Fandomania
Meme time! I don't remember where I found this, but it's pretty cool!
Pick six fandoms and answer the following questions. Don't look at the questions first.
1. Harry Potter
2. Star Wars
3. The West Wing
4. The Incredibles
5. The Princess Diaries
6. Pride and Prejudice
1. Who is your favorite character from #2?
Before Revenge of the Sith, it was Padme. Now, it's probably Leia, who was my favorite when I saw the Original Trilogy for the first time. As for the guys, I love Han and am very fond of pre-Dark Side Anakin.
2. Who is your least favorite character from #4?
This is actually a bit of a hard question, because I like all the main characters (even Syndrome). Probably Bob's boss, Mr. Huph. He's funny, but that's because I like Wallace Shawn. See, Mr. Huph is someone I love to hate, so I'll go with him.
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
Hmm. Hermione would be the most likely to meet Mia and her friends, being Muggle-born and all. Lots of clashes between Hermione and Lilly, as I see them being somewhat alike. Don't know who the wizard or witch would be - perhaps Michael, as he is already a computer wizard? Who knows?
4. Who is your favorite ship from #6?
Lizzy/Darcy, of course. Their chemistry is best presented in the form of the A&E 1996 production starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. (Well, duh.)
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
Toby and Elizabeth. She seems like the kind of woman Toby would like, judging by his interactions with Andie and possibly C.J. (if you look at them in a sexual way, which I kind of do after Institutional Memory). I was going to say Amy and Wickham, but I'm really not that cruel.
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
Violet, as she's my favorite. She seems like the type to be really into books and reading, so we'd spend the day discussing our favorites. Oh, and annoying younger brothers. :P
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change?
That's easy: Padme's character in Episode III. She was easily my favorite in the first two, but, except for her wonderful line at the end about liberty dying, she just wasn't the Padme we knew and loved. I would bring back some of her spunk and make her a LOT less weepy and spineless, that's for sure.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
Ever since the first book, I've really enjoyed the friendship between Mia and Tina. Tina reminds me of a couple of real life friends, and she's exactly the type you want around when you have a problem or need someone to talk to. While I do like Lilly, she annoys me a tad, and I've always found Mia and Tina's friendship much more relaxing and fun to read about.
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?
I'll cheat and say that Harry could probably save himself from drowning, but President Bartlet (not the first name in the credits, but the lead character, as I think you'll agree) could not, so I would dive in and save him if the Secret Service didn't first. If we're going to be strict, I would of course save Sam, and then Charlie and Abbey (who were both briefly first in the credits). However, I'd much rather have Harry around than Vinick.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?
I'm assuming this meme was originally TV based, as that's the only context in which this makes sense. For the purposes of this question, I'm going to say that I wished Violet had more screen time and Dash a little less. I know the main reason Vi didn't get more screen time was because of her hard-to-animate wicked long hair, but still.
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 and what would their role be?
Pride and Prejudice is practically perfect without my interference. But, you know, it might be cool if there was a mention of a Miss Nochenne and her Ron-like/Michael Moscovitz-like/Josh Lyman-like/Mr. Darcy-like fiance. That would be fine. ;)
12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2?
My favorite episode is The Empire Strikes Back. Lots of tragic stuff happens, but Han and Leia make out and we get to meet Yoda, not to mention the whole, "Luke, I am your father!" thing. All and all, pretty awesome stuff if you ask me.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
Umbridge, with a sharp quill, in the Great Hall. :D
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
As cool as New York City sounds, the set of The West Wing, hands down. So. Wicked. Awesome. Seriously. Especially the exact replica of the Oval Office. Wouldn't it be fun to spin around in President Bartlet's chair and sleep on one of the couches? :P
15. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
How about someone from all six? Like so:
-Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series (if Hermione didn't set canaries on me first)
-Han Solo from Star Wars (if Leia didn't run a lightsaber through me first)
-Charlie Young (if Zoey didn't have her father call in the 82nd Airborne on me first) or Josh Lyman (if he didn't ignore me for Donna so much), both of The West Wing.
-Maybe a young Frozone or Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles. (Of course, I'd be very scared of what Elastigirl would do to me. Or Honey, Frozone's wife, come to think of it.)
- Michael Moscovitz from The Princess Diaries (if Mia didn't sic Lars on me first).
-or Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice (if Lizzy didn't cut me down with her clever wit first).
