1. Who's your favorite character in 2?
Oh, I love them all. I will say that I don't like watching first season episodes because they have no Cam or Sweets and thus suffer a severe deficit in eyebrow-raising snark and precocious child-like adorableness.
2. Who's your least favorite character in 1?
I used to really not like Jack. Now I'm okay with him, but I do admit that's he's fairly boring compared to the rest of the characters, especially regarding his flashbacks. The stuff with his dad? Interesting. The stuff with his wife? Meh.
3. What's your favorite episode of 4?
There hasn't been very many of them, and they all sort of mash together in my memory. I think I'll go with Acafellas just because it has my favorite song from the show, which is the drool-worthy "I Want to Sex You Up".
4. What's your favorite season of 5?
First series episodes are the best ones, even though the voices are different at first and the story and style take a bit to really get going. "Holy Matrimony" is a classic.
5. Who is your favorite ship in 3?
Wash/Zoey forever.
6. Who is your anti-ship in 2?
That new Angela/Wendell thing that's going on. I miss her and Hodgins together.
7. How long have you watched 1?
Since the very beginning. It'll be the first non-cancelled show I've seen from beginning to end.
8. How did you become interested in 3?
I was 12 when it first came out, and I thought the commercials looked cool but I never got around to watching it. But I did keep hearing about it has a cult classic, so I rented Serenity in fall of '06 and enjoyed what I saw (I fell asleep halfway through - out of exhaustion, not boredom.) A few months later I was at Best Buy looking for more X-Files DVDs and I saw the complete series of Firefly for $20 and thought "That's a great deal!". I liked the show immediately, but it took me a little bit to come around to full-fledged adoration.
9. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4?
Jane Lynch's portrayal of Sue Sylvester is going to go down in television history for badassness.
10. Which do you prefer, show 1, 2 or 5?
LOST IS NUMBAH ONE.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
Well, I've seen more episodes of Lost but I haven't seen all of them (since the show's not over yet). I have seen all of Firefly, but only because it only has like 14 episodes.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Could I replace the newspaper kid? Because newspaper kids aren't like that and it bothers me because I was one... for a semester.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1?
He's not necessarily my favorite (this show has a ton of great characters), but I can definitely see Locke sacrificing himself if the island demanded it.
14. Give a random quote from 1.
"I just shot a bear!" 15. Would a 3/4 crossover work?
Unfortunately not. Unless Will is secretly a browncoat and has the kids sing the Ballad of Jayne.
16. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
When they first came on the show, I kind of wanted to see Eko/Ana-Lucia.
17. Has 5 inspired you in any way?
It's inspired me to be the very best, like no one ever was.
I think Pokemon taught me how not to tell a story. It was repetitive, and it didn't have continuity, a sold timeline, or character growth, emotional or physical. If there was any series I could be granted absolute creative control over, it'd be Pokemon. The characters have potential, and it frustrates me that it doesn't go anywhere. If it was up to me, the show would be about
18. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4?
I'm going to go with Bones, just because the Glee club has those two extra guys that barely talk and only just got names and it bugs me.
19. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5?
Firefly. It has foreshadowing! Don't tell me you didn't get chills when you realized the line "tell them I ain't coming back" is sung over the picture of the character that dies.
Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
Firefly, but that's so short it probably doesn't count. I've watched a lot of syndicated Friends, there's a good chance I've seen them all twice.
Name a (current) show you can't miss:
Supernatural, Lost, and Glee.
Name an actor that would make you more inclined to watch a show:
If it wasn't for me being obsessed with Lord of the Rings and seeing Dominic Monighan on the commercial, I probably wouldn't have started watching Lost.
Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:
I don't judge on actors, only on characters.
Name a show you can, and do, quote from:
What show don't I quote from?
Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:
I don't think I have any over Bones fans on my f-list, do I?
