Your Favorite Show Ever: TV 30 day meme DAY 4
Aaand now back to this meme thing...
Your Favorite Show Ever!!
Okay I'm cheating so hard right now because I seriously can't pick just one show. I love these all for very different reasons, and to avoid playing favorites because that would be impossible, I am placing these in alphabetical order...
Battlestar Galactica
I have to admit, this is the only show on my favorite list that I did not start watching from the beginning. First off, the original show SUCKED BIG ASS FRAKKING RUSTED TOASTER OIL. It was horrible. I hated it. Everything about it sucked and til this day I have yet to sit through one entire episode. Second, I really hate robots, especially talking ones, so I had absolutely no desire to ever watch this. Everyone at the time was telling me it's nothing like the original and I need to watch it because I would love it, but I did not believe them. However.. During the Eighth episode of the Second Season, I found out Lucy Lawless (Xena) was going to be a guest star so of course I had to watch her episode.
So I tune in and HOLY-MOTHER-FRAKKER I am instantly hooked!! Besides Lucy's character, I find out Starbuck is OMG TOTALLY SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER AND KICK ASS AND A WOMAN AND HOLY HELL.. Thank the gods that there will be a meme day about favorite characters because I could squee about Kara aaall day!! Anyway I immediately went out and go the mini.. fell in love.. bought the first season.. and I've never looked back. I even bought a Pyramid Ball prop at the BSG auction and am working on getting the whole cast to sign it.. so far I only have Rick Worthy & Ron Moore (OMG genious). I hope to get more at Dragon Con this year!!
FarScape
asldfhasdghaisdpofha THIS SHOW!!!!! I truly think that all of these shows on my list can be considered epic to some extent. FarScape was truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece! The show had EVERYTHING.. The pretty: the ugly: Fighting: Romance: Guns: Explosions: Love: Torment: Happy Times: CRACKY EPS!: Dark Moments: WTF Moments.. I really wished we had more seasons of this fantastic show. It's one of those shows that I can put on ANY episode and instantly have a smile on my face, even if the ep is a dark one.
The characters were also very diverse and also very different. The bad guys all had very unique personalities and sometimes you even wanted to route for them (although I love bad guys so maybe that's just me). The main characters also had fleshed-out back stories and everyone got featured at some point. They never felt like they were wasted of just put there as filler.
When it originally aired I was a bit skeptical for the fact being that it was being produced by the Jim Henson co. and involved "Muppet-like" characters. I honestly hate muppets/puppets/all that crap. BUT FarScape seriously made you forget about that completely. It was so well written/acted that you didn't even realize that half the time the characters were talking to puppets!!! I think I want to jump into a wormhole right now..
Legend of the Seeker
Okay, by now, if you don't know my thoughts on this show, you need to immediately take me off of your friends list because you clearly don't pay any attention at all. T H I S S H O W ! ! ! ! ! I don't even.. it fucking defines EPIC and brings it to a whole new level!!!!! It's one of those rare shows where every episode truly gets better and better. Yes, there are those sporadic filler eps which suck here and there, but overall the show HAS IT ALL.
The second season for me was what really did me in with the introduction of Cara. Her character and the added presence brought the Seeker game up to a whole new level. This is a show that can practically do anything, however does have to balance a fine like to avoid crossing over into "omg-cheese-ball-territory." Well, it certainly performed with finesse and never crossed that line.. ever. Epic love; Epic Fighting; Epic Hair.. this damn show should have easily gone on to live a few more seasons.
Xena: Warrior Princess
Oh show.. how I miss you. This is the reason I even found out about Seeker in the first place.. because I was following Rob & Lucy's careers. I have been to more Xena conventions than I have any other conventions combined. I fucking love this show!! The relationship between Xena & Gabrielle was just phenomenal. Every time I thought, "oh there's no way they can still be together after she did that.." they proved me wrong. Relationships like that (even on a best/friend level) are nearly impossible to find. These characters literally went through hell together and always fought their way out of any situation.
I just wish there were more characters like this on television. Lately shows just barely skim the surface of their characters. They're not written in depth and are mostly just boring shells that I can care less about. It's a shame that we really are losing the fantasy genre because it has produced the most amazing shows/characters/worlds for us to live in.
