Ohh, I just had a ship overload. Can't decide, can't decide omg. *flail*
It's a tie, I think, between John/Delenn and Roslin/Adama. John/Delenn is not the oldest (I think the oldest would be Picard/Crusher, oddly enough) but it's the strongest of the older ones. When did I feel really invested. Well, although it was there all the time, I must confess I didn't *realize* how much I loved them both together more or less until John realizes for his part, that is, until "And the rock cried out". Yes, of course he *knew* before, they both did, but that's when they look it in the eye, as it were, and *decide* (I'm overusing the ** emphasis, I think). Anyway, I remember I was watching that episode on spanish tv and taping it, but I had to leave for work right after John's conversation with the preacher guy. I can tell you, my mind was NOT on the class I was giving that day, and when I came back home I had a moment of outright panic because I thought I'd forgotten to tape it and arrrggghhh... Thankfully, I hadn't, and the rest is history.
The other one would be Adama/Roslin. I guess relationships that are given time to evolve naturally and where the couple is slightly more mature appeal to me. I started watching BSG not so long ago and these two just blew me away. I watched the whole show three times in a row just for them. I can't remember any specific scene that made me realize I was especially invested in that couple, I really do think it was right from the start. The first moment I saw them together in the same scene, I thought "ok, there *has* to be something there. And that was that. I was hooked.
And, at number two (or three and four) depends how you are counting, would be Buffy/Spike and Janway/Chakotay, which last one is a guilty pleasure and not even really canon, but there you go.
