@Lunamon: while in RL people chop and change all the time, this is still fiction we're talking about. You have to lay a certain amount of groundwork first if you want to bait-and-switch with the pairings. For example, in House M.D., the switch from House/Cameron to Chase/Cameron made sense, IMO, because C/C had been foreshadowed ever since the beginning, H/C had always been portrayed as being a bit off-kilter, and there was a 13-episode arc leading up to Chase and Cameron getting together. But the Tai/Sora/Matt business had no groundwork laid of any kind - one day, Matt and Sora suddenly liked each other, and that was that. There was no attempt to show changing motives. The idea that the characters were growing up and moving on from their old childish crushes was never actually shown to us in canon - it's a plausible fanwank, but a fanwank nonetheless.

I like M/S a lot as a pairing, but it was badly written in the show itself.
