Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richard Channing" data-source="post: 371096" data-attributes="member: 10">Did you prefer to see Bobby and Pam together or do you enjoy it more when they were separated but obviously still loved each other? For me it would be the latter for a few reasons. I suppose it helped that the seasons in which they were separated were really when the show and it's writing were at their peak, so it was handled very well. And of course generally the 'will they won't they', the frustration and the longing for a couple to be reunited, is much more enticing/exciting for the viewer than watching a relatively happily married couple week to week. Which is why even though we may long for that reconciliation, what ensues afterwards is often anti-climactic. Plus it's harder for writers to constantly come up with problems/conflict within a marriage (cheating often being the go-to) whereas the 'star-crossed lovers' already comes with conflict in-built and conjures up a yearning in the viewer to see what will happen next and if they'll get back together. You've got something to root for. So for me personally, having them apart, and all the forces that were at play to keep them apart, was more enthralling than when they were married and then later remarried.[ATTACH=full]47438[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
