Tjah... been following the topic for a while, never really had time to reply...
The series' major problem is, that there simply is no suitable female character that could be paired up with Buzz. Ozma is too cranky, Bonnie a little blonde damsel in distress who has a mere zero character, Gravitina is evil and has this big lightbulb head that wouldn't even fit through a regular door... and what comes to Mira: I can't stand either that Buzz/Mira pairing. She's his teammate and friend, but I just don't see them getting involved in a romantic relationship with each other. Just plain... won't work. And now excuse me for being a Mira/Romac shipper, but I think the Grounder guy would give a few knuckle sandwiches to Buzz if he'd steal his girl. ;D Eh... Getting off topic...
Probably the only way to get a suitable girl for Buzz, is to create one yourself. Though, that doesn't seem to be the easiest thing either. FF.net provides a bunch of good (well bad, but "good" in this contradiction) examples that the frail pretty princess type isn't for the Captain, but he needs someone of strong, independent character, and who's also a challenge for him. Buzz simply loves challenges, that can be noticed from his every aspect. Heh, but luckily there's a few good examples of Buzz/OC out there, like Linn's Lex Morgans. And what comes to the age questions... I'm really not the one to argue about that since I personally enjoy writing about the younger woman - older man -juxtaposition. But, no immature kid will work either. Whoever she is, she has to be an adult to start with.
But to summarize, fanficverse and creating a suitable OC is pretty much the only way to make our Buzz' days a bit less lonelier.

Boy, I'm gone for four days and then someone finally starts posting again. LOL. I'll try to catch up a bit here and put in my two cents. ^_^ lol yeah his stories usually start like " 20 years ago when i had just graduated from the ranger academy blah blah blah ZZzzzZZZzzzz......*sleeps*" huh? what oh ;D (ranger academy or whatever they call it in english)Lol. Yeah. In the episode "Lone Wolf", he said something like what you quoted. So, if it was 20 years since he graduated that would make him - at least - forty. LOL. And that would make Ty almost equally as old, being that Buzz went to the Academy with him. Lol. *dun dun dun* So, in my fics, I compromise - like Linn - by saying he's 28 and Buzz is 29 or 30 in my fan fics. Lol. I cut it down considerably, cuz I can. ^_^ Lol. Buzz simply loves challenges, that can be noticed from his every aspect. Heh, but luckily there's a few good examples of Buzz/OC out there, like Linn's Lex Morgans. And what comes to the age questions... I'm really not the one to argue about that since I personally enjoy writing about the younger woman - older man -juxtaposition. But, no immature kid will work either. Whoever she is, she has to be an adult to start with. But to summarize, fanficverse and creating a suitable OC is pretty much the only way to make our Buzz' days a bit less lonelier. Yeah, I'd agree that Linn's Lex Morgans is a very good example of the type of girl Buzz needs. Her personality just compliments Buzz's much better than most (tough, challenging, etc). And I don't know if I can elaborate much on what everyone else said, because I think you've all pretty much covered it.

Lol yeah we've jumped on the Ozma bashing cruze ship again, and are now on our way to sink the Mira/Buzz shiper's dingy like the Titanic. I likes this vacation lol. I don't know about the age thing. I can't remember what I wrote lol. If I specified an age at all hmm. Anyways it could go either way. Buzz and Ty act and look young so it can go that way, but then there is that 20 years out of the academy thing too so it can go that way too. Confuseing show writers. But hey that's the beauty of fanfiction ,there isn't a right or wrong answer for that . But yeah I haven't seen one female character on that show that would work. And everyone has pretty much summed that up so I'm not gonna repeat it all for ya lol. I wrote in Jessie, kinda took the cow girl and twisted her around. Basically because of my stupid ex. But now that I look back, that probably wasn't the greatest fan fic character in the whole world :S. Not as bad as say a perfect glowing damsel princess in distress or senitor's daughter or the loads of other beautiful dignitary girls they love to write in, but still, I don't particuarly like her as much as I used to any more. But I'm not going to go back and change about 10 stories either, so she can stay. But I'll agree with EJ and you Ty on Lex, I think that's one of the better pairings I have seen for Lightyear. Not a damsel in distress, not a dignitary or royal, a more modern girl who gives Buzz his own stubborness right back in his face when he deserves it. Checks and balances. Ozma showed him his own stubborness back too, but she did it nastily. You know why Ozma is on Karn? Because the rest of the glaxy couldn't stand the woman. She's like the evil Jane Goodall. Only Goodall's apes and chimps don't try to eat everyone.

Too many things to reply to so I'll try and touch upon it all. I kinda got the jist of it anyways lol.
Thankies you all for the kind remaks on Lex Morgans ^_^. Glad to hear she wasn't such a totaly futile character to create. I tried my best with her, keeping her away from being a royal or plotic. Mira is already a princess, why need another one? I think people just saw Mira, liked the princess thing and that team Lightyear sometimes escorts dignitaries and ran with it. I also gave her a job that she loves just as equally as Buzz does Star Command. Buzz had to pull a lot of strings to bring her work closer to his without it being deminished. I didn't trun her into an airheaded bimbo perfect angel like so many like to write about. Brains, fire, and beauty but not perfect in every way. A deffinate mental challenge for Buzz to try and tame but not so that he would be fighting and argueing with her all the time. And they can communicate on an intelecual level also (My Buzz is smart lol). And she would do anything for him just as much as he would for her. She keeps the secrete of Zurg's relation to her (father) a secrete from Buzz even though she knows she probably should tell him, for fear it would damage what they have. And she isn't helpless, sometimes she saves Buzz's rear from the fire as well.
Ack! Enough babbling about me ^_^, self-centered little child that I am lol.
Yeah the age thing can go both ways. It's kinda confuseing. They all look and act and talk young, but then Buzz says that 20 year dealy and it's like "I think you're confused buddy." Well maybe he's not by I am lol. But like Buzz said, it's the great thing about fanfiction nothing is write or wrong when it comes to minor details like that. Like the color of Buzz's hair. EJ'shas black hair, I have brown hair, and Buzz's Buzz has blonde hair. Nobody knows what's under that hood so who's to say which one of us is wrong? It's the personal diffs each author gives their stories and drawings that makes reading them interesting.

I hate Ozma too. SHE'S SO STUCK UP AND ANNOYING.
As for Buzz-couples, I don't think he really needs one. I like Linn's couple, but I think Buzz would be just as happy alone.
Incidentally, I hate 42 as well. She dumped XR as soon as she got a body, which gives me the feeling she was just using him to get one. T_T

Right now yes, yes he does get along very well by himself. But after a while that does get old and boring, and let's face it no one would want to be alone forever and he's not getting any younger even though he does live to be 150. He did go after Ozma and there was a scene in the episode "Plasma Monster" Where he gripped about the woman he loved running off with the tennis instructor. So he's been hurt before which probably partialy influences his choice. He's not out looking for something but if the occasion and the right person happened to come around who knows. I will say that out of all the pairings Linn Saturn is by far the best and the most in canon choice.
