More of the Top 5 Whatever meme!
From alizarin_nyc: Top 5 strangest first kisses Colby and David could have had
1) Undercover at a gay bar! They were just pretending for the sake of the job... right?
2) Christmas party. Megan's place. Mistletoe. Both a little more drunk than they should have been, but not so much that they didn't know what they were doing. There was tongue action going on.
3) Double-date gone wrong. Think "When Harry Met Sally". After their dates ran off together, David said "I'm never gonna get laid, am I," and Colby said "Well, I'm not that kind of girl," then kissed him on the cheek.
4) Right before Colby left with Megan for the safe house, in the men's bathroom. Colby pushed David up against a stall and kissed him. When David asked "Why?", Colby said "I'm sorry."
5) Their first kiss wasn't a kiss--it was David performing mouth-to-mouth on Colby on the Chinese freighter. Their second kiss didn't come until months later, but their third, fourth, and fifth kisses followed close behind. They stopped counting soon after.

blackeyedgirl/black_eyedgirl: Top 5 things you like/find interesting about Rodney (evil, evil woman!)
1) He's CANADIAN. Considering how many so-called American shows are actually produced north of the border, it was about damn time we got a Canadian (besides Benton Fraser) in a starring role.
2) He's a brave little toaster.
3) He has an awesome sister!
4) His snark often induces glee in this viewer ;)
5) He's the ultimate geek Sue. (I don't mean that disparagingly.) Rodney is our self-insert character, our avatar. For many of us in fandom, for the SGA writers who identify as geeks, as the guys who'll never be the hot, muscle-bound action hero, we look to Rodney as proof that the geeks will inherit the earth.
Top 5 hero-type characters (I can only pick 5?)
1) Batman. Why? Because, dude, he's BATMAN. There is no badder badass.
2) Superman. Not for his power, or his sense of justice, or his sacrifices, but for his heart of compassion. If he could, he would cradle the whole world in his arms.
3) Slayer, The. Not Buffy herself, or Faith or Kendra or Nikki or Xin Rong or the Potentials. I'm talking about the Slayer throughout generations, alone or with family and friends, fighting evil night after night, sacrificing and dying for the protection of innocents.
4) Xena. She's more anti-hero than straight-up hero, but as female characters go she was pretty damn revolutionary. The taciturn warrior redeeming herself from a dark and violent past--until Xena, such a backstory belonged to the province of men.
5) Keladry of Mindelan. As previously mentioned, I fangirl knights-errant--the Duncan MacLeods and Clark Kents of our mythologies. Kel is one such knight, but with a feminist twist. She's the least super-powered of Tamora Pierce's heroines, the most realistic, the most grounded. She's the kind of hero I want my nieces looking up to.
Top 5 fannish mothers (by birth/adoption/assumption of the role)
1) Lorelei Gilmore. I don't have many non-scifi/fantasy fandoms, but Gilmore Girls somehow wormed its way into my affections, thanks in large part to Lorelei's mostly awesome, occasionally flail-worthy parenting skills. Everything she's accomplished with Rory, with her career, is a testament to her strength of will.
2) Rebecca Horne. For a two-episode minor character, she has a long, long shadow in fandom. Rebecca is the Great Lady, a wise woman, a teacher and mentor, warrior and scientist, wife and mother. If I met her in real life, I'd curtsey.
3) Tara Maclay. She steps up as Dawn's friend and caregiver, as Buffy's confidante, and she has this inner core of strength and grace that reminds me of Rebecca. It's not just the physical similiarities, but the role they play in the story, as mentors, as wise women.
4) Darla. While Angelus might have been the man of the house, Darla never gave up her power. She brought him over, brought him up, tried to keep up on his rampage across Europe and Asia, gave him a second chance when he came crawling back. She sacrificed herself for the one good thing they ever did together, and stood as the angel on her son's shoulder.
5) Buffy Summers. She's not primarily a mother-figure, but she still played that role with Dawn in later seasons, and with the Potentials in S7. I tend to be hard on Buffy's parenting skills, but nonetheless I have to respect her effort, as well as the results.
Honourable Mention: Oma Desala. Despite the hash the Stargate PTB have made of the Ancients since their initial introduction, I still have huge amounts of respect for Oma Desala. We learn that "Mother Nature" was the original rule-breaker, stretching out a hand to help others along the path. Sticking her nose in because she hadn't "evolved" beyond knowing the difference between good and evil.
You can still ask me more questions if you want!
