A shipper is singlehandedly one of the most annoying fans of television. They are obsessed with the notion that two characters of a TV show or movie should be or will be together. These particular type of fans have no interest in the more pertinent aspects of the show, just the romance of the characters they are shipping.
ABC's "LOST", is a perfect example of this annoying trend. The Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle have generated many shippers that call themselves "Jaters" (Kate/Jack relationship) or "Skaters" (Kate/Sawyer relationship). The shippers are occasionally mentioned and somewhat mocked by "LOST" producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
A "ship" usually gets its name by pairing the first letter of the male with the female's name, or vice versa. I.E. Brangelina.

Get the shipper namemug. Contrived and torturously convoluted writing of a TV show’s characters’ relationships, done simply for the sake of interjecting more ‘drama’ into the series.
Shipper angst typically includes elements of lose, conflict, jealousy, and both real and perceived infidelities, that adversely affect and influence the thoughts and actions the show’s characters. While these elements are standard ingredients of good drama, their overuse is unmistakable evidence of the kind of hack writing that reduces TV series drama to mere melodrama.

I stopped watching ‘Battlestar Galactica’ in the middle of the third season. I just couldn’t stand watching any more of that silly shipper angst.
