I'm Through Excepting Limits, 'Cause Someone Says They're So
Shamelessly stolen from aeternitasbeach and took a while to get through as I'm sick, for those who don't know.
Pick five of your favourite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
1. Glee
2. Fringe
3. Merlin
4. Doctor Who
5. Supernatural
01. Who's your favourite character in 2? Fringe
PETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR. Peter Bishop, hands down. His father coming in at a close second. Peter is just, indescribably hot and sexy and insanely smart in the 'could-rule-the-wold-one-day-if-I-really-wanted-to' kinda way, without ever coming off as a geek in the slightest. He's also funny and suave and whether he's interacting with a main character in the show, or a minor one, there is always chemistry.
02. Who's your least favourite character in 1? Glee
That's a hard one. I do have issues with a lot of the characters in Glee, but I'm not sure who I like the least. Honestly, it's probably a tie between Quinn and Finn.
03. What's your favourite episode of 4? Doctor Who
ANY EPISODE WITH DONNA NOBLE/CATHERINE TATE IN IT? 8DD ....huh? what do you mean that doesn't count?! OKAYFINE. Now this is actually hard, as I can pick my favourite episode from any of the other shows, but Doctor Who? It is honestly one of the hardest decisions I'll ever make. So instead, I'm going to give my favourite episode from each season! =D
Season 1: Rose (it's the first episode and after seeing it, I knew there was no going back)
Season 2: Love & Monsters (similar to Blink. this kind of episode, where you see the DW world from the eyes of a stranger, just brings so much depth and perspective to the series and it's protagonist. lovelovelove)
Season 3: Blink (see above)
Season 4: Turn Left (this was the hardest because there's only one episode in this entire season I did not like, and even then that had some of the best Doctor/Donna moments xD)
04. What's your favourite season of 5? Supernatural
Season one. Unlike most fans, I've not had any problems or issues with any of the other seasons, but season one was is just where all the magic happens. The interaction between Sam and Dean and they're dad, the relative innocence of the boys (when compared to how they are now in season five) the monsters, and all the laughs because while it could be very serious, the writers made sure they didn't wear us down with all the death and feelings of hopelessness. There was just a kind of lightheartedness about the season that perfectly blended the heartbreaking reality of their job with the strong bond of love family shares.
05. Who is your favourite ship in 3? Merlin
Um, I don't have one actually. I'm not active in the fandom though I have written some Arthur/Merlin one-shots/drabbles as gifts to i_am_krazy, so I guess, based on that, Arthur/Merlin? If only because I write them? xD
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2? Fringe
Fringe? I don't have one, honestly. Although if I had to pick one, it would probably be Peter/Walter(his father). Because srsly fandom, there is a lot I can put up with, and I'll be the first to admit I've shipped incest (mind you they were brother and sister and no more than five years apart) but really? Father and son? I dunno, personally I just find it to be a whole lotta wrong. Also, they're like thirty years apart. Ew.
07. How long have you watched 1? Glee
Since Fox starting airing it? I was also one of few people (at least that I know personally) that saw the pilot episode back when it was aired this past summer in June or July.
08. How did you become interested in 3? Merlin
It was back when they had just aired the final episode on the BBC, when a LJer I stalk watch updated that a friend had just introduced her to this series called Merlin and after watching the first episode she knew it was love. I was in the middle of my Doctor Who/British drama phase, so I decided that I absolutely had to give Merlin a chance. And I'm so glad I did.
09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4? Doctor Who
DONNA NOBLE AKA. THE AMAZING AND SUPERFANTABULOUS CATHERINE TATE! I lovelovelovelovelove her. David Tennant would be my second pick for sure, then Christopher Eccleston. I never even knew C-Tate was a comedian (as I'd never heard of her before Doctor Who) but after falling in love with her so, I looked for some more things she'd been in and found out she'd wrote for/preformed in The Catherine Tate show, which has some of the most hilarious skits in it that I've ever seen. Don't believe me? Go watch this right now! (though I warn you, it helps to have seen the C-Tate show to get the Lauren character and her "Do I look bovvered?" joke, and to have a vague understanding of DW, but it is one of the funniest skits I have ever seen.)
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5? Glee, Fringe, Supernatural
This is a hard one to answer, but I'm going to say Supernatural because Fringe and SPN are on at the same time, and 98% of the time I do chose SPN over Fringe, so I guess that's that.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? Glee, Merlin
Merlin because 1) It's on its second season which = more episodes and 2) I've re-watched the first season of Merlin and a couple season two episodes so over-all, Merlin. (Though realistically, I don't think this question's all that fair.)
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? Doctor Who
The Doctor's companion! Oh, you mean someone specific? Well that's a hard one, seeing as most every character dies. Not the Doctor, that's for sure, because there exists no more a disturbed, depressed, (and though I love him dearly) pitied character invented for television. I think it would have to be either Martha Jones or Sarah Jane Smith. Both have had to go through incredibly horrible things that would most likely break a normal human, but that's part of what makes their characters so amazing. I think I'd pick Martha in the end though, because despite what she went through with the Master, I think she was the one that ended up with the closest thing to a 'happy ending'.
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1? Glee
Mr. Schuester. Horrible break dancing accident. So. Tragic.
14. Give a random quote from 1? Glee
A random quote? HAH! Have two.
ARTIE: I wanna be very clear: I still have the use of my penis.
SUE: If I have a pregnant girl doing a handspring into a double layout, the judges aren't going to be admiring her impeccable form, they're going to be wondering if the centrifugal force is going to make the baby's head start crowning.
15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2? Supernatural, Fringe
Season 2 Sam, back when his demon powers when active. Or both brothers. I'm pretty sure Walter would be more than happy to help the brothers solve some kind of Supernatural crime while Peter shakes his head and Olivia fights with her moral high ground stance over whether she should report the Winchesters or not.
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work? Merlin/Doctor Who
*snort* That like asking if peanut butter tastes good with jam. That's the beauty of Doctor Who: time traveling, demension hopping space ship makes any and everything possible.
17. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple. Glee
Puck/Mercedes.
...what? Okay it makes absolutely no sense, but they're my fav male and female characters, okay? shutupidek.
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way? Supernatural
Well I've only written one SPN fanfic, and that was a short drabble with a Transformers crossover, so no, not really. However it has made me take things, such as salting entries and saying 'Christo' to random people, very seriously.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4? Fringe, Doctor Who
WHAT?WHATWHATWHATWHAT? I have to actually answer this? Totally unfair, as I am rediculously biased when it comes to Doctor Who. Unfortunately the actors picked for Fringe are bloody amazing, so it's no easy choice. The win, however, is going to go to Doctor Who, because it's the only series I've ever watched where I've loved the main actors, but am constantly blown away by the preformance of all the minor actors that only appear in one or two episodes. For that reason, I'm afraid Fringe looses. (I'm so so sorry Peter/Walter/Astrid/Olivia. I still love you, I swear!)
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5? Merlin, Supernatural
Oh gosh. I have to say Supernatural as I am a sucker for classic rock. (you can blame my dad for that, 100%) Although Merlin does have nice instrumental theme music.
So the meme didn't say to tag anybody, but I'm going to anyway!
I taggs i_am_krazy, ylmik_wisty, jazmin22 and arthoniel! I wana see what you guys say!
Gonna go die in bed now as I should have been asleep two hours ago. Night~
