TV show meme!
I stole this meme from poisontea's journal like a thief in the night! And regret it not a whit; LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR REGRETS.
Pick five of your favourite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
I went with all live-action shows this time around, just for a change of pace.
1. Firefly
2. LOST
3. House
4. The Office
5. Star Trek: Deep Space 9
01. Who's your favourite character in 2? (LOST)
Sawyer, that sexy man. I have often thought that he is a hell of a lot like what Gokudera might have turned out like if he hadn't ended up going to Japan and finding Tsuna. The angst, the tsundere, the rivalries with other characters, the gradual becoming-a-better-person-and-a-leader... hell, right down to the haircut and the reading glasses.
And oh snap, I managed to work KHR into the meme after all. (>'-')>
02. Who's your least favourite character in 1? (Firefly)
I HAVE NO LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN FIREFLY! Am I allowed to say, like, that jackass from "Heart of Gold"? Or does it have to be a regular cast member? Because I seriously can't pick. :( Well, I guess Book is technically my least favorite, but I love Book, you know? It's one of those shows. The cast is just that awesome.
03. What's your favourite episode of 4? (The Office)
I've only seen the first four seasons (watched them over the summer, and season 5 wasn't out on DVD yet), so from those, it would definitely have to be Ben Franklin. Because. Ben Franklin.
04. What's your favourite season of 5? (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
SOB SOB THIS IS HARD. ;_; ...I guess season 6, because it has Worf and Dax's wedding, the introduction of Section 31, and a bunch of episodes that are just plain good, like "Far Beyond the Stars" and "In the Pale Moonlight." AND IT'S THE LAST SEASON WITH JADZIA, ALAS.
05. Who is your favourite ship in 3? (House)
Man, I've learned not to ship anything in House, because I inevitably wind up disappointed. XD House/Wilson, I guess, since they are life partners and it can survive on subtext alone (thus never letting me down).
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2? (LOST)
Jack/Kate. Bearing in mind that I think this is the pairing the show is eventually going to settle on, it still bores the heck out of me most of the time. I just think both characters are usually way more interesting when they're interacting with people who are not each other. XD
07. How long have you watched 1? (Firefly)
I think I first saw it after I caught Serenity in theaters and was like, "My God, I've got to have more." So... four years now, I guess? And it's been my favorite series ever since.
08. How did you become interested in 3? (House)
I randomly caught a couple of episodes on Fox (this was during season 3, I think), thought it was kind of cool, and so started downloading and watching them in order from season 1 onward. AND GOT HOOKED. Though I actually wasn't completely hooked until I saw the episode Three Stories, which was completely fucking outstanding. Then there was no turning back.
09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4? (The Office)
Steve Carell is easily the best, but John Krasinski is my favorite. He has the best facial expressions ever.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5? (Firefly, LOST, or DS9)
FIREFLY WINS BY DEFAULT, but LOST gets an honorable mention because it's also amazing. It's just that Firefly is such unfair competition.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (Firefly or House)
House has five and a half seasons so far, whereas Firefly was TRAGICALLY CANCELED after fourteen episodes, so obviously the former.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (The Office)
Jim, because he's the character most similar to me, and one of the few who I would actually be able to stand switching lives with. XD
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1? (Firefly)
D:
Oh my God what is this question. UM. Well, my favorite character is River, so I will cheat and say "by suspending cerebral, cardiac, and pulmonary activity in order to induce a proto-comatose state." Because that already happened, so. :P
14. Give a random quote from 1? (Firefly)
"Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?"
15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2? (DS9 and LOST)
OOOOOHHH. I'm gonna go with Julian, because he's young and attractive (and would thus fit right in with the cast!) and a doctor (you can never have too many doctors on a show that maims characters as frequently as LOST), and he is from Star Trek so he's totally used to finding himself in completely whacked-out sci-fi settings where weird things are happening and absolutely no one knows why.
Man, now I wish this could actually happen.
(For the record, Worf is also an acceptable answer to this question, because I WOULD NEVER STOP LOLING. Seriously.)
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work? (House/The Office)
IT COULD. Just give someone from the Office cast a random disease with mysterious symptoms and you're good to go. Again, this is another crossover I would totally, totally support.
17. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple. (Firefly)
This is actually really, really hard, because I just ship the canon ships in Firefly. And everyone who isn't part of a canon ship is underage, celibate, or Jayne. ...I have no answer for this, really. PASS.
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way? (DS9)
I guess it helped spark and nurture my fledgling nerdiness back when it originally aired. Oh, Star Trek. THE MEMORIES. <3
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4? (LOST or The Office)
NOT FAIR. Both LOST and The Office have outstanding casts, and they are two very different shows. Fuck, I have to go with LOST just because it's my favorite and because it has Michael Emerson. But this was a damn hard choice.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5? (House or DS9)
Deep Space Nine. Sorry, House, I like Massive Attack and all, but Jerry Goldsmith, man. The guy is just amazing.
OH TELEVISION, I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU.