Name a TV show which you’ve been known to sing the theme song:
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Firefly, The Cleaveland Show, The Big Bang Theory, Full House, Friends,
M*A*S*H (I'm the one in blue)
Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:
Arrested Development
Name a TV series you own:
Complete series of The X-Files (9 seasons), Arrested Development (3 seasons), and Futurama (4 seasons). Complete series box sets of shorter shows, like Firefly and The Lone Gunmen. Seasons 1-4 of Supernatural, 1-4 of Lost, 1-4 of House, 1-2 of Buffy, 1 of Bones, 1 of Kyle XY. A "Best of Season Whatever" DVD of Friends. I just bought the DVD of The 10th Kingdom, which was a six hour TV miniseries from around '99-'00. And my dad owns the complete series of M*A*S*H (11 seasons).
What is your favourite episode of your favourite series?
The X-Files - Jose Chung's "From Outer Space".
A show you mean to watch, but you just haven’t gotten around to yet:
FlashForward (I loved the pilot!)
Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?
I never really quit shows. Most of them I vow to return to at some point. If I do stop watching, it's because I don't have the time or it's not my taste. (Like, I watched the first few episodes of Breaking Bad, but there was too much cursing and drugs and other cable TV scariness. Quality program, though.)
Name a show you aren't interested in watching, not in the least:
Reality shows and most teen shows. I just can't relate to teens in the media, I don't have a tenth of the angst and drama they have.
Name a show that’s made you cry multiple times:
The Simpsons, Supernatural, Lost, Firefly, The Office, Glee, House, Heroes, Torchwood, Futurama, Pushing Daisies.
Oldest TV show you like?
There are a lot of old shows that I like (I grew up on Nick at Nite), but the only one I really consider a favorite is M*A*S*H.
Newest TV show you like?
Glee
What do you eat when you watch TV?
Whatever is on hand. Back at Central, I would buy a candy bar from the snack table every Wednesday and eat it while I watched Lost. My weekly treat.
How often do you watch TV?
It's on while I eat meals or do chores and it's on for background noise while I'm in my dorm room. I think I only sit down and really pay attention to a show about ten times a week.
Do you have a favorite talk show?
Ellen's nice, but there's nothing I watch regularly.
What’s the last TV show you watched?
Bones
What’s your favourite/preferred genre of TV?
Sci-fi/fantasy serial dramas.
What's your least favourite genre of TV?
I don't care for reality television. The exception was Who Wants to be a Superhero? on SciFi channel, but that only lasted two seasons. (I watched the audition episodes of America's Got Talent last year, but only because I was watching a commercial for the show and thought I saw the sword swallower from Ren Faire. It wasn't him.)
What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?
I think my first full-on obsession was an anime called Flint the Time Detective. I still have all my old VHS tapes with recorded episodes.
What TV show do you wish you never watched?
Can't think of one.
What’s the weirdest show you enjoyed?
A show that's weird or a normal show that's weird that I enjoy it? Weirdest show is Twin Peaks (backwards-talking dancing dwarf FTW!). A show I never thought I'd enjoy is Metalocalypse, but oh now I love it now. The music isn't my thing, but the characters and dialogue is great.
What TV show scared you the most?
Twilight Zone. I think it's scarier than X-Files because X-Files offers you familiar, comforting characters that are solving these problems, while Twilight Zone dumps you in a frightening place with helpless strangers.
What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?
A little-known British show called Garth Marenghei's Darkplace.
Which do you think is the best TV series ever made?
It's such a subjective question. I could never answer for drama, but I might name Arrested Development for comedy.

And here are some questions
mokusan asked me and I totally forgot about.
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
1. If you could only see the world in different shades of one color, which color would you choose?
I love warm light, so I'd go with sepia-tones.
2. You aren't allowed to leave the house for a month, have limited computer and tv access, and are only allowed to have three books: which books do you choose?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (they come packaged as one book, so it counts), Deathly Hallows, and some sort of book on writing. I assume I have access to pencil and paper.
3. Would you rather be deaf, blind, or mute?
I hate questions like these because I really couldn't stand to be any of them. It always feels like these extreme questions will come back and bite me someday, like some POWER THAT IS will all of sudden make me deaf or whatever because THAT'S WHAT YOU CHOSE BEFORE. Same thing with desert island type scenarios.
4. If you could instantly be fluent in any language in the world, which language would you choose?
I'm struggling in my French class, so that'd be handy.
5. If you could be hired to write for any TV show, old or new, right now, which show would you want to write for?
With my fondness for pop culture references, snarky comments, and bromance, I think I would do well on Psych.
