I seriously doubt it. The whole point of the show is the contrast between good and evil, love and hate. If love -lost- in the end, the credibility of what the writers are trying to show would be completely contradicted. Do I think they could have some conflict? Sure... Every relationship does. Do I think they're doomed? Not at all.

The entire first season would be a waste of time, otherwise - particularly the flashbacks to FTL.

I actually -don't- like Rumpbelle, specifically because of their conflicts. Yes... real couples fight - but not all the time, and typically, when they fight they work things out.. They don't just magically forget about the issues because of a sob story and agree to get hamburgers.

Charming and Snow may not be controversial... but true, righteous love should be sappy and all encompassing. It should come across as "fake" or "cheesy", because it's so friggin hard to -find- love like that, now adays.

I'd much rather see their love -survive- in a world where it's an unpopular idea, because, by God, it's the paragon of -hope- !
