I agree with just about every word you said. There were many opportunities for them to back away, most obviously at the start of S3, yet they never did. It's even followed through in the spin-off novels and storybooks.
I'd love to know, when it's all over one way or another, whether the plan was to do it all along, or whether it grew organically from Chris and Billie's chemistry together. Some of the comments on the S1 scripts do suggest the latter.
And something that has always intrigued me was, why the "forever" scene in AOG? In context, it was so provocative and apparently unnecessary to the plot. With hindsight, I think it was the writers' commitment to the ship, and to the viewers, that ultimately things would work out, whatever happened along the way.
