I watch shows for non-romantic plots and stories. If I wanted romance, I'd still be watching Grey's Anatomy or Grimm or something of that ilk. When ships are introduced, writers can't seem to stop themselves from making it the main plot point and/or making it completely unhealthy. That's why I like Linctavia so much; their relationship is secondary to their characters' plots and, even though they're willing to go to extreme lengths to protect each other, they still have their limits (i.e. Octavia telling Lincoln she's willing to let him go if he isn't willing to fight his addiction).

As long as Murphy stays trashy and a little skeevy, I'm down with whatever they have in store for him. I just don't want some romance to soften his edges.
