I used to ship Michael and Maria in the first season, but I was never sure what happened to their chemistry after that...Supposedly the actors were very on/off in real life which may have explained that, but I missed their steamy make outs in seasons 2 and 3 where Maria would just peck Michael on the lips lol, in season one they were hot! I always thought that Michel and Isobel would have been interesting to explore in late season 1, but I was torn because of my love for Michael and Maria. In hindsight they may as well have just gone for Michael and Isobel and tried something different, M/M dynamic was so different after the first season when Maria got all glamorous

And heh I've watched most shows in my time *g*
