[public] this, that, and a meme
tv: I watched the two episodes of Doctor Who that aired on Friday night. It took me several days to watch it all because I kept getting interrupted but I did enjoy it. Christopher Eccleston is wonderful and I am now anxious to see the movie Shallow Grave which stars him and my beloved Ewan. And even if the show is technically labeled a comedy I was very close to tears at the end of the second episode.
My sister and I checked out the DVD set of Freaks and Geeks from our library. We have watched the first four episodes and are enjoying it to the point that we are considering in investing in our own copy. James Franco was born to play a perpetually-stoned character. Is/Was anyone else a fan?
movies: We also watched the movie Troy this weekend because my sister's Western Civ professor/my U.S. History professor was discussing just how atrocious it was. It really was as horrible as he said, with Eric Bana being the only enjoyable thing about it. And then he died, and I barely paid attention after that. Orlando Bloom did provide quite a few (unintentional) laughs though.
meme: I swear that at least half of my flist has done this, and I'm bored, so I'm doing it as well.
List Your Top Six Favorite TV Show
(These aren't in order and they're technically not my six favorite.)
1. Veronica Mars
2. Battlestar Galactica
3. 24
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
5. Firefly
6. Grey's Anatomy
1. 1. Who is your favorite character from 2 (Battlestar Galactica)?
Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol. Do not question this love.
2. Who is your least favorite character from 4 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)?
I suppose that that would have to be Kennedy.
3. What would a crossover between 1 (Veronica Mars) and 5 (Firefly) include?
Since that would involve a tremendous amount of time travel, I can't wrap my head around the concept enough to come up with an idea. Or maybe one of Veronica's descendants would meet up with the Browncoats and help them solve some case or another.
4. Who is your favorite ship from 6 (Grey's Anatomy)?
Cristina/Burke.
5. If you were to set one person from 3 (24) and one person from 6 (Grey's Anatomy) on a blind date, who would they be?
President Charles Logan and Miranda Bailey because she would have him in possession of a spine in no time.
6. If you could meet one person from 4 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
Rupert Giles. I wouldn't care what we did so long as he talked about his life for a while.
7. If you could change one thing about 2's (Battlestar Galactica) plotline, what would you change?
Once upon a time there was an episode called Black Market. I would make it disappear.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show 5 (Firefly), and why you like the relationship between them?
I feel like skipping this one. . .
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from 1 (Veronica Mars) and 3 (24) were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
I'd save Veronica, because Jack could save himself with no problem.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for 4 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), what order would you choose?
Do you really think I care?
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for 6 (Grey's Anatomy), what would the character be like and what would their role be?
How about someone who doesn't work at the hospital?
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show 2 (Battlestar Galactica)?
Ha ha ha. That would imply that I only have one favorite episode. And besides, if I was pressed to pick only one, do you really think that I could describe the events of the miniseries in only a few sentences? I don't think so.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of 1 (Veronica Mars), who would it be and how would you do it?
Gasp! Kill someone from Neptune? It's not possible!
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show 3 (24) or show 5 (Firefly), which would you choose?
Firefly may have been cancelled, but it would still have the Joss, so it wins.
15. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, who would it be?
There is no way, I repeat, there is no way that I could pick just ONE character to date. Sheesh. I'm not decisive enough for that. (But the answer might be the same as the one for the first question. Might. Because I love him a lot.)
Well, that was a fabulous waste of time. I'm off to be bored elsewhere.
