I’m having a Real Life thang at the moment that is adversely affecting my fannish time, but I can’t resist this meme. Which I am shamelessly stealing from cassiopeia7. Also, stealing some of her answers!
Sean Bean! Sharpe!!! What's your favorite Sharpe? I think Eagle is my favorite but I like Sword too (mostly because of Jack and Father Curtis). Did you read the books? That's how I ended up here to start with. Have you seen Extremely Dangerous with Sean?
Love your icon! Sharpe's Sword is my favorite, and Eagle is probably my second favorite. ;D
I've seen most everything Sean Bean has done... you know, I started the Sharpes because I'd just seen Lord of the Rings and wanted to see Sean play a good guy. (I think the only thing I could remember having seen him in prior to that was Patriot Games.) Apparently, he'll be in a new TNT series this summer.
(I have read some of the books, and noticed that the author dedicated one to Sean, and tweaked his character description a bit to match Sean's portrayal. And I used to have an audio CD of one of the Sharpe books read by Sean. I think I loaned it to someone and not sure if I ever got it back...)
What a fun meme! But some of the questions are HARD and it makes me realise exactly how much TV I watch...yikes.
Firefly would be on my list of shows I haven't gotten around to watching yet, as well as Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. But I'm still loving Arrow and Suits!
And I always sing along to Bing Bang Theory and Friends! Every time, without fail :)
Ahhh.... Man from UNCLE! My sister gave me the DVD collection as a gift, which makes it all the more meaningful. She knew me when.... ;D
Did I ever tell you I had a friend whose *husband* wrote MfU fanfic? And he was such a *guy* about it. I remember a story where Illya was missing, and Solo was all 'well, I need a new partner then, because I have this mission to complete...' Not a hint of angst! LOL!
Off to check and see if you've done the meme yet...
Because it was last question and the show I most regret seeing canceled and the best TV series ever made - Firefly. There are shows that are great and amazing and every other positive adjective I could come up with, but I haven't seen an ensemble cast/show yet that equals the love I have for Firefly. Miss.
Sharpe - I think Sharpe's Gold was the only one we haven't seen more than three times....:)
The to be watched possibility shows? I think Almost Human is worth a look when watched in order. Shield is becoming more interesting and some of the characters are reaching a complexity that I expect from Joss Whedon. Musketeers - YES! The fun of this series is the best kind of chocolate.
Believe - an interesting premise, but kind of meh? It's heavy. The music is wrong too.
Combat! You could pick one?! Good choice. It was the kid thing, wasn't it?:)

I see what you did there
Indeed. Sometimes it's best to tread carefully. ;)

I have started the meme (done it in fact) but my eyes are drooping so I'll post it tomorrow. It's great thinking about past shows.
