Bob and Dot Forever

4 Like This

Okay I'm going to say this loud and clear. I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm sucker for a good series or story that throws in a bit or romance, not overkill. You wouldn't catch me reading one of those romance novels. That's way over board for me. And if something turns a bit too tragic, you can loose me.

Remember the TV series Beauty and the Beast? My fandom for that one died pretty fast after Catherine did. Does a little heartache work for me? In Doctor Who the Doctor lost his beloved Rose in a parallel universe. I kind of saw that coming. The Doctor doesn't come across as the type to get hitched.

 

I know I'm digressing but you know where I'm going. Season 2 of ReBoot hooked me. Bob was my favorite character. He is such a cute goofball obviously in love with the only girl in town, Dot Matrix. The episode AndrAIa made me laugh so hard. Watch what you say, um think. But the attraction was there even though it didn't get spoken. And that drove me nuts after the end of the episode Gigabyte.

"Dot... I wanted to tell you..."

"I know Bob. I know."

 

Ugh! Three little words! And they can't say them! It was just like Doctor Beverly Crusher's, "Jean Luc. There's something I want to tell you."

 

And then Web World Wars finally aired.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

If you hooked me up to a heart machine and showed me the last seven minutes of Web World Wars, you'd still get some serious heart palpitations. That part STILL gets me! Along with remembering trying to explain to my then sixyear old nephew what a cliffhanger was. And of course then came the lovelynews the show was canceled.

 

Bob's scream just kept running through my head.

 

Thanks to the Canadian side of border, the show came back. I read every plot leak and had copies of tapes sent to me. I had to know everything was going to be okay. And it was obvious Bob and Dot missed each other. The pay off was that first kiss. I was so happy. I didn't need to have resolving of the Daemon plot but it became a reality. And then came My Two Bobs.

 

I should have seen that coming. I had implied in a few fan fics that Megabyte knew Bob and Dot were in love. Being a virus I expected him to do something to mess their relationship up, but the copy idea was a curve ball. When the truth got revealed it gave me as much chills as it gave Dot. I really don't blame her. It looked like the old Bob I got to like too. I missed Glitch Bob but Bob had to regenerate (sorry Doctor Who again).

 

Even after that, Bob still loved Dot. My favorite shot of all time is from Crouching Binome, Hidden Virus. The love sick puppy look Bob had on his face said it all.

 

So with this meaning so much to me it has persuaded my pitch choice. Arrival is the only story trying to keep the two of them together. I'm biased and I can't help it. Those two will always be my favorites.

 

Now and forever.

    Yay, Bob and Dot! I am a fan of them too. I'll take it a step further and say I want to see them have BABIES!!! Maybe not right away. I am envisioning blue-green skin and silver-black hair. Maybe a little well-behaved boy (taking after Dot) and a goofy crazy little girl (taking after Bob). Okay fine it's cliche and too predictable. That's why I'm not a writer! ;)

    '...you know what that means, don't you?' 'No...?' Best Reboot moment ever!

    there's gotta be a love interest. Bob and Dot are great. Plus, Bob is the perfect father figure for a young rogue such as Enzo. (-; It all adds to the essence of what ReBoot is...family, love, war. yada-yada. LOVE IT! Bob <3 Dot forever!

    I was a big fan of Bob and Dot. I kind of still am but season 4 soured my impression of Dot. What did the writers have a vendetta against her? They made her a neurotic, mean I understand her being divided over the two Bobs but she treated real Bob like trash even though she clearly loved him. If season 4 ended with Dot's marriage proposal and no "Marry him? I don't think so." It would have been a perfect ending. After all they had been through the MegaBob wedding was heartbreaking to watch.

    Let's take this even to the next generation. Let's see the girl could have the blue skin, with gold eyes, and black hair, and her name could be Dixon. The boy could have silver hair and green skin, with dark purple eyes, call him Wellman. Maybe Hacker Tracer could be introduced, as Dixon's boyfriend. I've always been a sucker for the origonal couples in all shows.
