relationship as something very brother-and-sisterly and nothing more than that. It was never played on a romantic level, however some see the subtext between them and you know what? That's absolutely fine. It's all quite subjective, you either see it or you don't, and I like that the show doesn't really confirm or deny anything between such characters. It just lets you ship whoever you want to without debunking anything and without taking away the chemistry and dynamic. They just let you have your fun without ruining the character relationships canonically, and that's something I've always loved about this show. In fact, I've always thought that most shows would be better off if they had more subtext than actual romance stirring with characters, you know? Sometimes subtext speaks way louder than an official hook-up, I'm just saying.

Date: 2011-07-13 11:59 am (UTC)Those were the two shows I was thinking of, actually (that, and Fringe) - though I can see why people ship the two ships they do, I've personally always liked the shows better when they weren't trying to hook them up. I did finally get used to Booth/Brennan, but am still trying to get used to Castle/Beckett.
The family dynamic of W13 is my favourite part about the show. I love that TV Guide kept on with the "oh, what about Pete," "oh, what about Steve" - and she just shuts them down completely. I'm a bit worried that as we go along, the show will go there with Pete and Myka (as other shows have later down the line), but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens!
