It's already past the point of believability for me. I can't think of a single show where the "romantic tension" being used as a long-term plot point didn't make me like the show less. Two people who face death constantly for years and are really into each other not doing anything about it? That's sophomoric, not romantic.
It indicates that the writers aren't capable of writing adult human beings, only cartoon characters.
I just realized that I don't watch many shows that try to run with the "Will they?" storyline very long; I guess that's no coincidence. Lost, Dexter, Buffy, Alias, Farscape and more recently Burn Notice all used it, but all of them answered it fairly early on, and moved on to the more interesting part: what happens next. The only show I liked (at the time) that tried to use it for the entire series was The X-Files, and that turned out... poorly.
I like Chuck, and I'd watch 40 minutes of Yvonne reading a phonebook if she wore the right outfit (and used her real accent!), but it needs to grow up at least a little for me to really care about the show.
