Here's a fun little activity, copied from xxxpromisexxx's LJ
List six of your favourite shows, then answer the questions under the cut.
Favorites
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2. Prison Break
3. Green Wing
4. American Gothic
5. Lost
6. Desperate Housewives
1. Who is your favourite character from #2? (Prison Break)
Well, this one should be obvious to anyone that's friended me. T-Bag all the way, baby. Charming, witty, fearless, snide, cruel, paedophilic murdering pocket protector. He's the whole package. He steals every scene he's in, even if he doesn't speak. Plus I love a man that can shark cards.
2. Who is your least favourite character from #4? (American Gothic)
Hmm, this is tricky, becuase there are so many prime candidates on the side of the angels. Merlyn Temple, Matt Crower and Gail Emory all about tie for self-righteousness awards, but my least favourite has to be Billy Peale. He waltzed in and thought he could take on Lucas, put the moves on Selena, and generally acted like the biggest self-righteous jerk of them all. God I hated him.
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include? (Buffy and Lost)
Well, there would have to be some kind of accident while Buffy, Giles, Xander, Spike, and Willow were investigating a centre of extreme paranormal activity near the island, because of, say, the Dharma prophecy, which heralds an apocolypse. Lets say they hired a light aircraft from the nearest populated area, and were dragged into the electromagnetic pull of the island. Their pilot was killed in the crash of course, which happened at night (because otherwise no Spike).
Various tensions and friendships emerge from the discovery of the unconscious Scoobies and their medical treatment at the caves. Sawyer and Spike hit it off over their mutual dislike of Jack, who Buffy takes to straight away. Locke fills Giles in on the strange happenings on the island. Kate is annoying, although no one on the island notices, as usual. Scoobtastic investigations occur, leading to the eventual slayage of the mysterious monster and the temporary closing of the Hellmouth on the island.
Crossover pairings to include Jack/Buffy and Sawyer/Spike (laying the groundwork for eventual Sawyer/Jack).
Tara, Anya and Dawn manage to create a portal that allows only the Sunnydale residents to pass through. Buffy et al promise to send help straight away, but once they are on the other side of the portal they can't remember anything that happened after they took off in the plane.
4. What is your favourite ship from #6? (Desperate Housewives) Justin/John. Poor Justin, who is such a sweet boy, definitely deserved better than evil Andrew. John is his best friend, and easily the hottest teen in Wisteria Lane, possibly even the world. They would have been really cute together.
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be? (Green Wing and Desperate Housewives)
Bree/Mac. Bree has no luck when it comes to men: everyone she meets seems to be psychotic or useless. Mac would keep her guessing and treat her like a lady, while maybe getting her to let her hair down a little bit. She might even take a ride on his motorbike, and Bree in head-to-toe designer leather is a sight the world should see.
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do? (American Gothic)
Lucas Buck, without a doubt. I'd love to shadow him as he rode around town with Ben, playing his little mind games and putting the world off-kilter. Plus he's damn fine to look at, so I'd spend most of my time memorising him. What is it with Southern psychos? I just can't get enouth of them.
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change? (Prison Break)
I would have made Abruzzi's exit a permanant one. Then T-Bag wouldn't have lost his hand, and I could assuage my guilty conscience about enjoying T-Bag so much through the knowledge that at least I had stopped another murderer from wandering loose amoungst the population.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them. (Lost)
Jin and Michael have a fascinating relationship. Their initial hatred of one another has developed into one of the strongest bonds on the show, one that transcends language and keeps them both sane in the bizarre landscape they find themselves in. I just hope that now they are back with the other lostaways, that bond continues to be explored.
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? (Buffy and Green Wing)
Buffy or Caroline Todd. Much as I would love to save Caroline, in the hopes that Buffy would save herself, I'd have to choose Buffy. She saves the world a lot, and without her we'd all be dead many times over. The world needs Buffy more than it needs Caroline.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose? (American Gothic)
I'd put Selena above Gail. I love Selena's soft-spoken evil sexiness, with that vein of heart-broken little-girl-lost just underneath the surface. She's the perfect femme fatale.
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? (Desperate Housewives)
A non-evil, non-sex-addict, decent human being for Bree to fall in love with. After the two years she's had, she deserves it.
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2? (Prison Break)
Riots, Drills and the Devil Part 2. "Me and your baby gonna go to the Prom." Need I say any more. That's when I fell in love with T-Bag.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it? (Buffy)
Riley Finn, in the first episode he appeared in. When that book fell on his head, he would have died. No muss, no fuss, Buffy and Willow upset for one ep then never mentioned again. It would have saved us all having to look at him for two long seasons.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose? (Green Wing or Lost)
Has to be lost. Aloha Hawaii.
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Date is tricky. Fuck? There's a charming psycho in just about all of them, so that's easy enough. Spike, T-Bag, Guy (OK, he's not a psycho, but he did accidentally shag his mum and he hasn't been right since), Lucas, Sawyer, even Orsen (oh, the yumminess that is Kyle McLaughlin). But date? That's complicated and involves so many factors. I'm overthinking this. Sucre? He's not very bright, but he's funny, sweet and good looking, and his heart is in the right place. He didn't want to leave T-Bag there bleeding to death at the end, so he gets my vote. Uncomplicated men make the best boyfriends.
