After stitching all day, I fell asleep and missed hanging out with people. To those people: I am a weenie. Just saying. Smite me mightily, I deserve it.
But I got a lot of stitching done! ::yawn::

List your six favorite TV shows:
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2. Farscape
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. CSI
5. House
6. Firefly
1. Who is your favorite character from #2?
A: John Crichton, duh.
2. Who is your least favorite character from #4?
A: Sarah. Motherfucking, heartless, callous, insignificant bitch. HAAAAAAAAAAATE.
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
A: HILARITY. Can you just imagine House working the Hellmouth? He'd probably have to keep his own set of Scoobies from assuming every one ever brought to the hospital was bitten by vampires. Dear God. House on the Hellmouth. Oddly, I think he and the Mayor would get along pretty well.
4. Who is your favorite ship from #6?
A: Simon/Kaylee.
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
A: ::DIES:: This is like geeking out to the extreme, mixing these two fandoms. I think it would be fantastic to see Saffron go up against Leoben or Doral. Other pairings that might prove interesting: William Adama and Zoe Washburne; River versus Six; a theological discussion between Shepherd Book and Brother Cavil; a bitch session between Simon Tam and Doc Cottle; Roslin versus Mal...I could go on and on and on...
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
A: Probably Katherine. She's awesome, she's ballsy, she's buff, and she's got more social skillz than Grissom.
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plotline, what would you change?
A: Hrm, seeing as I never finished season three and missed four entirely, I'll have to work from what I remember. I would definitely rescue Zhaan. I missed her. And never bring in Jool. the less good, more annoying Chiana clone.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
A: House and Wilson. Not at all as a romantic pairing, but as friends. I am amazed that Wilson puts up with House half the time, but Wilson is skeezy in his own right in some ways that make House refreshing (until they tried to bark harder at the Stacy thing...)
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and youcould only save one, who would it be?
A: Buffy versus Adama. Dag. Well, I'd have to go with Bill Adama. Buffy would probably last pretty good in a fight with the humanoid Cylons, but she could be blown to bits far too easily. And I would never let Adama down, whereas Buffy can and has annoyed me to the point of wanting her to die, so yeah, not caring so much about her personally.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?
A: I'd move Sarah soooooo far back, it would make her asshole head spin. Greg would get moved up, as would Detective Brass.
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?
A: I want an Asian character to be a main character. Not another Browncoat, but maybe a bitter survivor of an ethnic war that happened a while ago that would explain why, in a future born from the union of China and the US, no Asians are shown to be in power. I would like to see a Chinese person of power or specifically impoverished as result of some kind of collision or calamity in the 'verse.
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?
A: Pick a favorite episode of Farscape? Impossible. I could maybe do it by season, maybe, which I'll try to keep short because I only know seasons one and two well anyway.
Season 1: Damn, it's a tie: "A Bug's Life" and "Family Ties." It's tough to rule out "A Human Reaction," but, much as I like the "throw John back on Earth" mind-fucks, "A Bug's Life" and "Family Ties" were much better at finding the pathos for Crichton and Moya's crew out in the Uncharted Territories. In "A Bug's Life," I nearly died when Crichton was infected and evil and then snapped out of it to find he'd killed somebody and in time to watch Aeryn almost die. Much as I like his steady breakdown in "Nerve" and "The Hidden Memory," Crichton confronting Crais in "Family Ties" is one of the best scenes in the series. At the beginning of the series, I believe Crichton would have forgiven Crais, let bygones be since he could understand Crais was grieving (sorta) over Crichton accidentally getting his brother killed. But by the time they confront each other in "Family Ties," Crais has tried to kill Crichton several times outright, and he's just finished raping Crichton's mind (a favorite pasttime of the show) to the point where Crichton has never been more sick and in pain in his life. Ben Browder was my God for that scene.
Season 2: I loved all the humor episodes with chip Scorpy, "Won't Get Fooled Again" is a particular favorite because it's playing on the audience and breaking the fourth wall all while being an amazingly absorbing episode in its own right. John Crichton back on Earth again? He knows better. And meeting D'Argo the asshole IASA pilot, Zhaan the psychologist, Rygel the project leader, and Scorpy the beatnik bongo drummer? Priceless. Then finding out about chip Scorpy and Johnny losing that info all at once? Cruel and genius.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
A: Tara! Oh, wait, Joss did that--a season or two too late, but still. Okay, Angel. Permanently. Painfully. Cripplingly.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
A: Battlestar Galactica. House is just a set made up to look like a hospital, and while Hugh Laurie would be a gas to hang around, I'd sooner lick Aaron Douglas' feet just to get onto the BSG set. There are many other things I'd lick belonging to members of that cast, older folks not excepted (though I cannot make dirty references about Mary McDonnell because she is too amazingly luminous for me to ever sully; I think I'd just pray to her).
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
A: Great, I picked shows where absolutely everyone is either emotionally unavailable or screwed up major. Well, knock off anyone from CSI (Grissom hot but too weird; HATE SARAH TO DEATH; and none of the others worth the chance). House is the same because, while I'd love to be around House for the shock value, I wouldn't want his attraction or affection directed at me--it screws people up almost as much as him. BSG...whoa. Way too much baggage. I'd do Jamie Bamber in a heartbeat (I think question #14 sufficiently covered what I'd do to most of the cast), but no characters from that are stable enough. Ditto Firefly and Farscape (the former folk are too pretty and fucked up in the head, the latter are too pretty and have fucked up heads, not to mention space STDs).
Which leaves me with Buffy. I would date Xander. In a New York minute. I'd also totally do Giles. And Spike. And maybe Drusilla. Oz before he became an asshat.
