*small flail*

OK, I'm being all wanky, I know, but at least I'm doing it in my own journal.

Hayden Panetierre and Milo Ventimiglia have great chemistry. They, like a handful of their co-stars, are the kind of actors who could very potentially also have great chemistry with, y'know, everybody on the show and most of the props and scenery.

And I am not bothered about the related thing. At all. I mean, dammit, people know how I get over Peter/Nathan.

But am I the only one, seriously, bothered by the age thing? By the fact that canonically, she's fifteen (going-on-sixteen, yes, but I distinctly remember Mr Bennet saying she hadn't yet seen her sixteenth birthday), and Peter is canonically twenty-six?

And, y'know, it's not the eleven year gap that bothers me. If she was twenty-five and he was thirty-six, whatevs.

She's a child. Very mature, sure, but she's a kid. He's a grown-up. Maybe, yes, I have some very personal issues wrapped up in this, but it's ... *flails, not in the good way* Are people just sticking their fingers in their ears and going la-la-la-la?

You're not the only one bothered by the age thing. And maybe it's because I automatically block out any pairings with adults/kids, but I just don't see Peter/Claire. I'm with you -- those two have chemistry with everybody. They have a connection, but I really don't see it as anything sexual.
