(no subject)
Because I'm procrastinating doing things on my ever expanding to-do list and I saw this in carrieross's journal, I bring you yet another television meme...
List your top 6 shows (listed in order of preference; it was supposed to be alphabetical order, but I didn't want to):
1. La Femme Nikita
2. NCIS
3. Gilmore Girls
4. Without a Trace
5. Lost (how sad is it that Lost has slipped this far down on my list of shows?)
6. Cold Case
1.Who is your favorite character from #2?
That's a toss up between Gibbs and Ziva. I guess I'll have to go with Gibbs, just 'cause he's been around longer. I do adore Ziva, though.
2. Who is your least favorite character from #4?
Hah! I swear I didn't plan this. I really do like the shows in that order. I'll give everyone who can guess a virtual cookie.
(In case you couldn't guess, it would have to be Elena. If this had been last season, it would have been Jack, but I dislike Elena more now.)
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
That would be frickin' awesome. Actually, labellamafia494 (side note: I didn't forget your birthday; my project is just not working out as I had planed, hence the procrastination of memes and the like) and I started writing ideas for one. If anyone besides the two of us watches both shows, can you imagine what would happen if Michael and Nikita (or any of the LFN characters for that matter, but we focused on them) were on Flight 815? OMG, so many wonderful scenarios/possibilities! (And you thought the Losties already had enough issues!)
Let's see, to actually answer the question... Michael would probably have incapacitated Sawyer in the first couple of days for flirting with Nikita. (Of course, Nikita could probably have done it herself, but...) Forget needing guns to hunt the Others, the two of them could do it with their bare hands. And they can certainly track, so that's an added plus. Also, do you really think Michael would let Jack take charge? Uh, no, so the power struggle dynamic would all be changed. And no translation issues, as I'm sure Michael speaks Korean (as I know he speaks a number of other Asian languages). Of course, maybe he'd want to keep that information to himself as leverage. He's even better at bartering for things/information than Sawyer is. And it would be nice to have a strong, capable woman such as Nikita to add to the mix. I'm not as anti-Kate as others are, but Nikita would still be an improvement in my book.
4. Who is your favorite ship from #6?
As evidence I didn't plan this, I don't have a ship from Cold Case! I guess Lilly/Scotty, as I usually default to heterosexual couples, but I don't really see them together all that much. I didn't mind the guy they had Lilly paired with earlier (season 1?), but he flamed out, so that's not a posibility. And just no to slash. Vera/Jeffries? *shudder*
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
Umm... That's really hard, as I have such difficulties seeing anyone from Cold Case dating, and I sort of like the pairings the way they are already on Gilmore Girls. I guess I'd set up Christopher and Lilly. Maybe he could help lighten her up a bit.
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
That's a difficult decision. Can't I have both Danny and Martin? I guess I'd have to go with Danny, because I have a feeling he'd be more of a fun time for just one day than Martin would be. And I'd never leave the bedroom go on a whirlwind vacation with him to Italy so I could gloat have him meet my Italian WaT friends.
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change?
Damn it, I knew I should have switched Gilmore Girls and NCIS on my list. Can I just pretend that they're switched for this question so I can stop that damn April plot thing? No? *sigh* Fine. I actually really like the way NCIS is going this season and don't really want to change anything. If the rumors that I'm hearing about the season finale are true, however, I would like to stop that. I wish they'd stop trying to "fix" what isn't broken.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
I won't get too spoilery for my Italian friends that are only now watching Lost... If it were romantic, I think I'd go with Kate/Sawyer, but as it's any relationship, I'll have to go with Jack and Sawyer. I just love the way they clash with each other, two alpha males, struggling to be the dominant one.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
That's a hard one. I like both Nikita and Lorelai. I guess I'd have to save Lorelai, as I figure Nikita is more likely to be able to save herself. If for some reason she couldn't save herself, then I would probably save her, just because she's such a complex/interesting character.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?
I don't have a problem with the order that they're in now. If I could get rid of one, though...
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like?
I'm not a big fan of adding new characters, as most of you well know. I guess I'd add a plausible love interest for Lilly?
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?
I don't really have a favorite episode of this show. While I really enjoy the majority of the episodes, I don't think there's one that stands out more than the others. Maybe "Under Covers" from this season because I thought it was a pretty good mix of humor and case and I like that the agents were portrayed as competent and able to handle themselves.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
I don't want to kill off one of the characters. Heck, the show killed off basically everyone anyway by the end of the series! I guess, maybe, Jason. (He survived through the end of the series, right?)
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
As much as I love Gilmore Girls, I'm going to have to go for Lost. I can't even imagine getting to meet all of those actors. Plus, Hawaii!
15. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Can't I pick one person from each show? Damn. Umm... I guess I don't want to date Jack or Sawyer (Lost) because that would mean I'd be stranded on Craphole Island. I don't want to date Michael (LFN), because he's all for Nikita (plus, while the sex would probably be great, he does have that whole emotional intimacy problem). Luke (Gilmore Girls) also has some emotional issues, plus the whole secrecy over April would also be a problem, and he's Lorelai's. I guess not Scotty (Cold Case) either because he still has issues with Alyssa. I guess not either of the NCIS guys either because Gibbs also has major issues (nothing like being married three times and having two of your exes try to kill you) and Tony is a wee bit too frat-boy for my tastes. That leaves Martin and Danny. Decisions, decisions. Huh. They're both attractive, and both have issues. I guess (and this will probably surprise some people) I will pick Danny. Just because Martin and I are too similar, I think. (Although in real life I much more often end up with Martin-types than Danny-types.)
Apparently I should have played around with the order of my shows, as I didn't have such great answers for a couple of these. Oh well, it was fun anyway. (And allowed me some procratination time, which was really the point in the first place.)
