Anti-ship meme

thelibraniniquitySnagged from a friend's flist, because I clearly have nothing else better to do while loading episodes into Pinnacle.
The Anti-ship meme.
The rules are simple: List 10 popular (or even unpopular... and preferably canon, because it's more evil that way) ships that you just do.not.ship./can.not.ship./will.not.ship. period. It doesn't matter what your reasons are, but tell us why anyway! Because anti-ships deserve as much passion as real ships do!
Disclaimer, or "Dear people on flist who ship any of the below pairings": Variety is the spice of life, mmmkay?
10. Gibbs/Shepard (NCIS)
No, no, a million times NO! I should have realised I was screwed from the first scene introducing 'Madam Director' and that ucky grainy flashback to Paris. The first of so fucking many. Okay, so they were unprofessional and shagged for a week in Paris. Did they really need to hammer that point home EVERY SINGLE EPISODE from thereonin?
Apparently they did.
My beef with this ship is mostly with Jenny Shepard. She's not objective where Gibbs is concerned - hell, she's barely objective any time, let alone when it's concerning him or his team. She uses their past affair to gain leverage when Gibbs is in a coma (and acts like a brat when she doesn't get her way), and... by season 5, she was really beginning to piss me off. Especially where Lt. Col. Hollis (Gibbs' love interest for about a year) was concerned. Jealous bint.
THAT SHIP HAS SAILED, JENNY-POO. G. T. F. OVER IT.
Ahem.
09. Samantha/Martin (Without a Trace)
No chemistry, no point, no emotional draw when she inevitably ended it with him.
Moving on...
08. Bashir/Ezri Dax (Deep Space Nine)
Ew. Just... ew. It was bad enough when Bashir randomly relapsed into mooning over Jadzia Dax after she got married. She gets killed off, and in waltzes this little pixie (who I would have loved to have seen shipped with Jake) joined with the Dax symbiont (and complete with "woe is me for I was joined without training" attitude) and whaddya know, she and Julian are in bed before the end of the season. That's just really fucking creepy, man.
07. Sheppard/Weir (Stargate Atlantis)
I really don't get it.
06. Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who)
See above, with bonus whiny crybaby!Rose ruined "School Reunion" and the season 4 finale for me.
05. Sam/Jack (Stargate SG-1)
Winners of the "most forced UST EVAR" competition. "Threads" made me laugh, but not in a good way. LOL EVERYONE SUDDENLY SHIPS SAM/JACK BUT WOE IT IS NOT TO BE.
*snort*
04. Peter/Claire (Heroes)
They're related. Admittedly I liked the possibility before finding out they're related (everyone's a Petrelli dontcha know), but once that was revealed - both to the viewers and the characters... no. Incest ships in general don't to anything for me personally, but this one in particular... no.
03. Lorne/Parrish (Stargate Atlantis)
Again with the really not getting it. Never mind Parrish was only onscreen for a total of about two minutes, three tops. I... no, I just don't get this one.
02. House/Cameron (House, MD)
Oh, where do I begin!?
01. McKay/Sheppard (Stargate Atlantis)
I'm well aware that almost everyone and their pet monkey appears to ship these two. Admittedly this pairing was my introduction into the fandom, well, because it accounts for maybe 90% of everything out there. I can barely see them as friends onscreen most of the time (especially on the occasions when we're *told* they're bestest buddies instead of actually shown it), let alone the romantic side of it. On the other hand I have issues with SGA on more consistency issues than their two most prominent male cast members, so... yeah. I don't ship it. Not now, not ever.
Omitted from list (aka bonus anti-ships I couldn't not mention), and in no particular order:
-- Chase/Cameron (House, MD)
-- Jack/Gwen (Torchwood)
-- Don/Charlie (Numb3rs)
-- Jack/Samantha (Without a Trace)
-- Sam/McKay (Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis)
-- Worf/Ezri Dax (Deep Space Nine)
-- Booth/Brennan (Bones)
-- Hotchner/Reid (Criminal Minds)
-- Benson/Stabler (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit)
-- Simon/Kaylee (Firefly/Serenity)
