MEME TIME: pick 5 TV shows without looking at the questions first, then answer the questions.
1 doctor who
2 star trek
3 mission impossible
4 the sarah jane adventures
5 the monkees
01. Who's your favorite character in 2?
Across every version of Star Trek i think its still the tribbles :) different crew appeal to me differently but no one character stands out. Its an ensemble show really.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1?
tricky. Theres an awful lot of dr who, even if you limit yourself to some of its output. Personally I’d say the tollkeeper from Delta and the Bannermen. Nothing wrong with Ken Dodd but he was symptomatic of what was wrong with the show at the time
03. What's your favourite episode of 4?
the temptation of Sarah Jane in series 2
04. What's your favorite season of 5?
Of the two years the lads were more contrallable in the first year. Its got more plot and direction (basically being a hard days night informed by the marx brothers rather than the goon show)
05. Who are your favorite ship in 3?
Mission wasn’t really a show that allowed for shippyness. But i think if i were to invent one i’d involve Dana and Jim Phelps
06. Who are your anti-ship in 2?
Classic trek would be anything involving slash. Not because they dont deserve it but because for years there was only slash to read in fanfics
07. How long have you watched 1?
34 years in the last week of november
08. How did you become interested in 3?
watched a repeat in the 80s and liked the format. Ultimately seeing James bond movies as a kid got me into the spy genre of course
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4?
Lis Sladen. No competition
10. Which do you prefer: Season 1 of 2 or 5?
Very different shows. But i think i watched trek more often than the monkees. I can dip in n out of the monkees but im more likely to watch a season of trek at a time
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
1 seen all remaining who but theres still a season of MI and the 1980s remakes to watch for me yet
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Mr Smith.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1?
Very difficult to kill off the dr. I think he’d just fade away. As for Dr Sullivan I think he’s MIA, giving his life to save others. I do wonder what Ian Marter would have done. I know he intended to kill of Harry in his novel but the bbc wouldnt let him.
14. Give a random quote from 1?
‘you don’t want to take over the universe do you? No, you wouldnt know what to do with it, except shout at it.’
There is no 15. Move along. Yes Sir!
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work?
yep, absolutely
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Vicki and River Song (for those unfamiliar with the show, the first drs companion Vicki left him at the seige of Troy by changing her name to Cressida. River is an archeaologist)
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way?
Only to sing even though no one listens, and to draw fanarts no one sees
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4?
Sorry Sj but Trek beats hell out of Russ abbot
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5?
OMG how can you choose between them? (tbh only sja has a pants theme) both of them are so iconic. Though MI’s theme could fit during any ep. Monkees only works as a theme or pop song
