"You wanna go again..."

What are you?

Duncan and Courtney actually have a lot in common. The whole "opposites attract" thing only refers to their streotypes. Personality-wise, they're very similar. They both have huge egos and are quite full of themselves, they both have a tendency to get violent and/or threatening when they lose their temper, and they're both extremely determined in the pursuit of their goals.

Goths and punks are actually extremely different social cliques. You never named anything Gwen and Duncan have in common besides liking horror movies. Seriously, there was never any reason given for why Gwen was attracted to Duncan in TDWT and vice versa. They just were because the plot demanded it.

Like another poster said, getting them together was clearly something they had been planning since the end of TDI. That's why they turned Courtney into an utter psychopath in Season 2, completely different from how she was portrayed in the previous season. That wanted to give Duncan an excuse to break up with her that wouldn't make him 100% unsympathetic. Yes, it was extremely sloppy and forced the way it was written. It probably would have been less so if they hadn't gotten rid of Gwen so early and actually had her intereact with Duncan more than she did, so they then could come up with real, legimiate reasons why she actually likes the guy.
