Day 30 - Saddest character death

( Here be minor(?) spoilers for the Ashes to Ashes finale... )

One post for yesterday's and today's related questions.

Day 28 - First t.v. show obsession

My first obsession was with Twin Peaks, I suppose (in 1990), although it was not nearly as bad as last year's obsession with the first series of Being Human and this year's with Life on Mars.

Day 29 - Current t.v. show obsessionCurrent obsession with a t.v ( Read more... )

Day 27 - Best pilot episode

I take this to mean a real pilot, not just a first episode. I only know of a few, and of these I love the Due South and Twin Peaks ones. As I didn't see the Due South pilot until I'd watched some of the series, I'm choosing Twin Peaks. It did what a good pilot is supposed to do: it drew me in and had me hooked in no ( Read more... )

Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale

It had been my understanding that Philip Glenister didn't want to do a third series of Ashes to Ashes, so the cliffhanger ending of 2.08 took me completely by surprise at the time. Only later did I learn that a third series had been commissioned.

Something similar happened with Nurse Jackie. I thoroughly enjoyed ( Read more... )

Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)

The Devil's Whore is the last title in my John Simm project (for the time being);

Day 24 - Best quote

My love for language-based comedy means I have many, many favourite quotes, but most of them aren't as funny when read out of context or if the characters are unfamiliar. Therefore I'm picking only one today, Basil talking to himself in the Fawlty Towers episode "Communication Problems" (1979 ( Read more... )

Day 23 - Most annoying characterI am pretty sure we are meant to agree with Blackadder that Lord Flashheart is an arrogant git, but my dislike was such at first that I could barely watch him whenever he was on screen. (Nothing to do with Rik Mayall, it was purely the character.) It took some rewatching before I understood, and cracked up at, a ( Read more... )

Day 22 - Favorite series finale

The first time I saw "Goodbyeee" (the Blackadder Goes Forth finale) I hated it with a vengeance. I actually shouted at the TV that "this is supposed to be a comedy, for god's sake!" Other series of Blackadder had ended in death, but they were still funny. This one was just bleak and depressing ( Read more... )

Day 21 - Favorite ship

Runners up: Mitchell/Annie from Being HumanWhereas Annie's relationship with George is purely sister/brother, with Mitchell we can sense a mutual attraction. They'd make a good couple. Mitchell's being a vampire can be dangerous to his love interests, but since Annie is a ghost, he doesn't have to worry about accidentally ( Read more... )

Day 20 - Favorite kiss

This one had me stumped for a while, until I remembered my guilty pleasure show. Out of the many Beecher/Keller kisses on YouTube I picked this one, because it is just a sweet kiss with no added Drama ( Read more... )
