Omg, awesome meme from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monkeyfromhell that I am now throwing onto my LJ for the fun of it.
List Your Top Six Favorite Shows (not actually in order)
1. Firefly
2. Battlestar Galactica
3. Dark Angel (for reasons unknown even to me sometimes)
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
5. Jag
6. Stargate Atlantis
1. Who is your favourite character from #2?
Lee Adama. The man is principled, well muscled, speaks incredibly well, still manages to have flaws like being slightly short sighted, uptight, and can hold a grudge like no other.
2. Who is your least favourite character from #4?
Um... I really did not enjoy Riley.
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
Majorly on crack. Lawyers in space, I cannot even fathom. Maybe if you set the characters of JAG in the Firefly 'verse and had a meeting of minds between Harm & Mal, and there was much angst, a whole lot of resentment, miscommunication, and finally an understanding between the man who hates the Alliance and has no ideals (or he thinks he doesn't) and the man who is incredibly idealistic and works for the Alliance as a spiff-tastic defense lawyer.
4. What is your favourite ship from #6?
Oh, I am torn. I like Sheppard/Elizabeth because there's more fandom for it, but when Sheppard/Teyla is written well... it's awesome and usually very hot.
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
Rodney and Original Cindy (despite her being a lesbian) would just be an amusing thing to watch.
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
I would say Dawn. All the others would drive me nuts at the end of the day, Spike would scare me, Angel would indtimidate me, but Dawn, she would have cool stories about all the other people and we would end up talking about boys. Tara runs a close second.
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change?
Oy! Um... Make Blackmarket NEVER HAPPEN? I think I would step away from the ridiculous notion that you can't have two characters who have AMAZING chemistry and put semi-reasonable but slightly convoluted reasons for them not being together- in other words, I don't think adding the Kara/Anders and Lee/Dee in order to prevent Lee and Kara from ever becoming more than friends, adding some sort of fall-out in the year we didn't see them, is kind of ridiculous. The two characters SERIOUSLY have enough baggage all on their own to prevent their immediate hookup, they had to add more? And seeing those two resolve that baggage and maybe even engage in an adult relationship that had its own tensions and it would have been interesting.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
While I totally ship Harm and Mac, that's a huge mess that would take to long to go through. I really loved whenever Harriet interacted with someone other than her husband Bud (despite their marriage being interesting for each of their characters development) because she was such a sweetheart and it was inevitably endearing and sweet. I have a fondness for Harm and Harriet who had a bit of chemistry all to themselves and they both loved Bud and it was kind of cool.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Mal, because he's Captain Tightpants and while I'm sure he can swim, I wouldn't mind saving him, but Max can totally save herself, she certainly jumps into the water enough times in Season One to answer that.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?
Umm... I think some of the minor characters should have been included more often (Tara, Spike, Angel, Anya, etc) and Riley should never have made it to that lofty sixty seconds of remix.
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of characteryou wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like and what would their role be?
Umm... there are lots of new characters on Atlantis already... I kinda really like Lorne.
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?
Oh tough, um, I would have to say Act of Contrition/You Can't Go Home Again (IT'S A TWO PARTER!) because Kara angst and then Kara kicking ass to find her way home is awesome. And Pappa-Adama and Lee fighting to save her is awesome too.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
omg, this is so evil. I refuse to answer this on grounds of trauma experienced during Serenity
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
Um, I think I would visit Dark Angel, because it was a cool set in terms of the production values and... Jensen...
15. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Umm.... John Sheppard or Lee Adama. I love Mal, but he's really angsty and it's part of what makes him an interesting character and impossible for me to see him in a practical relationship. Alec is adorable but essentially an arrogrant sociopath and thinks humans are puny. Harm is also adorable but is arrogant (in a charming way) and crazy idealistic to boot. He needs Mac who is tough and kickass to temper that. And Angel is also angsty and kind of old and undead. Spike is hot, but really if you met him in real life, he would be SCARY. But Lee and John? Totally. John more than Lee because John is a little more at home with himself and I totally admire that. And he's funnier and has self-depcriating humor and can still take out a contingent of armed Genii who invaded your floating city if need be.
And the icon is because I am exhuasted and hate myself at the moment. I am here procrastinating instead of writing the 10-page paper I have due at midnight tonight... After finishing a 10-page paper this morning and before I study for my last final tomorrow at three. While I get three extra days of spring break, it is not worth this aggravation to have my entire quarter wrapped up in a very hectic weekend and two days of deadlines and a test. Eval.
