10 TV Couples That Should've Ended Up Together (But Didn't)

2. Starbuck And Apollo - Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica wasn't focused on romantic relationships, but there were a few cute couples on the show nevertheless. Even after Lee got married and chunky, there was still sexual tension between him and Kara. From the very first season, it looked like they were set to end up together, but unfortunately, the writers had other plans for Starbuck.

If they didn't give her such a specific destiny, she would've made a great mate for Lee. Adama already considered her a daughter and Apollo obviously loved her. More importantly, they were both strong characters, which meant that they would often butt heads, but they'd also challenge each other to be better and protect each other at all costs.
