Anyway, this got me thinking about what is so great about Twilight. I think so much of the tension in these novels stems from the love triangle. Every girl wants the agonizing decision of choosing between two hot guys, right? Right.
The Vampire Diaries? Love triangle. True Blood? Love triangle. Gossip Girl? Love triangle. Um, I think. More like a love octagon? I don't know. I don't really watch it.
But my favorite show, LOST, has got one the best love triangle's eva:
TEAM SAWYER. TEAM JACK. NO, TEAM SAWYER. OKAY. I LOVE THEM BOTH. BUT I HAVE A FEELING, JUDGING FROM PAST EPISODES, NO ONE WILL GET A HAPPY ENDING IN LOST ANYWAY.But when I was a teenager, my favorite shows also had great love triangles. I may not have been into the vampire stuff then, but heck if I didn't love the drama:
Love Triangle: Joey, Dawson, Jen Love Triangle: Pacey, Joey, Dawson
I loved this show. I miss it. But we all move on...
And...
Felicity. I was Team Ben all the way. I was never much of a Noel fan, even though he was "the nice guy." Hmmmm....
The thing is, there has to be admirable qualities about all in a love triangle. There has to be flaws too. There has to be room for debate. Who would you choose? Oh, goodness. The love triangle never fails. Because there's a choice. Someone will always get hurt. Drama. Drama. Drama!
Any great love triangles I'm leaving out? Probably. Leave them in the comments!

OMG! My opinion of you has just shot through the roof. Dawson's Creek and Felicity were my favourite shows when I was a teen!!!
ReplyDeleteI was Team Pacey and Team Ben all the way!
I can't think of any more love triangles, but they ARE fun to read and watch! I do get upset when the person in the middle of the triangle doesn't pick the lover I wanted. Haha.
ReplyDeleteNow you know in my opinion the best love triange is Vampire Diaries. And I am Team Damon all the way!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is...if there were a love triangle between Sam and Dean on Supernatural...who would you choose? Thats a tough one.
Felicity had to be my favorite show EVER.
ReplyDeleteMarsha - That is a really, really tough one. But, however, I am going to choose Dean, simply because he's so dang LOYAL. That's a good quality. But Sam is so tall, dark, and handsome...I'm conflicted!
