1. It would ruin the Goren/Eames dynamic that we currently see on the show.

2. Bobby is too closed-off to be in a "real" relationship.

3. They might get separated from each other @ work if they were dating.


More thoughts? Anyone...

4. VDO has stated he doesn't want a romance for Bobby and the writers will keep him happy.

5. The "tension" isn't there for Goren and Eames in a romantic sense, just warmth, respect and friendship.

6. He calls her "Eames", if they were in a relationship, he would be calling her Alex by now.

Next?

7. Too many of us would get mad and quit watching the show.

8. "The Big Question" would finally be answered and the mystique would be gone....

9. The fun of the "to ship or not to ship" thread would be over.....

Good ones, SisJ and flashymom!

10. There's very little touching, usually Bobby stopping Eames when he gets a clue on a cell call, etc. Not forgetting the time he touched her after she almost shot the guy who only had a starters pistol - that was a caring touch and one done by a close friend.

11. When he has a family crisis, he shuts Eames out instead of letting her help. "Back off..."

12. There have been hints over the years that they have both dated other people, but never a hint they have ever dated each other.

13. Bobby is not Eames' type

14. He called her sis.

15. They flirt with other people while working on a case together

16. Who can forget "It's too late"? While it was a resigned sigh that she is aware of the effect he has had on her career, there is a bit of underlying resentment that she is so closely connected to his 'unique investigative techniques'.

Oooooo, you guys are GOOD!

I edited my post to keep the #'s in order, sis spook.

Dang, you're good AND organized! Thanks, SIsJ!

17. Brothers and sisters DO fight and DO feel remorse and a need to reconcile. It's not just for lovers.

18. Goren and Eames have always worked as cop-partners and friends, and he "doesn't react well to change".

19. "Kissing" time would taking time from the plot of the show and we only have 43-44 minutes now.


spook

20. The bad guys would get away, Look what happen when Elliot worried too much about Olivia a Boy got killed and the bad guy got away.

20. Bobby needs Eames to scroll on the PC, not roll in the hay.

21. Touching someone doesn't mean you wanna boink them.

22. Looking at a friend with a knowing smile doesn't mean you wanna boink them.

#24. They spend all their working hours together - how much more time could they spend together before they ruin the partnership/friendship and not get on each other's nerves?

Ooo, good one, I forgot about "Fault". Poor little boy.


spook

25. Ross is pretty rigid and if he got wind of anything romantic, he would probably split up their team. Then we might have Logan/Eames and Goren/Wheeler or Goren/Logan or Goren/Jefferies or Goren/Riche or Goren/ANYBODY WHO ISN'T EAMES. That would be terrible.

26. Bobby would NEVER get to drive.


spook

#27. After all those years as partners, if Bobby were interested in Eames, he would have taken her to meet his mother voluntarily and not wait for Frank to get involved.

Hey Eames saw Bobby's mom once...


...oh yeah.


They didn't exactly get a chance to talk.


spook

AND Bobby wouldn't have brought the subject up if Frank had 'been talking Eames up'.

Like Luthor and the cakes.

28. Putting up with her partner's quirkiness doesn't mean Eames wants to boink Goren.

29. Just because Eames goes to her partner's mom's funeral doesn't mean she wants to boink said partner.

30. Bobby broke Eames' Santa mug. If he loved her he would have bought her another one. Even if it meant scouring ebay and estate sales.

31. Bobby is spending too much time searching for Donny to spend quality time with a girlfriend.

32. When Bobby finds Donny (I hope he will), he will be too busy taking him to yankees games, etc., to spend time with a girlfriend.


spook

33. Eames does not want the ring that Frank pried off Frances Goren as her engagement ring.

spook

34. The show will have jumped the

(photo taken by friends off their little boat)

Cute sharks and great reason, fleurdelis!


spook

Yes a shipper. I actually have a legitimate reason

35. The show would more than likely be canceled in the near future. (I have seen it happen with other shows that did it)

I don't want that but I can dream.

Ok, I know that debating the points probably isn't kosher, but oh well.

14. He called her sis.

It was a part of an undercover thing. How many other times have they been under cover and have posed as a couple. I'm not saying that them posing as a couple means that they are wanting to hook up, but If it dosen't work one way, it shouldn't work the other way.

Your other points were great, though. And I do not mean my comments to be mean in any way.

I'm a NOROMO to the end, but I'm afraid I have to agree on this point. Nothing he calls her while undercover counts--didn't he call her "honey" in Anti-Thesis--when they were in the shoe shop?

Every time I see your Bishop cat, it cracks me up, *jc.


spook

You're right, cifan70, "Moonlighting" is one show that comes to mind, that tanked after they partnered the two leads up. Thanks for the input! Shippers and Fence-sitters are welcomed here!


spook

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that. Going undercover is much like going to Vegas. What happens there, stays there. I mean, if they had to do the naked tango as a part of an under cover thing, it wouldn't mean that they would have really wanted to.



Thank you. I like my bishop cat.


Speaking of cats, I think that it's cluck who has the two cats in her siggy that are hilarious. I think that they're so cute.

<br /><br /><br />


I think 'Who's The Boss' did too after the leads paired up if I remember right. I loved that show too. I don't want CI to do the same.

That was great.

36. If Bobby had feelings for Eames, he wouldn't of corrected Frank when Frank thought they were romantically involved...he would of clarified!

I love your cats cluck. They crack me up every time.

37. When Mama Goren told Bobby she heard he had a girlfriend, he corrected her and said, "No, Frank misunderstood." He would have told him mom the truth.

Unless she thought that Alex was a hussy.

::wiping water off my computer screen after spitting all over it::

Thanks!

Alex a hussy? Bite yer tongue, *jc.


spook

it will never happen because vincent said himself that he doesnt want to have a romance on the show, and that if they thought he should have one he would leave the show lol... thats why it wont happen

#38. Just because Bobby comes to Alex's defense, doesn't mean he's IN LOVE with her. He is the larger more powerful of the team. He wouldn't just stand back and let her be attacked when he could do something to protect her. They are partners, he's just doing his job.

Boy you non shippers have been very busy since this thread started around noon. Why so paranoid?

I'm just lurking in this thread.

No paranoia--just lots to say!

ditto!

#39. LOCI is after all a CRIME DRAMA, not a soap opera. The two most important detectives are partners not lovers. The show is centered on the crimes and the solving of the crimes. A touch of person info is cool...the two best detective "boining" is not necessary to the continued enjoyment of the program.

#40. Eames has dated, when she was on pregnancy leave. Bobby has dated, Irene for one. If I was IN LOVE with someone I wouldn't be dating someone else.

JMHO

Just out of curiosity, when did this happen? I think my memory has gone walk-abouts.

Hi, welcome, HelloBobby! Lurk or post, everyone is welcomed here!



Vincent leaned against the desk in season 4-5 or 6 and the Santa mug fell off and broke.

Welcome to the thread SecretPhoenix! Visit and post all you want!

Good points, KimT!


41. Bobby didn't use a key to get inside Eames' apartment in Blind Spot. I think he would rather face the funny look from Ross than watch them use a battering ram on her door.

42. Work partners often work together their entire careers without boinking. It happens!

43. See that look El gives Liv? YEP. Ever see THAT look between Bobby and Alex? NOPE. I'm not talking about smiling, KNOWING looks. I'm talking about sexually-tense looks like in the E/O sitting on the porch steps look.
