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.
I tend to think a combination I suppose. Or more, they saw it early enough that it became such a focus of the series because there's an awful lot even in season 1 that, you just *don't* give characters those lines and actions unless you're portraying it as a romance.
why the "forever" scene in AOG? In context, it was so provocative and apparently unnecessary to the plot.
Well, I usually see that as one of the most Joss-y things done on the show, to show just how much they stand to lose, and by the end of the story do. Show them at their happiest, their more coupley, their most certain, just so that it can be ripped away.
