Top five shows you've never vidded, but wish you had
1. Dexter
Someday I will vid it. It's on the list! But it's tough... There are so many complexities about the characters and the whole show that makes it difficult to find a song that will fit...
2. Stargate Atlantis
Ok, so I did make one vid of this show. BUT I made it years ago (ok, one or two), when I was still watching season 1 and even then I wasn't completely satisfied with it. So I wish I could make more vids of this show... It's also on the list!
3. Arrested Development
Oh, this looks like such a great show to vid! Fun characters that have a lot of screen time on each episode, fun relationships to be explored, and a fun ensemble that is perfect for a really fun general vid. What's stopping me from vidding this is anybody's guess. Yup, this one's also on the list.
4. Battlestar Galactica
This isn't officially on the list, since I haven't officially started watching the show. Or rather, watched a couple of episodes and then stopped. Still, it still looks like an awesome show, full of awesome vidding possibilities.
5. Supernatural
Ok, here's the thing. Supernatural is the fandom with the best collection of vids I've seen. I haven't seen one bad vid about it. Maybe it's a coincidence and all recs were good ones, but it doesn't look like it. It seems like this fandom is the complete opposite of Torchwood (finding a good Torchwood vid is TOUGH!).
All this makes me interested in watching Supernatural and then eventually vidding it. Although the quality of the vids is truly intimidating.

Top five of your favorite female characters
1. Aeryn Sun
She's the toughest female character I know. Also, she's the one with the most character development I've ever seen. She changed so much from the first episode of season 1 to the very last scene in Peacekeeper Wars it's not even funny. Also, when I think of her, I immediately recall that scene at the end of Peacekeeper Wars when the scary-evil-scarran-lady-whose-name-I-forgot is about to kill Crichton, then Aeryn shows up and kill her while holding her son and going "It's a boy, in case you're wondering".
I love her. LOVE her!
2. Elizabeth Weir
She's the heart and soul of Atlantis, I don't care what Mallozzi might say. She's strong, she's confident and she's a damn good leader. Because of her, the expedition went this far. She kept them all together, she kept them in their place. Without her, I always have a feeling Atlantis might not feel like a home to them anymore.
3. Lisa Cuddy
She's the only one who can control House! That's saying a lot!
4. Jamie Buchman
I love Jamie so much. She's so confident and funny and adorable.
5. Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles
Chuck is the definition of lovely. 'Cause that's exactly what she is, she's lovely, she's funny, she's got cool clothes... AND she's got the cutest boyfriend ever. But besides all that, I love her positive attitude!
Honorable Mentions

Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan
Princess Leia

2. Catupiry
3. Camembert
4. Mozzarella
5. Goat cheese
Honorable Mention
All other kinds of cheeses...
Top 5 favorite shows of all-time
1. Farscape
It was sci-fi, it was funny, it was angsty, it had cracktastic episodes... Plus, my one OTP for life: John and Aeryn. It was the show that introduced me to online fandom and vidding.
2. House
House and Wilson have the best friendship on television right now. And since I'm all about friendships when watching TV shows, it's no surprise I love it so much. Besides, I love the mysteries. And House is one of the best characters ever!
3. The Adventures of Pete and Pete
My first "fandom", so to speak. I used to watch all episodes religiously, I had my little OTPs and theories and even got to write a couple of really short fanfics that were thankfully destroyed. But besides all that, this was truly a one-of-a-king show. They don't make kids shows like this anymore. It was just so hilariously bizarre! And also, Michelle Trachtenberg might be in all kinds of shows, but she'll always be Nona to me. :)
4. Mad About You
My favorite sitcom ever. I'll always love Paul and Jamie... and Murray. :)
5. Pushing Daisies
This one was added to the list quite recently, but with a very good reason: it's just gorgeous! The visual, the colors, the narrator, Ned, Chuck, Emerson, all the funny little names and bizarre cases, the faerie tale-ish feel of it all... I just love it!
Honorable Mentions
The Daily Show & The Colbert Report
Doctor Who
Whose Line is it Anyway?
Blackadder
delennbr also asked for other lists, but I couldn't figure out what to put in those. *blush*
