Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them.
1. Supernatural
2. House
3. due South
4. Star Trek TNG
5. The Mentalist
01. Who's your favourite character in 2?
House, definitely. He's a brilliant asshole. I seem to be always fascinated by and (unfortunately?) attracted to brilliant assholes.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1?
Sam! Ugh, he's such a whiney little bitch and... just everything he does annoys the hell out of me. I could be past rational on this one.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4?
This is a tough one because I haven't seen it in sooo long. There are definitely better episodes, but the one(Datalore 1x12) where Wesley walks in on Data practicing how to sneeze is the one that always comes to mind first. FUNNIEST THING EVER!
04. What's your favorite season of 5?
So far, the first one. The second one was too episodic though it had a good episode here and there, and the third one (so far) is good, but nothing stands out much. The first one was a bit darker and had the BEST Cho-centric episode! <333
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3?
Ahahah, F/K (Fraser/Ray Kowalski)! I still <3 them so much. I wish I was free on Sunday to get back into the rewatch, dammit!
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2?
I don't really ship anyone in House, so much. I guess pretty much Cameron with anyone. I hate that bitch.
07. How long have you watched 1?
louiex gave me the first season just after it ended, so I've been watching since then. SHE'S SUCH A SMART COOKIE! <3
08. How did you become interested in 3?
Ohoho, I vaguely remembered seeing it when it aired in the US back when I was like 10 or something. But whencathybites and antheia found out that I am: a hockey fan, on lj, AND slash-friendly, they sent me the link to Hawks and Hands (a dS hockey AU) by Dira Sudis. I IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT THE DVD BOXSET AND IT WAS ALL DOWNHILL FROM THERE.
09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4?
Brent Spiner, hands down! Which reminds me that I still have video from the Brent Spiner panel I went to this summer at Dragon*Con that I should really upload to youtube or something.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5?
Hmmm, it's definitely between 1 and 2. This is actually tougher than it should be. I think I wasn't happy with the way things were going in the middle of season 5 of House, which is where I stopped watching (for now). Not that I'm all that happy with the way things are going in Supernatural either. I guess I'll say Supernatural since I'm actively watching it right now.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
Well, in terms of absolute value, I've seen more episodes of Supernatural because due South only had 67 in total, and it's been over for more than 10 years now. Haha. But I'm current on Supernatural too, so in terms of percentage, it's the same?
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Ahahah, this is a difficult question! I want to be Q; I want to be Lwaxana Troi; I want to be Deanna Troi (but only the one from the alternate universe where she's with Worf, because hnngh Worf); I want to be Tasha Yar for a moment because SHE SLEEPS WITH DATA!!!! I guess I'll just go with my first choice, because... what's not awesome about Q anyway?
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1?
Um... hahah? Dean's been killed before! But, like, killed off for good? It would end the show. I guess it would have to be something big, and to be in-character it would probably have to be something like him saving Sam. AGAIN. Or some junk like that. SIGH. I would be willing to accept this if it meant he could go back to being tortured in hell, and then give in again and turn evil. That would actually be a lovely way to kill him off. Yes, I'm serious. I often like torturing my favorite characters, what of it?
14. Give a random quote from 1.
"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole."
15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2?
OMG HOW PERFECT IS THIS QUESTION?! It would be hilarious to see Jane and House trying to read each other. And secrets! Hah! They both have them in multitudes! OH MY GOD, I want to see a crossover of this now, with House somehow helping Jane get further toward the truth of Red John! It would be easier to do it the other way around, like Jane has some medical condition House has to solve, but that's not as interesting.
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work?
WEIRD. I'm not sure how a crossover would work with due South and Star Trek TNG. Maybe only if it was the dS world in the holodeck or something.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Unlikely but strangely okay? If we ask three-quarters of SPN fandom, Sam/Dean would be the popular answer, I think. But I really do hate Sam, so that wouldn't work for me. AHA! Dean and Ellen! YES I SHIPPED IT SO HARD (in my headcanon, at least, and when it was relevant).
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way?
...no, not really? Though if I ever meet someone like Cho I'm going to cling like a limpet and never ever let go.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4?
Well, I have to say Star Trek TNG was better cast, but I think casting Hugh Laurie as House probably is equivalent to several of the secondary characters on TNG.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5?
Oh, definitely due South! The opening theme is just gorgeous and sad and lovely, as is much of the instrumental score and a lot of the songs used in certain episodes are wonderfully appropriate (and catchy as hell) too! Just comparing opening theme music dS wins over The Mentalist, no question. But dS also used Stan Rogers' Northwest Passage in the last episode, and how can that possibly be beat?!
That was fun! =D
