Everyone, including the writers of such stuff agrees that the heroes have no taste.
All good and interesting points but since I do very little with any grace, I fail to see why I should start with accepting this piece of conventional wisdom ;-)
I guess the flipside of this is realising one day you see a friend in a very different light but by this time, there's an awful lot at stake and whatever happens, things will never be the same again once something is said so there's this enormous incentive to hold your tongue.
The only place you see the reverse trend to this is fanfiction.
Another very interesting point. Only reservation I'd have is that often the relationships discussed I just don't see as developing beyond the strong friendship stage. Again, irrespective of the genders involved ie I don't see either Jack/Sam or Jack/Daniel as terribly plausible for a whole host of reasons.
