♥ indeed. :)

my favourite female character
This is actually trickier than I thought. My absolute favorite is actually Kate who was written out way too early. But I love Cordy a lot as well.

my favourite male character

Angel

my favourite book/season/etc

Oh, tricky again because each season has such a different feel and I love each for different reasons. And each had killer episodes. I wanna say four, because it has such a fascinating season arc.

my favourite episode/issue/chapter, etc

Just one?! *sob*
I'll pick four. Smile Time, Home, Origin, Epiphany.

my favourite cast member

Separated from the characters? I don't really have an opinion on the actors. I thought Vincent Kartheiser did a brilliant job with Connor. But the whole cast was so good.

my favourite relationship

Cordy/Angel for shippy ships, and Connor&Angel for the father/son relationship

a character I'd die defending

Connor. Haters to the left and all.

a character I just can't sympathize withAgain, tricky. I can sympathize even with some of the bad guys. Okay, ( ... )

Ha, someone prompted me with Angel at the same time I prompted you. We totally have some crossover in answers. :) It is hard to hate Illyria even though she took Fred away!

I kinda forgot about Kate and Connor while I was asking, but yeah, both totally overlooked in fandom. *nods*

Ha, yeah, I see we answered that question almost identically. :D

Hi, friend of Mizzy. She mentioned asking the same thing here that I did there, so I had to come see. ^-^

Hmm, based on the side tags, I'm gonna ask you for Chuck, please.

my favourite female character

Sarah! Fell in love with her from the first ep I saw

my favourite male character

Chuck. Adorable and geeky, that's a nice combination.

my favourite book/season/etc

Season two is my favorite. I think at the time I wrote something like "this cracky little spy show can really rock a story arc." :)

my favourite episode/issue/chapter, etc

Been a while. Hmm. Anything from around the season 2 finale, probably. Also loved Chuck vs the Nacho Sampler, and Chuck vs the final exam.

my favourite cast member

Adam Baldwin. He's just cool in everything.

my favourite relationship

Total Chuck/Sarah shipper

a character I'd die defending

I wasn't that involved in the fandom apart from reading fic, so I don't know if any of the characters got bashed. I feel particularly protective about Sarah.

a character I just can't sympathize with

Shaw. Found him slimy from the beginning.

a character I grew to loveMorgan. In season one I was just thinking how annoying a character Morgan was (I don't like manchildren) and ( ... )

I feel totally left out of these -- I don't really watch TV (except for Game of Thrones and a couple of re-runs I have on DVD, like, the Unusuals or Star Trek) and have no idea who any of these people are ... :-(

I don't watch a lot of shows, I tend to rewatch my faves a lot rather than getting into something new. But the fandoms add up over the years.

You have never watched Buffy/Angel!?

You have never watched Buffy/Angel!?

Emmm ... nope. Not a single episode. Or Chuck. Or Arrow. Or ...

The only shows I have watched sufficiently to care enough to tune in when they were on and perhaps remember some characters' names, are CSI (all three at various times, but stopped about 3 years ago); Law and Order (only the original and some SVU, ditto on the abandonment); Star Trek TNG and ER (waaaaayyyyyy back when, stopped caring when George Clooney left). Call me a cultural hermit ...

On DVD I watched (and own) ST: Voyager, Firefly and The Unusuals, the latter I acquired purely for Jeremy Renner. Voyager, of which I watched all 7 seasons twice in a row, with my daughter draped all over me, intrigued me enough to start writing fanfiction (once I stumbled across the concept) -- which in turn explains why I stopped watching TV altogether, because now I spend my evenings writing instead.

I expect to give the new SHIELD series a try though! :-)

I'll contain myself and not try to push Buffy on you. ;) (But it's really fantastic.)

I will most certainly check out the new SHIELD show, too. I hope it lives up to the expectations.

Right now the only shows I'm watching are Continuum and the Americans, which is on hiatus. And me and the roommate got hooked on Project Runway, after I read one Avengers crossover...

I bought season 9 of SVU simply because Adam Beach is in it, but I'm not really that enamoured by the show. I'm halfway through the season and am getting the nagging feeling that overall they're paying a lot more attention to the feelings of the perpetrators that those of the victims and it's starting to bug me. Also, not enough Adam Beach.

Damn, why can't Adam be on SHIELD or Continuum instead of Arctic Air. That would be perfect!
