Stolen from a mess of people, but it just seems like fun :)

1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific or general.
2. Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.

Top Five Humorous Stargate: Atlantis Moments. :)

In no particular order:

1. Hide & Seek - When Shep shoots Rodney and Rodney smacks to the ground. We get the 'I shot him' followed by the 'I'm invincible! In. Vin. Cible!' ditty. It was the second ep I ever saw, after Duet, and actually a much better introduction. I love Duet, as it's on the list, but if you don't know the characters you just feel bad for Rodney. But the 'I shot him' and Shep's smug grin? I couldn't help but laugh.

2. Duet - The scene where Rodney wakes up in Laura's room and realizes he's naked. The hopping around, grasping desperately at the sheet to cover his shame, the sheer horror that Laura could've possible seen him naked and did... whatnot... to him. Golden.

3. Critical Mass - Zelenka coming back from the Kiddie Planet looking like a reject Lost Boy from "Hook". Rodney calls him Mr. Mom, and Zelenka is just trying to formulate his pure anger into words. I love Zelenka, there should be more of him.

4. The Hive - 'Big dose! Big big dose!' The entire scene from Rodney taking the ridiculous amount ( ... )

Any fandom: Favorite unconventional ship that you absolutely love but knew that could never be.

My favorite one is Sam/Donna from West Wing. I adore Josh/Donna because in the end, they're right. But in the beginning where she really is just an assistant, and Josh really isn't ever all that nice to her, in the scenes where Sam and Donna are together, he's nice to her. And he's always smiling at her. So in the world where there's no Josh, I'd love to see Sam & Donna have a thing. Cause unlike Josh, Sam doesn't need her. Josh needs her, and needs her up until the series ends.

But yeah, so in a world where Josh/Donna doesn't exist, I have a soft spot for Sam/Donna.

Out of all your fandoms, what's your favourite season finale? Why?

Hands down, 2.22 "Two Cathedrals" from West Wing. It's one of those episodes that I can watch over and over. From the flashbacks to Jed & Mrs. Landingham when they were younger, to Jed's speech in the National Cathedral, to Mrs. Landingham telling him that if he was scared then 'God Jed, I don't want to know you', I think the entire ep is the best hour of television I've ever seen. Now, most people's fav scene from it is the National Cathedral speech, but mine is the very end of the ep when they're asking if he's going to run again and Leo says 'Watch this' and Jed turns away, smiles and slips his hands into his pockets. For a show that depends so much on dialogue and banter, they showed more with that small gesture and answered the question without answering it. I get chills when Leo says 'Watch this'.

As well, I can't listen to Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms without having a wistful little feeling for the ep.

Best hour of television EVER.

Meeeee tooooooooooooo.

To everything you said.

My absolute favourite part is the montage itself. Jed and Charlie without their coats, and the rain, and that shot of all of their feet walking together.
It really is indescribable.

I can't listen to Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms without having a wistful little feeling for the ep.

Absolutely.

Who is your favorite character in each of your fandoms and why?

Jed Bartlett, The West Wing: I worked in politics, so I have a great love of any politician who routinely takes the high road. I love that he's smart, I love that he can be both a bleeding heart and a hard ass. I love that he cares for the people who are around him like they are children of his own. I love how he took Charlie under his wing when he didn't have to because this kid was just his body man. But over the course of seven years, he helped Charlie grow into the man he was supposed to become and I don't think that would've happened without Jed's help. He's still in love with his wife and still respects her after all this time. He's who I wish I had the chance to vote for.

Laura Roslin, Battlestar Galactica: Again, I have a weakness for strong leaders. I think she's probably the best portrayed strong, capable woman on TV right now. She was thrust into this job she never wanted but she adapted to and took on the responsiblity because it was her job. She can be both empathetic but never takes crap from anyone. She ( ... )
