Five Things Meme
Snagged from eowyn_315 (who snagged it from flake_sake.) The original meme asked for favourite characters across books and TV, but I've just gone for TV.
Apparently, I like sarcastic, broken men with Daddy issues and competent, clever women. Who knew?
1. Five of your most favorite male fictional characters
1. Dan Rydell (Sports Night)
2. Josh Lyman (The West Wing)
3. Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
4. Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars)
5. Daniel 'Oz' Osbourne (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Honourable mentions for inconsistent awesomeness: Marc St James (Ugly Betty) and Tom Scavo (Desperate Housewives).
2. Five of your most favorite female fictional characters
1. CJ Cregg (The West Wing)
2. Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
3. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
4. Tami Taylor (Friday Night Lights)

1. Omar Little (The Wire)
2. Topher Brink (Dollhouse)
3. Avon Barksdale (The Wire)
4. Lilah Morgan (Angel)
5. Snoop (The Wire)
Honourable mentions: Dexter Morgan (Dexter), who is an exceptionally wicked anti-hero and Marlo "Black" Stanfield (The Wire).
4. Five ships - actual ships as in something you would travel in.
1. Serenity (Firefly)
2. Galactica (Battlestar Galactica)
3. Summer Breeze (The OC)
4. The Echolls' yacht (Veronica Mars)
5. The TARDIS (Doctor Who)
5. Five theme or credit music for tv
1. The Wire (Season 4, especially)
2. Dallas
3. Doctor Who
4. Inspector Morse
5. Mad Men
6. Five of your favorite fictional nerdy characters
1. Sam Seaborn (The West Wing)
2. Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
3. Sam Winchester (Supernatural)
4. Chuck Bartowski (Chuck)
5. Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie (Veronica Mars)
Honourable mentions: Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Bones), who is awesomely geeky and super-rational, but who is being written in a progressively more cartoonish fashion. Sara Sidle (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), who is both nerdy and passionately concerned about justice for women, but whose awesomeness suffers considerably from the CSI writers having the characters narrate what they are doing, and from being a bunch of misogynists.
